Kia Trail''ster Concept''s Outlook

Can Kia Soul be capable of off-road?

The Korean producer is trying its Trail’ster concept at the 2015 Auto Show in Chicago ans is ading 2.5 inches of ground clearance to the compact and quadratic vehicle. There are protective aluminium skid plates under the body. Priirelli Winter Carving tyres help four-wheel drive Soul to drive on mud and snow easily.

A 1.6-litre turbo V4 powertrain producing 185 hp and rtorque of 185 lb-ft sends power to the front wheels. An electric motor powers rear wheels under acceleration and adds regenerative capabilities to the brakes at the same time. When combined, they provide 220 hp and torque of 285 lb-ft for the hybrid. The Kia Trail’sterconcept has a retractable cloth panel on its top. It offers several features of a convertible.
