Kia unveiled the first picture of the all-new Cee’d hatchback today ahead of its official debut at 2012 Geneva Motor Show.

Kia says the styling of this five-door hatch is inspired by the sporty coupes. Some of the highlights of the exterior include the signature grille, fancy new headlights, wheels from the current Cerato, and very cool foglamp bezels, plus chrome framed windows and muscular lines on the bonnet.

The next Cerato (Forte) sedan and Koup will also be getting a similar design. That’s good, the car looks kinda cute.

The new Cee’d also gets a new ergonomic, driver oriented dashboard. Kia says the quality of used materials is enhanced and the whole interior is much more refined.

New cee’d will be available across Europe from the second quarter of 2012 with UK deliveries expected to start from June. More on the car closer to Geneva show.
