Kia press release :
Kia Motors has today released the first pictures of new cee’d, revealing a much improved and updated look including the new ‘family face’ of the brand.
This mid-life change unusually includes sheet metal changes to the bonnet plus alterations to the bumper, grille and light clusters. There have been some enhancements to the interior too in terms of specification and design including a more intuitive centre console and upgraded audio system including Bluetooth connectivity.
Paul Philpott, Managing Director Kia Motors (UK) Limited commented; “Since its launch just over a year and a half ago, cee’d has been instrumental in placing Kia firmly as one of the top five global automakers. With over 5,000 units already sold in the UK so far this year, cee’d is currently holding a four per cent share of the retail market.
“cee’d has been one of the first Kia models customers have bought for emotional rather than practical reasons. Now we have other aspirational cars in the range, such as the new Soul, we are establishing a clear image as a design led brand and, with more new introductions due early next year, Kia offers one of the youngest product ranges available” he added.
New cee’d will be unveiled at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show alongside two all-new Kia models.
