The all-new Kia Cee’d will make its world premiere at the 82nd Geneva International Auto Salon in March but the South Korean automaker wants us to get a better view of its VW Golf rival with the release of another set of photos, which include the very first pictures of its interior.

The car’s overall appearance is in line with Kia’s latest crop of models and especially the Optima sedan. This is even more evident inside with Kia promising a more premium look and feel, higher perceived quality and enhanced driving position ergonomics.

The dashboard layout features a driver-orientated fascia with the main switchgear positioned towards the driver.

Kia has not yet announced precise dimensions but it said that the new Cee’d is longer, wider and lower than its predecessor, while retaining the same wheelbase.

The engine lineup has not been confirmed but given that the Cee’d is a sister model to Hyundai’s new i30, we expect it to be offered with the same 1.4-liter and 1.6-liter diesel and gasoline units at launch in Europe.
