Here’s a new spy shot of the Kia Soul caught testing without any camouflaging. The photo by Brenda Priddy & CO. shows that the little Soul should keep close to the previews when the cars debuts this October at the Paris Motor Show.

A 1.6-liter engine in both gas and diesel forms will power this replacement for the Rio 5. Both power units are based closely on the 16-valve DOHC engines fitted to the acclaimed European-built, Kia cee´d. The car should be available in the U.S. by April of next year.
