Kia showcased three differently styled concept versions of the Kia SOUL, an upcoming production model set to be launched at the Paris Motor Show this year.
The Kia SOUL Diva is aimed at the conscious young-at-heart woman who regards her car as part of her outfit. The Kia SOUL Burner is the “bad boy”, while the Kia SOUL Searcher is meant to project a sense of tranquility within the urban jungle, somewhat like a comfort zone.
“Because this new Kia model is not a replacement for an existing vehicle and will play a unique role within the Kia range it can be a bit of a rebel! The trio of concepts shown at Geneva are ‘appetisers for the Paris introduction. We are making a bold ‘fun statement to highlight ‘the world of possibilities that this new Kia will bring to the marketplace,” said Gregory Guillaume, Chief Designer Kia Motors Europe.
Guillaume led the Kia SOUL Concept trio’s design team, under the guidance of Kia’s Chief Design Office Peter Schreyer. Mr Schreyer is shown above with the concepts.

I like the rear look but front look ugly…
myvi potong bumbung?
3 distort Myvi.
Hitam + merah tetap menjadi pujaan hatiku.
Looks like the love-child of Myvi and Swift….
Omigosh this car is so cool… I love it! It has that cool but wicked feel like the Yaris. Would get one if the price is right
i want that black and red ones
wow, the black + red version is so cool! but the interior is so striking, it hurts my eyes…arrgghhh
i think it should be all black, with some red lining here & there…
will be sold in here ?
one more thing, do u guys agree if a say this car looks like a baseball cap? no,no,no baseball cap is much rounder….ahah, it looks like fidel castro’s army cap!!
I adore the one with the golden trims and rings around.. look at the black leather! Very Diva-ish!
Vibrant concept, very close to youngsters.
take away all those fancy trimmings, the actual car is (to put it mildly) not that good looking.
but i like the idea tho.. fancy gold trimmings. shiny black stickers. grey suedes. a design worth copying – proton & perodua styling dept, take note!
the fancy wheels are quite similar to those in NFS Carbon……
Correct, actual car does not look good. Also looks a lot like copied the mini and transplant it there
too radical for me
Yee…. i dont think GOOD!!!….
nice theme but personally dont like the exterior
When does kia bring this car’s to Malaysia is more cool than Myvi, i will be the 1st customer.
this is what i want as a graduation gift now!!!! =D
When is it coming??
