This is the first official image of the handsome new Kia three-door hatchback called Pro-cee’d which will make its World Premiere at this year’s Frankfurt Show on 11th September.
Based closely on the earlier ‘pro_cee’d’ concept shown at the Paris Motor Show in 2006, the new production model has been developed by Kia’s design team in Europe under the direction of Chief Design Officer, Peter Schreyer.
The new car is said to be longer, lower and lighter than the five-door cee’d with the aim of providing a more entertaining drive.
Manufactured in Slovakia, Pro-cee’d will be the third member of the Kia cee’d family, joining the cee’d five-door and the soon to be released cee’d SW models.
Production of the Pro-cee’d model range is scheduled to begin in November with first customer sales during the early months of 2008.
How long before there's a hot hatch version, we wonder...
