2015 Kia Soul EV - Redline: Review

[@jhindson88]

I waited 8 months for delivery in Canada. It was worth the wait. It is a great car with great features and a very smooth ride for an EV. (also have a 2013 Leaf)

[@attackchawa4615]

Do you still have the 2015 Kia EV? If so how is it doing?

[@luism8612]

Answer the question mf

[@davidweale323]

Great video Sofyan! You always do incredible reviews. I love them. You and your team keep up the great work!

[@YourMajesticKyng]

Redline Reviews Top notch reviews as always. Good work.

[@GregReavis]

100 miles isn't that bad. It's BS that it's not available nationwide, but I'm sure it will be shortly.

[@joycewoodland9513]

I just got one ,have to get use to it so far it seems like a fun car

[@edfal1306]

Redline Reviews I have a small request: if you reference a previous video, can you link it in the description? Thanks again for another great video!

[@XXtheJUMPoffXX]

This car never changes

[@TheYellowSchoolBusDude]

Im so glad you're showing us one in a color other than that nasty blue and white.

[@maxburgess7040]

one car I would LOVE to see you do is a Tesla Model S with the 85 kilowatt performance battery!!!

[@LeoNation007]

Looks just like the one I got in 2016, love it! But definitely wish it had more range. Still going strong tho! 😛💪

[@Ryukachoo]

6:20 god DAMN i cant wait until battery tech catches up and we can have proper EV sportscars and musclecars. this stupid tree and leaf stuff pisses me off. also, am i the only one that appreciates both good electric cars (tesla) and good gasoline cars equally rather than rabidly defending one or the other?

[@misternazih]

Ryukachoo tbh the tesla is the only EV that is fun to drive, and it has the most range.

[@Ryukachoo]

***** bah, you just haven't driven a fun one yet. there's something indescribably fun about good cars, be it super powerful loud muscle cars or light and lean hard-turning sports cars. i'm ok with the EV future but i'll lament the passing of ICE either way

[@petercharles2580]

Great review, thanks.

[@WallyHagerty]

This EV dose have a locking charge port. So it can't be removed if the car is locked. Check it out.

[@helivesonforever]

I googled "hampster mobile". I shook my head after I saw the results.

[@rowdyplayzalldayz7557]

can you review the new Toyota Yaris?

[@justinrosario4416]

Can you do a GMC Terrain 2012 please

[@RetroGamerVX]

Hmm, seems better than I thought, but I don't think, apart from those who stay within a small area, these cars won't become viable until quick charge comes in.

[@coffeeblak86]

They should put that electric motor in the new Miata. Cant believe the miata has so little horsepower and runs on petrol. Might as well put this electric motor in it. similar horsepower. Miata is already super light so battery wouldn't be all that bad on performance hopefully.

The 2016 has panoramic sunroof as an option. see: pemessier.hexpresso.org/SoulEV/

[@thehockeygamer3997]

When can you review a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder?

[@theblackninja7446]

You should totally drive the 2016 Nissan Maxima SR or Platinum.

[@djkenny1202]

100 miles. Most folks can get to work in 20 or less, in fact the vast majority commute 15 miles or less. Plug it in every two over night at home. Problem Solved. Or, hook it up to a local 80% Quick Charge for 20 minutes.

[@Jtob410]

djkenny what do you do if you want to travel out of your state or city?

[@djkenny1202]

Rent a car. I doubt I do that note than 2-3 times in a 6 month period. Or, just look up charging stations. You could also have a 2nd car in the household. These go 100 miles, unless you are on a 400 mile trip or something, that’s plenty. I know folks that travel 2.75 hrs to the coast and just get 1 charge. But in general for most of us we’d do fine.

[@djkenny1202]

You rent. Or, if you have two cars in the house hold, the other isn’t EV.

[@coopergold1395]

djkenny most of the time (not all the time) out of state means 200 miles and up.

[@djkenny1202]

To get somewhere it’s 200 miles? That doesn’t sound sustainable? Commuting 200 miles in a single day? I know there’s occasions where people have to go really long distances to afford homes and live outside work, but that’s a fairly small sum of folks. Most are 20 miles or less each way. =40 total. Still leaving about 50+ the next day, not plugging in over night. But again, they could plug in when arriving home making it for sure a non issue.

[@nicktune1219]

At first I thought you were driving in reverse at 30mph. Haha

[@Veyronp87]

good option for an electric commuter car. really want to see a tesla model s review

[@tubesurfer23]

Be nice if someone could compete with Tesla. One day.... great review btw.

[@varunmunjal9659]

had to skip the comparisons to the gas car but appreciated the model

[@sandytorres1229]

No offense but when will you make a tesla model s video please make a review

[@DrRyan82994]

Got a chance to drive my friend's Leaf, it was pretty fun surprisingly. I'd probably have a Soul myself, there's no legroom in the Leaf man and it does look pretty ugly. I'd swap the wheels on this probably.

[@MatthewShermanHappy420]

I live in California, you can't get these cars...they are always out of stock...its bullshit to say its available...when you call no one has any...I have two nissan leafs now, they are great cars

[@electriccars-EV]

[@corvetkidable]

The all white paint reminds me of a refrigerator

[@anastasiahromanova6529]

This car looks like a washing machine on wheels.

[@stilliraise9201]

You forgot to mention battery fan or liquid cooled. This was leaf biggest mistake. Battery die when heat.so don't buy an electric vehicle without liquid cooled. It's not gonna last

[@TENTHIRTYONE]

I think I had a seizure from all the light flashing while he was driving through the trees.

[@jsiszero]

Leather in an eco-friendly vehicle???

[@banstaman]

Buck Futter It's synthetic/leatherette.

[@helivesonforever]

Buck Futter Fake leather at best. Probably supped up vinyl really. Most cars with "leather" are bullshit. Leather lasts longer than 5 years without cracking.

[@bimmerguy9274]

Didn't he say they were made out of recycled materials such as plastic?

[@helivesonforever]

Skyler Scoles yeah, making crappy 'leather' even crappier.

[@BruhHowDidIGetHere]

93 Miles on a full charge? Screw the environment if it means I can't go on a road trip lol

[@BTC909]

Lease only. This will be worth under 10K when the Bolt, Model 3, and 2017 Leaf shows up.

[@oilerlord6513]

+Ivan Vojt I'm counting on it. In keeping with 2-3 year old Nissan Leaf depreciation that's around 50%, 2015 lease-returned Soul EV's will be available for $15,000 and less in 2017. I can wait a year to save ~$15,000 or more on a low mileage used one. For me, this is the best overall EV package (other than a Tesla) that the masses can afford.

[@BTC909]

+oilerlord I was pondering the same thing. I know to avoid the 2011, 2012 Leaf's due to the battery change in 2013. A Model S or X is way out of my price range and I would never pay that amount of money for transportation anyways.

It's still one of the worst looking cars ever

[@tEAm4z]

Csab How exactly does his age change the vehicles appearance?

[@sirot5561]

This car just seems to annoying to own

[@ladyvee7110]

One of the worst looking cars on the road.

[@ChironIV]

I disagree with you... I appreciate it's quirky and unique style

[@ladyvee7110]

Zach Flyge Good for you. :-)

[@vikk5459]

I agree. I drove it recently (gas version) and it looked different but lacked power, and I found the interior annoying.

[@RomanM803]

No the worst looking car are the maxima and 911.

[@Callediceman]

ladyvee7110 Its not that bad. I would have to give the crown to Buick. The Encore.....

[@730F-Sport]

If its a KIA i don't want it.

[@RealtimeReviews613]

Kia still seems lame, cheap yet overpriced
