This was my first time getting a lease car so I was very unsure of the process , thankfully Sarah was fantastic and helped me through it from my initial enquiry to the delivery of the car. She gave me advice , knowledge of the process and most importantly gave me time at the beginning to think if it’s the right thing to do , this was very important to me and was a bug factor in me going ahead with the purchase. Sarah is fantastic!

Kia has already produced some tremendous all-electric cars.
The sporty EV6 compact crossover won European Car of the Year in 2022, while the small SUV, the Niro EV, is an excellent all-rounder too.
Add that to Kia maintaining its long-standing generous warranty offering on its electric range, and there are few reasons not to drive one.
The Soul is the next car to get the electrification treatment.
Now on to its third generation – and the second iteration of an electric version – the Soul has forged a reputation as a decent family car with a lot to offer.
Although the EV6 was built from the ground up as an electric car, the Soul, like the Niro, is a ‘conversion’ – a vehicle that once offered a combustion engine ditching the fossil fuels and going it alone with batteries.
And, if Kia’s track record so far is anything to go by, the latest Soul EV should be excellent, too.
