We are slowly puting together the pieces of Soul puzzle. Every once in a while, we get informations from people who know development secrets Kia is hiding from us.
It was reported before, that the mini crossover is going to be offered with the range of three different engine displacements. Depending on market, there will be 2.0 liter and 1.6 liter, 4 cylinder gasoline and diesel engines offered. While we still don’t know details on either powerplant, we found out what the actual crossover size is.
It will be the smallest crossover vehicle on the market. With the size of only 4,1 meter, this is barley any larger than Kia’s Rio hatchback.
The Soul’s rolling stock will be comprised of 15″, 16″ and 17″ wheels on all corners or top of the line 18″ inchers, making the vehicle stance more musclebound.
Exterior dimensions: Length: 4.105mm , width: 1.785mm , height: 1,610mm, weight: 1,210kg

I never was quite fund of little CUVs ,but this one I actually like. I am really glad that this will look a lot like the concept. I’m glad they are seeing that size doesn’t always matter. It’s quite rare for something to compete with something else that has been out for years and smaller than its rival. I like that because it’s different.
I hope to see teaser shots soon.

Hey Jamayl!
Little CUVs weren’t popular just because of fact that there were no any on the market. But the world is changing fast and the bigger is not better any more, so this is the time when we will be seeing a lot more CUVs coming to the market in the next few years.
I know that there is a lot of interest in Kia Soul already. Therefore I try to collect as many usefull informations and spy shots as I can, to present them to KIA-WORLD blog’s visitors even before it’s launch.
