Few people know that RED Line is not just a fashionable prefix that embodies the piquant red notes in the car decor, but a whole abbreviation -. Yes, we are not talking about another version of a high hatchback or a small crossover (underline the necessary), but about an exclusive edition exclusively for russian market... In other words, if you want to stand out in the stream: get it - sign.

It must be admitted that the KIA Soul is already enviable in our country, with a vengeance in favor of Japanese and leaving no chance for French at all. First of all, the "Korean" beats with a price that is very skillfully combined with the quality of workmanship and modern trends in the automotive industry. It seems that with the advent of the new "red" series, the demand for "small fry" will grow even more. And that's why.

Well, who do we have today, besides taxi drivers and Maxim Galkin, buys cars in basic trim levels? Cabbies take the most cheap car in leasing, so that, having recaptured it in a couple of years, we can acquire another one in our homeland - a fresh and standard Nexia. And in the case of Alla Borisovna's subordinate (in some sense, for sure), we are talking about an exhaustive set of wealth, which Bentley is stuffed with by default. Therefore, the correct answer is nobody!

Give our brother pills for greed, but more, more! In other words, lure with delicious cheesecake buns at a sweet price. Yes, and on credit people have an extra hundred thousand for another hype gadget. Koreans, as market leaders, know these subtleties like no other. Even if in a number of situations they have to dump quite severely in order to stimulate not only demand, but also their own G points.

The aesthetics of the KIA Soul RED Line owe a special styling package that includes spectacular body linings, a decorative radiator grille, moldings, and wheel disks made of light alloy of 18th diameter.

The car, highlighted by the "red line", has roof rails, an original plastic body kit and LED optics.

To get into the salon, you don't need to take the key out of your pocket or bag - you just need to touch the handle and the door will open. You don't need a key even when starting the engine: if you press the button, the engine will start. Well, that's all !

Inside - fashionable "sporty" contrasting stitching, branded rugs and thresholds. The decoration in Soul has never been rejected - the interior is uncommon and cozy. Convenience to the driver is added by intelligent cruise control with a limiter and rear parking sensors. For beeping sensors inexperienced "steering" surely will thank the car more than once.

However, as well as for a 2-liter gasoline engine with 150 "stallions" jumping out from under the hood.
