2015 Kia Soul EV Priced At $33,700

As sales of the 2015 Kia Soul EV expect to kick off this fall, Kia has finally announced pricing for its all-electric Soul. Not including the available $7,500 Federal Tax Credit, the 2015 Kia Soul EV will have a starting price of $33,700, but before you go checking your bank account, this EV will only be sold in limited numbers in select California markets (at least initially).

This starting price is more than double the price of a base 2015 Kia Soul and is more expensive than the $29,010 Nissan Leaf or the $28,000 for Smart ForTwo Electric Drive, but the 2015 Kia Soul EV does come with plenty of features to justify the higher price. This includes the standard navigation, backup camera, Bluetooth and cruise control.

For an extra $2,000, the 2015 Kia Soul EV Plus adds a leather interior, heated and ventilated front seats, heated outboard rear seats and power folding door mirrors. If buying isn’t your cup of tea, the 2015 Kia Soul EV will also launch with a special lease rate $249 per month for 36 months with $1,999 due at signing, and the Federal Tax Credit has already been applied.

Both versions of the 2015 Kia Soul EV will come with an EV-specific HVAC system that helps extend driving range by running more efficiently. Drivers can also avoid range anxiety thanks to the Kia UVO EV Services. From inside the car, this helpful service helps to eliminate by showing battery charge level status, driving range and nearby charging stations. From the mobile app, UVO EV Services can set charging times and remotely pre-condition the vehicle while charging so energy isn’t wasted heating or cooling the interior while driving.

With our iconic urban passenger vehicle’s wildly popular style and functionality mated to eco-friendly electric-drive technology that delivers best-in-class range, we’re confident that the Soul EV represents a winning combination,” said Michael Sprague, executive vice president of sales and marketing, Kia Motors America.
