Kia Soul Production Version Revealed

As well as confirming that the production version of the Soul will retain the same name as the concept, Kia has released the first official photograph of its compact 5-door crossover that will be officially revealed at the Paris Motor Show this fall. The Soul was first seen as a concept at the 2006 North American International Auto Show in Detroit while this past March, Kia revealed a trio of concept developments at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show.

Kia hasn’t released any details on the crossover’s mechanics, but expect it be offered with a variety of small 4-cylinder petrol and in Europe, diesel engines. Production of the Scion-esque Soul will begin in Korea in September 2008 with sales in Europe, the U.S. and other markets expected to start from early 2009.
