Electric Kia Soul confirmed for mid 2014

Electric Kia Soul confirmed for mid 2014

Our friends at Auto Express have reported that production of an electric version of the next-gen Kia Soul has been confirmed, and that it will join the European line-up from mid-2014.

Set for launch next year, the next-gen Soul will be a completely new car and not a facelift. However the styling is not expected to change much, in keeping with demand in the US, where it sells well to younger buyers. There is talk that the conventionally-powered new Soul will launch at either the Chicago or New York motor shows next year.

The funky compact car has spawned several variants including a flex-fuel version for Brazil, a Red Rock Special Edition for the US and more recently a toughened-up AWD concept. You can also remind yourself of an early series of commercials – if you like hamsters.

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.

    More important is: Is it coming here? When?
