Kia wants to keep us on our toes about its new concept study for the 2015 Chicago Auto Show that opens for the media on February 12.

All they’ve given us is a carefully cropped photo of their unnamed concept along with select details such as that it will be an “advanced and capable electric all-wheel drive (e-AWD)” model conceived by Kia’s California design studio and “built for city dwellers seeking the ultimate urban escape”.

To put it in simple words, it’s a battery-powered sub-compact crossover with an electric drive for all-four wheels. It not only sounds, but it also look like something based on the Soul with a revised front end and more rugged plastic body cladding, but we’ll know for sure in the coming days.
