What should I look for in a used Kia Soul EV hatchback?

On the whole, the Soul EV is a solid and sensible electric car, but with many examples having lived an urban existence, it's worth carefully checking its condition inside and out. Check the interior for signs of wear and tear, and that slab-sided body for parking dings. Also, check the tyres and alloy wheels for any kerb damage.

Is a used Kia Soul EV hatchback reliable?

The latest Kia Soul EV was too new to feature in our 2021 What Car? Reliability Survey. However, Kia as a brand featured and placed ninth out of 30 manufacturers, which is impressive and a good sign when looking to how well the Soul EV should hold up over time.
