The all-new 2015 Kia Soul EV has been announced as the winner of the 'Best New City Car' award by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). Kia Canada was presented with the award as part of the Canadian Car of the Year Awards program.

The Soul EV faced tough competition throughout AJAC's week-long comprehensive testing period, known as TestFest, which took place in October in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

TestFest judging involves 'real world' driving on public roads – where consumers drive – so that the test data and vote results are directly relevant to potential car buyers. The results are based on scores given by 73 automotive journalists to ensure fair and objective comparisons
