Kia today announced a starting price of the all-electric Soul EV of $34,500 (including destination charges). That puts the Soul EV in direct competition with the Nissan LEAF, Volkswagen E-Golf, and Ford Focus Electric. Any differences in pricing between the leading models will largely come down to the relative trim and option packages offered in these battery-powered models.
There are less expensive EVs, but those usually come in smaller packages—such as the Smart Electric Drive, Fiat 500e, Chevy Spark Electric, and Mitsubishi i. And there are pricier, although more luxurious, electric models in the form of the BMW i3 and Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive.
But among the group of EVs priced in the mid-$30,000 range, the Kia Soul offers its iconic groovy design, a little more passenger space, and a slightly larger battery pack that offers about a dozen more miles of range. The Soul EV earned a combined city-highway EPA-estimated range of 93 miles.
