This subcompact crossover is equipped with the same powertrain as the Hyundai Kona EV, which produces 201 horsepower and 291 pound-feet of torque. Its great driving range will interest consumers that don’t want to deal with range anxiety, but need something more spacious than the Kona. The 2020 Kia Soul, also available as an EV, will arrive a little later, but should retail from $42,595.
