Kia has released further details and new images of its new subcompact crossover prior to the vehicle’s global debut that’s set to take place in 
A smaller capacity 1.6-litre gasoline engine will be offered in most countries, alongside a 1.6-litre turbo diesel engine featuring a VGT (variable geometry turbocharger). Kia says that both 1.6-liter engines are based on the same units used in the European market Cee’d, meaning that the gasoline engine should deliver around 122Hp and the diesel approximately 115Hp. -Continued
The Soul that will be available exclusively as a five-door hatchback with front-wheel drive, has an overall length of 4,105 mm (161-in.), and a 2,550 mm (100.4-in.) wheelbase. Height is at 1,610 mm (64-in.) and width at 1,785mm (70.3-in.) (excluding door mirrors), meaning that overall, the Soul is a tad smaller than the Scion xB or for European buyers, its roughly the same size as the Nissan Note.

Interesting design, but I be more inclined to wait for the Nissan Cube or at the very least the Suzuki Sx4 hatchback.
Wow!!
What a nice COPYING of Scion xB!!
Nice COPYING job, koreans!!
Way to GO!!!
COPYING No. 1!!!
Copying? Because it's a box design with 4 doors, makes it a Scion XB? From these photos, it looks more rakish, and details are different. I suppose everyone who makes a compact 4 door sport sedan is copying BMW? Or all mini vans copied Chrysler because they are boxy with sliding rear doors? Get over it, with variety, comes competition, which keeps prices down, quality up, and everyone from driving the same cars.
While looking a lot like the Scion, i believe this car will make some waves. Let's remember that Hyundai-Kia reached top 5 car manufacturers world-wide with a really quick climb in this top. Their development is interesting to watch further.
Shame about the poor quality. Never buy Kia cars they are useless.
Kia cars were useless when you could last afford them. Kia's and Hyundai's are rated more reliable than their Toyota competition.
But you are probably driving a 97 Sephia
+1000 Gurs.
Sorento and Sportage are very reliable.
But as not a 4x4, is there a category for this Soul?
Still think it's ugly
