Kia teases new ProCeed
Kia has issued a teaser image of the all-new ProCeed ahead of its debut at the Paris Motor Show in October.
Previewed by the Ceed Sportswagon concept at Geneva this spring, the ProCeed will offer estate-like versatility and loadspace, but with sportier styling closer to the Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake.
It will be sold alongside the new Ceed Sportswagon, which is a popular part of the brand’s fleet offer, but replaces the three-door hatchback sold in the last generation car. Kia said the outgoing ProCeed had only accounted for a small share of UK sales.
Engine line-up has not been revealed yet, but the latest-gen Ceed hatch and the Sportswagon both offer 118bhp 1.0-litre and 138bhp 1.4-litre T-GDi turbo petrols – with the latter replacing the previous 1.6-litre on offer in various markets – and a 1.6-litre diesel with either 114 or 134bhp.
The new Proceed will be sold exclusively in Europe.
