We were the first to show you the interior of the KIA Soul test car. Now finally Kia has released official images of the Soul interior.

The pictures that our spy photographer got gave almost as much information. Kia has not revealed what will we find in the dash. In addition to the new images Kia also revealed engine details and how much real space Soul has.

Kia Soul urban crossover passenger car will go on sale in Europe next February with a choice of diesel and gasoline engines – manual or automatic transmissions, depending on model.

The two highly efficient 126 ps 1.6-litre, 16-valve, four cylinder petrol and diesel powerunits are based closely on the DOHC engines already fitted to the hugely successful, European-built, Kia cee’d. The diesel engine generates 126 ps at 4,000 rpm and maximum torque of 255 Nm at 2,000 rpm. The all-aluminium gasoline engine also produces 126 ps at 6,300 rpm and 156 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm.

Soul is a five-door hatchback with front-wheel drive, a high roofline and an unusually long wheelbase. The key dimensions behind the it’s striking appearance are vertical measurements. Overall height is 1,610 mm (63 inches), the base of the windscreen is 135 mm (5,3 inches) higher than a typical compact car, the hip-points are 120 mm (4,7 inches( higher and the ground clearance is raised by 45 mm (1,8 inches).

Access to the new Kia Soul’s spacious interior is remarkably easy and the cabin will deliver head, leg and shoulder room that matches or beats many larger vehicles. Generous headroom (1020/1005 mm front/rear) (40/39,5 inches), legroom (1070/990 mm front/rear) (42/39 inches) and shoulder room (1403/1400 mm front/rear) (55/55,1 inches) will ensure that Soul can accommodate five large adults in genuine comfort.
