Kia is to upgrade its Ceed hatchback with additional spec and a minor facelift.
Improvements include Kia's all-new three-cylinder 1.0-litre ecoTurbo engine, as well as a range of new safety, comfort and convenience upgrades. The changes apply to every model in the cee'd range, which now incorporates the five-door cee'd hatchback, Sportswagon and three-door pro_cee'd.
The modifications applied to the cee'd range also include a range of visual and dynamic improvements to the high-powered cee'd GT and pro_cee'd GT models.
The upgraded model will come with a new ‘GT Line' specification, available on all three cee'd body types.
Facelift updates include new bumper shapes, LED rear lights and a new range of alloys.
The new 1.0-litre engine produces 98bhp and 172 Nm torque, while the higher powered version produces 118bhp and the same 172 Nm torque.
The 1.6-litre CRDi diesel engine has also been upgraded, with the lower powered 110 ps version available across both the standard cee'd and new GT Line range. CO2 emissions fall to 102g/km, or 94g/km when fitted with Kia ISG (Idle Stop/Go).
A new automatic gearbox brings emissions down to 109g/km from 145g/km when paired with the 1.6-litre diesel.
The upgraded cee'd also features Kia's latest audio-visual navigation (AVN) system for a more modern appearance on the cee'd's 7.0-inch central fascia display. The AVN system also supports the addition of DAB digital radio.
A new addition to the cee'd is a wide range of multimedia information services, Kia Connected Services. Provided by TomTom, the new connectivity features include live traffic updates, speed camera locations and alerts, local search and weather forecasts.
