Do you have a long commute or road trip ahead? Keep your wallet happy by driving the 2018 Kia Soul. These vehicles are designed for fuel-efficiency and saving you money on the way to your next destination.
The Shape of the Body
When you are looking for a wallet-friendly car, think about its shape. As a compact car, the Soul works its way through the air on the road with ease. However, height is not the only crucial exterior aspect; consider the lines on the vehicle as well. The tighter they are, the more aerodynamic the car becomes.
A Larger Battery
Beyond the shape of the car, another critical factor is the size of the battery. The EV battery has a full-charge range of an eye-popping 111 miles. This is a nice increase of 18 miles from the 2017 models. Depending on the length of your daily commute, this feature has the potential of keeping you away from your traditional engine for multiple days. By staying in electric mode, you are saving money and the planet at the same time.
The most fuel-efficient model combines electric driving with a traditional turbo engine. This combination gets you 26 mpg in the city and 31 mpg when you are on the highway. The Soul EV trim runs on an A/C synchronous permanent magnet motor giving you an astounding 124 mpg in the city and 93 mpg on the highway.
A Larger Gas Tank
Beyond the electric battery, another reason the Soul is your wallet’s best friend is its gas tank. It includes a rather beefy 14.2-gallon tank in each model. Depending on the trim level you choose, your fuel range varies between 426 and 490 miles with a full tank. If you drive that distance from Vacaville, you can reach Cypress, CA without stopping for fuel for the gas. We recommend the driver takes safety breaks during that trip. The astounding 490-mile trip sees you reach as far as San Jacinto on one tank.
These technologies mean the 2018 Kia Soul is one of the greenest cars on the road. By increasing the electric range of the car, you decrease your carbon footprint. The reduction of harmful emissions means you are working to create a healthier planet for today’s population as well as future generations. Another benefit of an eco-friendly car is that it’s quiet! Since you are relying on non-traditional elements under the hood, it keeps the car quiet.
Gone are the days when a loud, clunking engine announced your arrival before you could get out of the car. Instead, these quiet engines allow you to focus on the traffic around you. By increasing driver awareness you can stay alert on the road and also realize when it’s time to stop for a break. They also create a smoother ride that is less stressful for you as a driver and for your passengers.
