Peugeot e-2008 vs Hyundai Kona Electric vs Kia Soul EV: verdict and specifications

1st: Kia Soul EV

Despite being more expensive than the Peugeot, Kia’s electric Soul is the winner here with its better efficiency, impressive kit list, smooth driving dynamics and roomy cabin proving too much for the e-2008. Granted, the Soul is down on boot space, but it still promises enough for most motorists’ requirements. Furthermore, the Kia’s strong electric-car credentials, such as better range and regenerative braking features, help it clinch victory, too. All in all, it’s a great buy.

2nd: Peugeot e-2008

While the e-2008 might not have the range or flexibility of a Kona Electric, its better practicality (larger boot and roomier cabin) and lower price mean it takes second place. What’s more, bonuses such as free charging for six months are a plus. Providing the shorter range is bearable, the e-2008 is a well engineered electric car that’ll suit those with a slightly tighter budget.

3rd: Hyundai Kona Electric

It’s hard to fault the Kona Electric for its range or performance (after all, it shares much of its hardware with the winner) but it’s the most expensive car here by some distance. It’s also less practical than the Peugeot and not as well equipped as the Kia. Another mark against the Kona is its somewhat bland interior. It’ll still be incredibly cheap to run and is an appealing electric car, but its rivals offer more value for most motorists.
