Spy pictures come out normally at least one and a half year ahead of
vehicle debut. But this time it was a long wait to see first spy
pictures of new Kia Soul (It is expected to debut next year).
Not much information about Soul is avaliable right now. But we know
that this is the Kia's answer to Scion line up. This vehicle will go
head to head with Scion latest arrival, Xb car when it comes to the
market next year.
It was first introduced in 2005 at New York auto show and got good
response from visitors. Recent Scion sales success forced Kia to
develope their own youth oriented vehicle. And here it is, a bit
toned down, with smaller size wheels, but otherwise very modern
design. One thing we noticed first, it lost the suicide doors.
It will be sold in US and Europe, that's why we expect more than just
one engine choice. The concept car shown a few years ago had a 2
litre petrol engine mated to a five speed automatic transmission. In
Europe, a modern common rail diesel engine will be available too!
