The interior images released on Thursday showed that the upcoming vehicle has a 10.25-inch wide display, which can be split into different segments to carry out multiple tasks simultaneously, such as searching a map while playing music.

The carmaker said its latest iteration of the multi-purpose vehicle will not only come with better design, but also with new technologies and a host of top-notch features that were not installed on previous models.

Besides the interior, the carmaker showed the profile of the car, with streamlined sheetmetal and much thinner headlamps.

Kia had sold more than 1 million SOULs in the United States, the world's most important automobile market, as of the end of June. The car, which currently includes a pure electric variant, was first launched on global markets in 2008. (Yonhap)
