As the auto industry continues to shift towards sustainability, automakers are constantly adding more fuel efficient options to their lineups. Kia is definitely on board with this initiative, and has already made great progress by introducing models like the Kia Optima Hybrid. To expand its offerings further, the automaker recently announced another exciting eco-friendly addition would be occurring in the future.
Kia Motors America is currently focusing its efforts on the development of an all-electric version of the Kia Soul model. Rumors have been circulating for quite some time now about whether or not the U.S. market would receive this new model, but confirmation has finally been made!
Auto experts predict impressive improvements will be made to the Soul as it becomes transformed into an electric vehicle. These will include enhancements to its aerodynamics, as well as other changes that will really make the model stand out amongst its competition.
