Kia Soul
Look out world of electric vehicles, Kia's funny little box-like vehicle is up to its old tricks. The Soul is now available in a 100% electric version with an estimated driving range of about 160 km. However, most Souls will have gasoline engines. With either a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder or a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder, the Soul is proof positive that you can be square and dynamic at the same time.
