First official image of the upcoming Kia Soulster concept car has leaked to the web just a few hours ago, making it’s early public unveiling ahead of Detroit auto show.
With it’s pick-up-like styling, large 5-spoke alloy wheels and LED technology equipped headlamps, the Soulster sure does look attractive. To be honest it’s hotter than any Soul concept we have seen by now, and there were five of them!
Since Kia has released a few Souslter teaser shots prior to it’s unofficial unveiling, we have been expecting to see a cool looking two-door concept car. Now it’s here, and it fully lives up to our expectations. If Kia has the nuts, it should bring it to the market as soon as possible. I bet it would sell like crazy!
The Soulster will be making it’s official auto show unveiling within two days, so stay tuned to get the official press release and a series of exciting Kia Soulster images.
Thank you for the tip CaptMal!

If they equipped the Soulster with a REAL 4×4 system (not the 4wd system in the current Sportage) then Kia could have another hit on their Korean hands!

i love it. 4WD it and send it on its way. it could be the new sportage convertible.

Perfect decision by Kia! I would love to see this in production and running on the roads [with some realistic wheels; these are huge!!!]. speaking of LEDs, audi has made the first car in the world to have ONLY LEDs for every type of lighting in their R8.

cool! i love it!

This pickup is so awesome. 4WD would be nice, but I wouldn’t absolutely have to have it with this baby. Build it Kia!

It’s very cool, and Kia could sell lots of them here in the states. But is there any room in back? I would consider it myself, but I need room for my dogs, groceries, camping gear etc.

guys its not a pick-up. its sort of a wrangler or 2nd gen sportage soft top.
January 11th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
Yeah, but, there must be some kind of faux-bed back there, right? With a titch of payload capability? No?

Boris is right, it isn’t a pickup. You can also see rear seats, so it leads me to believe it is like a Wrangler in that respect.

Oop-how could I have missed the seats back there? Yep, it’s like a Subaru Brat, only 500 times nicer!

I owned a Suzuki SX-90 and the Soulster is the first vehicle I have seen that I liked since ! Yep, you are right Bryan – it is like the Subaru Brat only 1,000,000 times nicer
Thanks Kia
