What it Looks Like

If Kia preserves the Soul Concept's stylish lines, people will buy the production model. Highlights on the concept are its wraparound windshield, rakish roofline, muscular wheel flares, and bold lighting elements. More an urban vehicle than a trail runner, despite integrated front and rear brush guards, the Soul is a good looking SUV. Normally, we're not fans of the side vents that are appearing on everything from the Ford Focus to the Land Rover Range Rover, but the one on the Soul Concept is well done. The Soul Concept's “freestyle” pillarless doors aren't likely to make production, but the panoramic sunroof is just what careless, er, carefree youth crave.
