Kia Soul data analysis

How Kia Soul EPA electric range varies

Across 6 configurations recorded for the 2015 through 2020 Kia Soul, EPA electric range runs from 93 miles to 243 miles. The strongest figure belongs to the 2020 Kia Soul at 243 miles, and the weakest to the 2017 car at 93 miles — a spread of 161%. A gap that wide means the model year and configuration you buy matter more than the nameplate does: quoting a single number for the Kia Soul would be misleading.

What changed for 2020

Average EPA electric range for the 2020 Kia Soul is 243 miles, against 111 miles for the 2019 car — it rose by 132 miles. That is a real improvement, and it is the kind of change worth paying the newer-year premium for if this figure drives your decision.

How to read this Kia Soul data

This page lists every 2015 through 2020 Kia Soul record we hold for this measurement — 6 rows in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.

Where these Kia Soul figures come from

Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The Kia Soul record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.
