Soul survivor

Kia's 'replacement' for the Soul EV is a more trad crossover, does the EV3 win us over?

CARMAKERS' UNDERSTANDING OF aero has come a long way since the Vauxhall Calibra 2.0 8V and its 0.26 drag coefficient. You wouldn't think it by looking at it, but somehow Kia's boxy new EV3 pretty much matches that Cd figure. Yep, with its 0.267Cd this compact crossover is as slippery as a 1990s coupe, and the result is an impressive max range of 348 miles on a single charge.
