A Kia Soul EV to be exact. It's a fleet demo vehicle that I'm using for a couple of days. Quite good fun. Drives well, although I don't like whatever they've made the steering wheel out of. It's very tacky and my hands stick to it.
Quite well equipped with sat nav and reversing camera.

A timely update. My firm has an order for two. Unfortunately the delivery date has been put back twice. As our current Citroen Belingo is due to be returned Kia supplied us with a Niro plug in hybrid while we awaiting the Soul's arrival. We took delivery of the Niro yesterday, it's quite good.

It has all the toys you could want. Using electric only, the range is about 33 miles! So is used in conjuction with the engine.

I've just discovered that it has sports mode.. lol

Drive quite well. And it's got to be built better than the Berlingo it replaces!!!

I enjoyed, it drives well and has enough go for town use. Pottered at 55mph on the A3 with minimal effort.

So, the hired Niro EV was returned and replaced with a 68plate soul.

5 days, 185 miles on the clock and one lads smashed the rear door and wheel arch on a bollard. I just had to email the fleet administrator.

He's going to love this..

And the Kia replacement has arrived. Overall, it was good to drive, sufferered no end of headlamp bulbs blowing and bizarrely, loads of punctures?

Dealer service left alot to be desired which is why we've changed manafacturers.

Welcome to the Mokka E. Or as it's been christened, the mockery..
