KIA Soulster Concept Unveiled!




The teaser showing the Soulster Concept from KIA of which we've reported earlier on was leaked ahead of its official unveil. Exactly like what we've predicted, the Soulster is reminiscent of a niche segment rather popular in the 80s and 90s - a 2 door mini SUV that seats 4, and a rear portion that's getting plenty of sunshine and perhaps some mud splatting fun. Superb looking, fun.

Not only that, the Soulster really do shows Kia knows a thing or two about being funky, everything is manual, the gearbox, the windows etc; think of this as those WWII Jeeps without any sort of cover, and just a windscreen where people hop on/off. Cool? Much cooler than exotics.

Let's hope it gets into production.
