Kia Soul nameplate registered. Is the tallboy hatchback coming to India?

Kia has filed for the registration of 'Soul' nameplate in India. For the record, Soul is quite a popular car in the international market. However, it is yet not clear if the South Korean carmaker will launch the tallboy hatchback in India or if the name is being registered just to block others from using it in the future.

In terms of dimensions, the car measures 4,195mm in length, 1,800mm in width and 1,605mm in height. The hatchback has a wheelbase of 2,600mm. For the uninitiated, the Soul EV shares a very similar footprint as the Hyundai Kona Electric.

The ICE-powered Soul gets a choice of two engine options - 2.0-litre naturally aspirated unit and a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol. The fully electric version of the car gets a choice of two battery pack sizes – 64kWh (long-range) and 39.2kWh (standard range).

While the larger battery pack comes mated to a more powerful 201hp electric motor, the standard ranged model features a 136hp unit.
