What's Under the Hood

As expected, the Kia Soul Concept's official specifications are purposely vague. It's got a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine making unknown horsepower and torque driving the front wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission with a manual shift feature. We'd expect a larger displacement engine, a standard manual transmission, and an all-wheel-drive system for production. Kia also says the Soul Concept is equipped with an adaptive cruise control system.
