CITROEN E-C4 VS VOLKSWAGEN ID.3 VS KIA SOUL EV: WHICH ELECTRIC HATCHBACK IS BEST?

EV Channels Review

This video pits the Citroen e-C4, Volkswagen ID.3, and Kia Soul EV against each other to determine the best family electric hatchback. While all three are presented as viable entry points into EV ownership, they offer distinct experiences. The Kia Soul EV stands out with its unique, boxy-yet-sporty design and a comfortable, long-range offering, though its interior is noted as feeling slightly dated. The Citroen e-C4 prioritizes comfort with its memory foam seats and supple ride, but its shorter range (217 miles WLTP) and higher price point make it less compelling compared to the others. The Volkswagen ID.3, a bespoke EV, impresses with its spacious interior, good handling, and a feeling of being a true electric car, despite some perceived compromises in interior quality and a conservative exterior design. Ultimately, the reviewers are torn, with one favoring the fun factor and distinctiveness of the Soul, while the other leans towards the ID.3 for its modern, purpose-built EV nature, despite its grey exterior.
