Reviews SummaryKia estimates the 2019 Soul EV will provide up to 111 miles of driving range on a single charge. By modern standards, that is not an impressive number. But the Soul EV is reasonably priced and well equipped, and when you need maximum cargo space or room for some furry friends, its cube-shaped design sure comes in handy. | |
Reviews SummaryWith the Kia EV9, the Korean automaker innovates in more ways than one. It’s not only a new vehicle, or even only a new electric vehicle (EV). It also introduces a new business model that allows owners to continue to customize their vehicle long after they’ve left the dealership. And yet, while it breaks new ground, the EV9 manages to provide a refreshingly familiar driving experience. Verdict: It looks like Kia’s got a winner on its hands. Well-appointed, comfortably sized, and offered at a price point fit to embarrass its luxury-brand rivals, the EV9 is a compelling package. Add to that its intuitive driving feel and its potential for later-term customization, and this just may be the ambassador vehicle it takes to bring the EV-wary over to the green side. | |
