Kia is proceeding with its Pro_Ceed model in the UK market and offers a new edition called ‘4’ with even more luxury and a new diesel engine.

I wasn’t that long ago since they introduced the the pro_ceed 3, but they’re now offering the 4 which is better than that. And while it’s great news for the new buyers, it will leave the people who bought the 3 a bit cold because if they’d waited a bit longer they could get more for their money!

Anyhow, the new model features Kia’s famous front grille designed by Peter Schreyer immortalized on cars like the Forte Koup, and is powered by a higher output 1.6-litre diesel engine producing 126bhp whcih does 0 to 60 mph in 10 seconds and can reach of 122 mph.

Some of the unique visual feature on the ‘4’ include 17-inch alloy wheels and black bezel headlights and privacy glass, while on the inside you get full black leather upholstery combined with front heated seats and a leather trimmed steering wheel to add a luxurious feel.  Cruise control is fitted as standard with controls on the steering wheel for driver convenience. What’s more the car is fitted with a fully integrated Sat-Nav system with a seven inch full colour touch screen system, from which you can also operate the Bluetooth and reversing camera system.

Pricing for the Kia Pro_Ceed 4 Facelift is set at £18,495 and it comes with Kia’s industry leading seven year, 100,000 miles, fully transferable manufacturers warranty.
