The model
Read full reviewIf you’re considering an electric car, the Soul is definitely one to add to your list. Some may find the ride a touch firm, but it has strong performance, an impressively long range and comes very well equipped. Just bear in mind that, while its compact size will be a boon for many, the boot is on the small side.
The trim
See full equipmentThis entry-level trim is only available with the 34kWh battery but is well equipped, giving you standard toys including 17in alloy wheels, automatic LED headlights, rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera and an 8.0in touchscreen infotainment system.
The engine
See full engine specsWe suspect the smaller battery that comes with the Soul EV Urban is aimed at those living in cities. It comes with an official 170-mile range and should be quick enough off the mark to make nipping through traffic easy.
