A Sketch of the 2005 Kia Mesa Concept The Kia Soul exterior style features a sporty, bold look that builds on design cues from the Kia Mesa concept vehicle introduced at the 2005 NAIAS.

"A wrap-around windshield, muscular wheel flares, stylish front headlamps and a sloped roofline convey an athletic attitude for the Soul, which is geared toward an active lifestyle.

"Though small on the outside, it is big inside with practical interior room and a reconfigurable cargo space. The rear lift gate includes a unique "drawer" for wet or muddy items such as a wetsuit or hiking shoes."
