The publics and car critics previous conceptions that Kia only make cheap and uninteresting Korean cars has been dispelled with the launch of their Pro Ceed range last year.

The Pro Ceed offers exceptional quality, at very affordable prices. This 3 door hatch is Kia's sporty version of their popular 5 door Ceed. It is slightly longer and lower than the Ceed giving a sleek and streamlined look.

With the longer front doors access to the rear seats is very easy. The Pro Ceed provides plenty of headroom in the front and despite the sloping roof still allows taller people to sit comfortably in the back without brushing their heads on the roof. Rear leg room is also generous for a sporty car. Comfortably seating four, and at a squeeze five, the Pro Ceed offers an un-cramped interior.

The entire Pro Ceed range comes with alloy wheels as standard and useful iPod compatibility, with both USB and AUX sockets, as well as a CD player.

The luggage space is generous for a car in this class. With rear folding seats you would be hard pushed not to get all of your luggage safely stowed away. Kia have also utilised inside storage effectively, there are plenty of accessible storage spaces in all models.

Kia have included two petrol and three diesel engines in their Pro Ceed range. Four models were launched last year, the final diesel model was launched this February.

The Pro Ceed has a smart sporty look with black bezel lamps, body coloured door handles with a trendy metallic trim on the door inlays and console. A range of colours are available, including a very sassy white.

Each model in the range offers good overall road handling with sufficient power for driving in and out of town. With a top speed of over 100mph on all models, far more than the legal driving limits in the UK, the Pro Ceed offers comfort and driving control on smooth or rough road surfaces.

Well built and distinctive styling puts the Pro Ceed into a very favourable position for a car of this class. With an unrivalled 7 year or 100,000 mile warranty the Kia Pro Ceed offers exceptional quality and excellent value for money.

Inside the Pro Ceed is well equipped, nothing too flashy, but all controls are easy to access and operate. Six airbags are fitted as standard on the 1.6 CRDi 3 model, offering safety for both driver and passengers should the car be involved in an accident.

Artificial Intelligence air conditioning has been included to offer complete control for both front and rear seat passengers. Kia also boast that the air conditioning can be directed to the glove box to provide a mini cool box.

With over 58mpg and CO2 (tax) of only 126g/km the Pro Ceed is an economical and ecco-friendly car to run.

If you are looking for a sporty car which is easy to drive and well equipped the Kia Pro Ceed offers fierce competition to its rivals in the same class. Take one for a test drive and judge for yourself the exceptional quality and road handling the Kia Pro Ceed has to offer.
