2021 Kia e-Soul (Soul EV) review 4K - Lovable EV

[@Elsido88]

You can get different rims. My dealer put xceed rims on it which looks really good!

[@OneTireFire]

oh, sure, the dealer can do anything, but officially, just this wheel design is available for the EV. i agree that it looks so much better on the xCeed wheels, it we’re refering to the same design.

Am rămas surprins sa citesc un articol scris de un conațional. Foarte bun redactat iar engleza ta este ireproșabilă! Cum zice americanul: keep up the good work man!!!

Mulțumesc 👋🙏

From the front & side it looks like a small Range Rover. You done a great review. I just bought one..in storm trooper white ;)

[@OneTireFire]

Oh, now that you mention it, I do see the Range resemblance. Congrats, storm trooper white FTW :D

I'm just a little disappointed that they didn't incorporate a frunk into this car. There was deffenetly some room under the hood to relocate some of the electronics and incorporate a frunk. It sounds like a small gimmick, I think it's a feature that EV owners really enjoy about their cars, model depending of course.

[@OneTireFire]

Yes, there was definitely room for it under the hood. I guess they didn’t bother because it’s still based on an ICE vehicle and they had new and better EVs planned. The EV6 has a frunk, for instance, but it’s only usable in RWD cars.

[@greenmondaymorning]

@@OneTireFire interesting, I wonder if Canada will get a rwd option, because we didn't with the stinger. Canada only got AWD models.

[@OneTireFire]

@@greenmondaymorning if you only get the EV6 AWD, then the frunk is minuscule. Probably not even big enough for charging cables…

[@TheoWilms]

At least on german ebay there are a couple of aftermarkte frunks fitted for the eSoul. I bought one for mine for around 80 Euros. They are usually simple plastic boxes with fittings that allow you to connect them to the points where usually the engine cover is mounted. Very practical and enought space for all the loading equipement you need :)

[@geoffglave2630]

There are a number of aftermarket frunks available that are pretty easy to install.

Salut. In romana nu te-ai gândit să faci clipuri?

[@OneTireFire]

ba da, am început și un canal în română - Mașinații :D

Don't you have a lower trim version in your country? ... in germany you can get the (still well equipped) model "vision" with 64kWh for 29k, of course including 9,5 k incentives... in my eyes a deal-maker ;-)

[@OneTireFire]

I just checked and the cheapest 64 kWh model is 42,000 euros, Motion trim level. With incentives and a small Kia Romania discount, looks like you pay a bit over 28,000 for one.

[@detlefk.5126]

​@@OneTireFire ...true.... not bad for a range of over 400km (summer, mix) and much better equipped as for example an id3. The 39kWh version is 4k less.
