At the Chris Auffenberg family of dealerships, we are just as passionate about conserving our environment as we are about providing our communities with quality vehicles and exceptional customer service. That’s why we’re going to talk about the 2017 Kia Soul EV. The Soul EV has some amazing technological tools and features that make it into one of the most eco and tech-friendly vehicles around.
Engine and Braking Features
The 2017 Kia Soul EV has been tuned to fit the modern world that we live in. With its smooth electric motor, and regenerative braking system, you’ll be able to notice the positive impact you’re having on the environment every time you drive it. Offering 109 horsepower, the uniquely designed motor of the 2017 Soul EV allows for swift acceleration and an exciting drive. Normally, when vehicles apply the brakes or go downhill the kinetic energy that gets built up is lost. With the 2017 Kia Soul EV’s regenerative braking system, every time you’re going downhill or you step on the brakes, your Soul EV charges itself which means you can go further between charges.
Connecting to your Kia Soul EV
Utilizing the UVO eco app, you can seamlessly link your Apple or Android smartphone to your 2017 Kia Soul EV. Once connected, you gain the ability to monitor your battery’s status conveniently from your kitchen or living room, ensuring you know when it’s fully charged. Moreover, the app allows you to unlock the driver’s side door and regulate the climate inside the Soul EV, ensuring a comfortable environment upon entry. Take advantage of the UVO eco app to schedule the charging hours of your Soul EV, optimizing usage during periods of lower rates!
Get Tech Smart with the 2017 Kia Soul EV
At the forefront of electric-vehicle technology, the 2017 Kia Soul EV boasts a versatile command center capable of handling various tasks. It provides real-time data on your driving range, helps locate charging stations, and allows you to schedule charges, mirroring the functionality of a smartphone app. The voice-command navigation ensures you can receive directions without diverting your attention from the road. The command center’s ECO Driving feature actively encourages eco-friendly driving habits, with the growth of leaves on your virtual tree reflecting your environmentally conscious choices.
