New Kia pro_cee'd set for Paris world premiere

Kia will reveal the third instalment of its second-generation cee’d family, the all-new pro_cee’d three-door hatchback, at the Paris Motor Show on 27 September. The car is expected to go on-sale in the UK in spring 2013.

The new pro_cee’d features all the improvements made to the cee’d five-door and cee’d Sportswagon, while progressing the enhanced sporty appearance that made its predecessor so popular.

“This car embodies emotion and energy through and through,” explains Peter Schreyer, Kia’s chief design officer. “You know from a single glance that this is a car you want to drive, not just own. Kia is on a distinctive design adventure and the all new pro-cee’d spearheads this forward looking journey.”
