Kia Motors America today announced plans to offer an all-electric, zero-emission version of the popular Soul in select U.S. markets starting in 2014.
Details about the future Kia Soul EV remain scarce. We'll know more about the car's powertrain, range/MPGe, packaging, and go-to-market strategy “at an upcoming major U.S. auto show,” most likely in Los Angeles.
“Eco-consciousness already comes standard on the all-new Soul with 85% of its materials able to be recycled at the end of its lifespan, and the Soul EV will further demonstrate Kia's engineering capabilities as well as our commitment to producing vehicles with reduced environmental footprints,”said Orth Hedrick, executive director of product planning, Kia Motors America.
“The Soul has always been a terrific choice for drivers in urban environments, and the all-new version's blend of technology, refinement, style, improved dynamics and value has allowed us to create a car that is as efficient as it is fun to drive.”
