2023 Kia Soul EV Interior and Exterior Features

You’ll enjoy a relaxing ride inside the Soul EV, as the Soul EV has a power-adjustable driver’s seat, two-way lumbar support, and heated front seats. The Premium trim has cloth seats, while the Limited has leather seats with air-cooled front seats working at three speeds to circulate cabin air. The Limited trim also has heated rear seats.

The Premium and Limited Trims have black seating and a 60:40 folding rear seat row. You can fold down the second row to get up to 61.3 cubic feet of cargo space when you need to tote more items. The trunk is also spacious, as it has 18.7 cubic feet of room when the floor is raised or 23.4 cubic feet when you lower the floor.

The front row has 41.1 inches of leg room, and the rear row has 36.5 inches of room, so everyone will have space to relax. There’s also about 39.3 inches of headroom throughout the entire cabin.

The exterior part is easily distinctive, as you’ll notice a flashy front end with a contoured layout. A right-angle accent on the rear adds a modern touch, plus you’ll find some slight contours around the sides and near the wheels.

You’ll find 17-inch alloy wheels on the outside, plus there are dual-functional LED headlights at the front. The solar glass windows prevent excess heat from getting in the cabin, plus the rear privacy tinted glass adds extra security. The Limited trim also comes with a power sunroof with a configurable sunscreen that lets you adjust how much light comes in through the roof.

The 2023 Kia Soul EV is available in Gravity Grey, Neptune Blue, Fusion Black, and Snow White Pearl colours.

2023 Kia Soul EV Technology Features

Enjoy the ride in the Soul EV with the included 10.25-inch multimedia screen. The screen features a touchscreen navigation setup that helps you see where you’re going.

It’s easy to stay connected in the Soul EV, as this vehicle features Bluetooth support, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, a USB charging port, and a wireless phone charger.

The automatic climate control and defog system inside the Soul EV keeps everyone comfortable. You can adjust the setting based on the temperature you want in the cabin, and the system will start cooling or heating as necessary.

Everyone will also stay entertained with the multi-speaker stereo system, which includes SiriusXM satellite radio support. The Limited trim includes a Harman Kardon premium audio system that produces clear sounds and provides outstanding acoustics throughout the cabin.

2023 Kia Soul EV Performance

Depending on the 2023 Kia Soul EV trim you drive, you’ll enjoy a 327 or 356-volt permanent magnet AC synchronous motor. The motor layout creates a consistent magnetic field to keep the vehicle powered and ready to go. The lithium-ion polymer battery arrangement can also handle intense physical conditions.

Regardless of which electric motor you use, the Soul EV uses a single-speed reduction gear. The gear system provides quick power to the engine to keep it functional in less time.
