Kia’s all-European cee’d family has become the first range to be fitted with the company’s advanced new powertrains, which claims to bring reductions of up to 25% in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
There are three new turbocharged engines – two petrol units and one diesel – plus a seven-speed double-clutch automatic transmission for use in conjunction with the new diesel.
They form part of a simultaneous upgrade of all three cee’d body styles – the five-door cee’d, three-door pro_cee’d and cee’d Sportswagon.
First deliveries will be arriving in UK dealerships on October 1 with prices for the revised models with new engines starting at £16,795.
