This is the first of (likely) many special edition models Kia has in store for the 2014 Soul. Called “Red Zone”, it is said to be inspired by the Track’ster Concept and will be built in a limited series of 2,000 units.
Unlike the Track’ster Concept however, the Red Zone Soul is a five-door model based on the Soul Plus, which features a white exterior paint with sporty red accents and unique interior trim.
The model features a more unique exterior look than the regular model thanks to an aggressively styled body kit with red accents throughout, including treatment on the front grille, front and rear fascias, and side skirts.
Riding on custom 18-inch alloy wheels, the Red Zone Soul looks more muscular than the base model. Motivation comes from a 164 horsepower 2.0-liter gasoline direct injected four-cylinder engine, the most powerful unit available on the 2014 Soul.
On the inside, the special edition Soul features black cloth seats with red stitching, leather steering wheel, black-leather dash hood with red stitching, black carpeted floor mats with red piping, and sport pedals. The Red Zone theme of the exterior is continued in the cabin with the red-painted shift knob ring, air vent ring, dash speakers and console tray trim.
The 2014 Kia Soul Red Zone will arrive in U.S. dealerships in the first quarter next year.
