We now have a name for the New Kia Soul Concept: The Soul Trail'ster. I think that is very fitting. We also have some extra updates: It will be turbocharged with a full retractable canvas top, rear integrated electric AWD on board, different headlights/foglights, rear reflectors, skid plates front and back, lower black body-cladding all around and I am sure much more inside and out.
What everyone else have forgot to mention is this new Kia Trail'ster Concept will incorporate ideas from the Kia Soul concepts of the Past- Just look close. With Peter Schreyer on the design this should be a hit.
This second teaser pic gives away a lot. The concept still has 4 doors but is highly reworked to give that off-road look & character without being to brawn while remaining the Kia Soul at heart.
Keep em coming Kia. I hope to see at least one more teaser. But for the inside and out debut-Yeah, we have to wait till February 12th. Check out the other past Soul concepts below with #2 The first Kia Soul Off-Road rendering, #3 The Track'ster, #4 The Soul'ster, #5 one of the very first Kia Soul Concepts The Soul Searcher with a retractable canvas top and last the first Soul Concept ever. Enjoy.
