Looks like a VW Golf with different wheels. I'm not a fan of the blue-white combo. Otherwise, though, the Soul EV looks like any other Soul.
This is different. The e-Golf's face gains a blue line and unique LED DRLs. On the SEL the headlights are also LEDs.
The charge port takes the place of the fuel filler--in the right rear fender. Charger won't release? Why don't you give it a good yank...
The seventh-generation Golf is the most attractive to date. But not exciting to look at. I prefer the Soul EV in all white.
For 2015 light gray was the only interior color opion. For 2016 you can get beige or black. Kia did more to dress up its EV's interior. I'm not in love, but at least they tried.
BMW loves to reinvent the automotive interior. The salesman had to show me how to put it in D. Not especially stylish, but tasteful and solid.
Clear, logical controls--except for the antiquated nav. Kia made more of an effort to appear high-tech than VW, if less than BMW.
Comfortable and supportive. If only the vinyl looks more like leather... Adult-friendly back seat, with vents.
As much cargo capacity as a regular Golf--quite an achievement. Aside from the Tesla Model X, about as much cargo volume as you'll find in an EV.
There's little noise to suppress, but the e-Golf's EV bits get some garnishing anyway. The thing that looks like a cylinder head? Probably the inverter. The motor is under the beam.
