TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 Kia Soul EV compares well to other small battery-electric cars, and its interior volume and slightly higher range give it an edge—but you can only buy one in limited areas.

A sporty alternative to a growing list of subcompact SUVs, the 2016 Nissan Juke is part rambunctious rally-racer, part defiantly different crossover, but it lacks the space and fuel economy of most rivals.

TCC Likes

Space for people and stuff
100-plus miles of real-world range
Standard DC quick charging

Eye-catching profile, stance, and styling
Nice seating position
Affordability and value

TCC Dislikes

Only sold in California, today
Interior could be toned down
Numb electric steering

Small inside
Poor gas mileage for its size
AWD is for traction, not performance
