Kia Motors America unveiled four all-new customised vehicles at the opening day of the 2016 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show. Envisioning a future when vehicles will not only drive autonomously but be tailor-built to our lifestyles, each concept sparks the imagination of what could be just around the corner.
One of the custom foursome is the Soul First Class, an upscale inter-city chariot that lets business travellers work and relax as they journey to out-of-town meetings and destinations.
This autonomous-driving custom-built creation from LUX Motorwerks, with its rear-facing seats, absence of steering wheel and wide array of luxury enhancements, is about optimising work and rest amid the hectic schedule in one’s professional life.
Eliminating the need for a driver, the Soul First Class has a revamped front dashboard which now houses two rear-facing front seats. The Soul’s passengers are greeted by a 40-inch Samsung LED TV connected to a Mac mini computer system and premium audio speakers throughout. A custom motorised centre console reveals two tablets, which control this futuristic Kia.
To match the state-of-the-art infotainment system is business-class comfort provided by white and grey leather with diamond stitching throughout the cabin, and modern grey wood flooring to match.
The Soul’s exterior conveys the same level of luxury as the interior, with PPG Lux Blue paint and modified upper and lower grilles with LED lighting. The 19-inch Rotiform Monoblock CCV wheels bring a modern vibe to the car’s style.
