Details are slim, but Kia says the new concept is aimed at active urbanites and “intended to enable a wide array of outdoor activities from skiing and snowboarding, to camping, hiking and mountain biking.” That tall order suggests it’s an SUV, but the concept’s front end looks very Soul-like. Could an all-wheel-drive Soul be coming to the automaker’s lineup? We’ll know more when the e-AWD concept debuts at the show on Feb. 12.
