The Kia Soul is a compact car designed at Kia's design center in California, unveiled at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, manufactured in South Korea and marketed globally beginning with model year 2010.
The Soul concept was the brainchild of Mike Torpey, who in early 2005 as a new member of Kia's Design Team in Irvine Californiai, was sent to KIA Korea to brainstorm a new vehicle. He had an inspiration for the design...using a mental visual picture of a powerful Boar with big front shoulders sloping back to its rear legs...and for utility... wearing a back pack! So the KIA Soul was born with a sloping roof line and a "trunk" on the hatchback.
