At the Auto Expo 2020, Kia e-Soul was displayed under the form of the long-range version. The electric crossover is currently on sales at the international market.
In terms of design, the Kia e-Soul has a strong SUV influence on its exterior looks. It features a boxy and bulky styling with a high and upright stance. On the front-fascia, the e-Soul gets full-LED headlamps. The rear end shows some unique takes including the futuristically-styled LED foglights along with the LED taillight. To the side profile, the electric crossover employs a set of 17-inch machined alloy wheels. Provided as optional design features, the skid plates, and body cladding will make the design appear even more funky and robust.
