The Kia Soul has been named the Best Value Electric Car at the Auto Trader New Car Awards 2021.

Auto Trader s annual New Car Awards celebrate the best of the best across the latest models. With every manufacturer that sells cars to the UK market included in the judging, it s incredible for Kia to claim this title.

This is a particularly important award as more and more affordable EVs are hitting the market.

Auto Trader commented Credit due to the Kia Soul EV for scooping our Best Value Electric Car Award 2021 in that context, the car s combination of distinctive looks, value for money and official 280-mile range all adding up to a confidence inspiring package for first-time electric car buyers. 

Add in Kia s trademark seven-year warranty and you can see why it attracts so many satisfied customers. 

Auto Trader customers praised the Kia Soul for its performance to match any equivalent petrol or diesel car around town or on the motorway.
