“Defying categorization and providing utility and practicality, the Soul’ster exhibits distinctive design cues and satisfies multiple consumer needs.”
With a unique face,KIA Soul’ster has a tough but refined character. The side vents, side-mirror turn signals, unique LED headlamps, fog and tail lamps incorporate blue shades.
The energetic, distinctive look carries from front to rear with dual chrome exhaust and polished aluminum exhaust tips featuring carbon-fiber interior sleeves. The large 19-inch, five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels perfect the Soul’ster’s appearance. Regardless of Soul’ster being viewed from front, back or side, it offers innovative perspectives derived from the original Soul
Once inside, Soul’ster takes even more progressive variations from Soul beginning with the new four-passenger seating design, a diversion from Soul’s five-passenger arrangement, lending spacious versatility for long summer weekends. The surprisingly flexible Soul’ster provides real seating for two in the front with comfortable seating for two more adults in the back. Storage compartments below each of the fold-flat rear seats, offer room for myriad cargo needs. With young buyers in mind, Soul’ster offers an agile, smooth and spirited ride. A 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine is mated to a five-speed manual transmission, which produces approximately 120 horsepower.
Other markets might choose the 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine producing 124 horsepower or a 1.6-liter turbodiesel.

A bright spot—a bright orange spot, anyway—at the 2009 North American International Auto Show is this Kia Soul–based concept. Reminding us a lot of Kia’s own Sportage convertible from years ago, the four-seat Soul’ster features a two-piece roof that covers front and rear passengers independently—or can be completely removed—and that is suspended by roof rails capped by small fog lamps. The upswept B-pillar recalls the C-pillar of the four-door Soul, and the open back can yield pickup-like utility if the “cantilevered” rear seats are folded down. Kia goes on to say that the Soul’ster could be sold in other markets with a 124-hp, 1.6-liter gas motor or even a 1.6-liter diesel engine.
Kia was looking to keep young buyers in mind when they came up with the Kia Soul’ster. The Soul’ster is an open-air concept, that features efficient front-wheel drive and is based off of the production model, Kia Soul.
The Kia Soul’ster delivers a new exciting feel to the world of automakers. Bill Jacobs Kia in Joliet, Illinois is Joliet’s number one Kia dealer.
