The Pro_Cee'd GT uses a variant of the T-GDi Gamma engine. It is also the first Kia sold in the UK with a turbo-charged petrol engine. It would act as a halo model for the rest of the range. The Pro_Cee'd GT is the company's first performance oriented car and the first European style " hot hatch" from a Korean manufacturer. Kia released the Pro_Cee'd GT in July 2013, while the 5-door Cee'd GT was released January 2014. The claimed boot space is 534 dm³ with the rear seats unfolded and 1664 dm³ with the seats folded down. It is the only version that features the 2.0-litre CRDi engine. The Cee'd Sportswagon is the station wagon of the Cee'd. The official pictures of the production version were released in July 2007. Apart from the 3-door hatchback body, the car is given a lower stance compared to the original 5-door Cee'd as it is 5 cm lower and 5 cm longer. The concept car was showcased for first time at the Paris Motor Show in 2006. The Pro_cee'd is the sports version of the Kia Cee'd, with a 3-door body and a new rear-end design. Īpproximately 646,300 units of the first-generation Cee'd were produced. While the five-door and the station wagon were given an updated front and rear design, including the Kia's new corporate grille called the Tiger Nose, technical revisions and minor changes in the interior, the three-door version exterior was not updated. In September 2009, the facelifted model was unveiled at the 63rd Frankfurt Motor Show. Upon release on the market, the warranty is one of the most extensive and longest in Europe with seven years or 150,000 km for the powertrain and five years for the entire vehicle. All versions have six airbags as standard, active front headrests, height-adjustable headrests, pretensioners, ESP, electronic traction control, ABS, EBD, BA, and a reinforced structure of the cabin. The flagship TX trim was equipped with semi leather seats, Michelin 225/45 tires with 17 inch alloy wheels and rear parking sensors. There were three trim levels available: LX, EX, TX.

The first generation was available with a choice of four engines (two petrol and two diesel), five trim levels and either manual or automatic transmission. The cee'd is developed on the same platform as the Hyundai i30. The Cee'd was designed in Frankfurt, Germany, with Miklós Kovács leading the design team, while the concept car was designed by Pontus Fontaeus. The Ceed replaced the Cerato which had little success in Europe, and is positioned between the Rio supermini ( B-segment) and the Optima mid-size car ( D-segment). The model has been manufactured at the Kia Motors Slovakia assembly plant in Žilina since October 2006. The initials now mean "Community of Europe, with European Design". Since 2018, the Ceed name does not include an apostrophe. Realizing that "CEEED" had too many ‘E's, they replaced the last 'E' with an apostrophe, with 'Cee'd' being the end result. To mark the occasion, Kia took the initials of the European Economic Community, EEC or CEE in several languages and added ED for European Design. It is the first Kia vehicle to be designed entirely in Europe and tailored to European customers. In September 2019, Kia also unveiled the XCeed, a crossover SUV based on the third generation Ceed. At the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, Kia presented the third generation Ceed. The second generation of the cee'd was presented at the Geneva Motor Show 2012. In mid-2007, the station wagon version called the cee'd_sw was launched followed by the three-door pro_cee'd in early 2008.
The Ceed was first unveiled in 28 September 2006 at the Paris Motor Show. The Kia Ceed (known as the Kia cee'd before 2018) is a compact car produced by the South Korean manufacturer Kia since 2006 exclusively for the European market.
