The World Car of the Year title represents another accolade for a vehicle that has garnered more than 70 awards since its introduction in 2019. The SUV has already been crowned North American Utility Vehicle of the Year and <i>MotorTrend<\/i> SUV of the Year, among others.<\/p>\n<p>The fully-electric Soul EV was named the ideal car for the city by the jury, combining zero-emission performance and impressive electric range with a compact body, bold design, and high levels of practicality.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everyone at Kia is truly honored to receive not just one, but two awards from the World Car of the Year judging panel,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Thomas Schemera<\/span>, Executive Vice President and Head of Product Division at Kia Motors Corporation. &#8220;This is one of the hardest-fought competitions in the global automotive industry, proving that the Telluride and Soul EV are both truly outstanding vehicles. These accolades are testament to the talents and efforts of a worldwide team, who all strive to create desirable, high-quality and practical cars that drivers love.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The winners of the World Car Awards are decided by an independent international jury comprising 86 highly-experienced, well-respected automotive journalists from 24 countries around the world. <\/p>\n<p>Available across <span class=\"xn-location\">North America<\/span> and in many of Kia&#8217;s global markets, the Kia Telluride merges a strong exterior design presence with a spacious, practical and high-quality cabin which can seat up to eight passengers. Equipped with an array of advanced technologies, all-wheel drive, and driver-assistance systems, the Telluride is ideal for family adventures on and off the beaten track.<\/p>\n<p>The compact Kia Soul EV features a powerful battery-electric powertrain with a choice of 64 or 39.2 kWh battery packs. Able to travel up to 452 kilometers on a single charge (64 kWh models; WLTP &#8216;combined&#8217; cycle), the Soul EV offers drivers greater all-electric range than many more expensive electric vehicles, making it the ideal companion, both in the urban environment and beyond city limits. A series of advanced range-increasing technologies, including regenerative braking, ensures drivers can maximize the distance on a single charge. <\/p>\n<p><b>About Kia Motors Corporation <br \/><\/b><i>Kia Motors (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2772582-1&amp;h=1527185178&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kia.com%2F&amp;a=www.kia.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.kia.com<\/a>) is a maker of world-class quality vehicles for the young-at-heart.<\/i> <i>Founded in 1944, Kia today sells around 3 million vehicles a year in over 190 countries, with 52,000 employees worldwide, annual revenues of over <span class=\"xn-money\">KRW 58 trillion<\/span> (about <span class=\"xn-money\">US$50 billion<\/span>) and manufacturing facilities in six countries.
