2022 Kia Proceed Spied With A Bolder Grille

The Kia ProCeed was launched less than three years ago, but the company is already cooking up a minor facelift.

Spied undergoing testing in Europe, the updated shooting brake has a more prominent grille with a thicker surround. It’s flanked by new headlights that have repositioned LED daytime running lights.

Additional details are hard to make out, but we can see an evolutionary front bumper and a revised central intake. The latter features red accents, which are a hallmark of the GT variant.

Moving further back, we can see stylish alloy wheels with Kia’s new logo. The model also appears to have a lightly revised rear end, which looks a bit more streamlined.

Spy photographers didn’t get close enough to snap interior pictures, but changes will likely be minor. Of course, that remains to be seen and the cabin is starting to feel a little dated.

Little else is known about the model at this point, but it will likely have a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with mild hybrid technology. It produces 158 hp (118 kW / 160 PS) and 187 lb-ft (253 Nm) of torque.

Likewise, the ProCeed GT could have a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine developing 201 hp (150 kW / 204 PS) and 195 lb-ft (265 Nm) of torque.

While nothing is official, the 2022 Kia ProCeed could be introduced later this year or early next year.
