Official imagery of the third addition to Kia’s Cee’d family of compact cars, the new Pro_cee’d three-door hatchback, has hit the web in advance of the car’s scheduled world debut at the Paris Motor Show at the end of September.
The Pro_cee’d follows the introduction of the five-door hatchback and the Sportswagon estate and is anticipated to hit European showroom floors in the first half of 2013.
The new model isn’t simply a three-door version of the regular Cee’d as it sports a different design from the A-pillars and back including a more rakish roofline, heavily pronounced rear fenders, together with new lights and tailgate. In addition, there are new fog lamp surrounds and chrome strips that connect the grille to the lights up front.
On the other hand and aside from the differences in space, the interior revisions seem to be limited to the trim décor of the dashboard and door panels.
We don’t have anything yet on the available powertrains, but it is most likely that the Pro_cee’d’s engine lineup will mirror that of the Cee’d with 1.4-liter and 1.6-liter gasoline and diesel units.
