Vincentric Awards Kia Soul EV

Apr 13, 2015

Vincentric has named the 2015 Kia Soul EV as a 2015 ‘Best Value in America” winner in the Electric/Plug-in Hybrid vehicle category. The Vincentric awards are based on analysis conducted by the company on each new vehicle that is currently available in the U.S.

The cost of ownership is measured based on eight specific factors that affect costs, such as fees & taxes, repairs, depreciation, maintenance, financing, insurance, fuel and opportunity cost. The company then uses this information to compare the vehicles against others in the same category to see which offers the best overall value.

“The Kia brand has always stood for value, and even as we’ve grown and matured, adding ever more refined and diverse models to our lineup, we’ve never strayed from that commitment to our customers,” said Orth Hedrick, vice president, product planning, Kia Motors America. “The Soul EV, our first all-electric zero-emissions vehicle for the U.S. market continues that commitment. It offers iconic design, the best range of any vehicle in its class and superbly practical packaging, all at an affordable price. Being honored as a ‘Best Value in America’ by Vincentric is validation of Kia’s winning formula.”
