New Procee'd has a sportier look than the previous incarnation
It benefits from the standard Cee'd's new, upmarket interior
A 1.6-litre turbo is rumoured to be destined for the Procee'd
Procee'd, like the Cee'd, has a multi-link rear suspension setup
A range of 1.4 and 1.6-litre petrol and diesel units will be offered
A six-speed manual will be offered as standard
The Procee'd marks the reinvention of the Cee'd range
The Kia Procee'd looks the part, but does the drive deliver?

Lovely
What a great looking car. Kia really are coming on leaps and bounds.
I do seem to remember Kia saying that they were going to drop the Veloster turbo engine into this, which is going to make this a very desirable car.
hmmm
The previous model reminded me of the previous GTC and I thought it was just a coincidence. The new model is a lot more similar to the new GTC. It seems Kia is thinking Astra when designing their car. Now lets see if it has worthwhile driving dynamics.
I'm disappointed with this.
I'm disappointed with this. The bit of chrome between the headlights and grille looks cheap, and the small glass area at the back makes it look too heavy. Wonder if they got the idea for the stuck on black plastic panel on the back bumper from the Punto Evo?
