kia pro ceed diesel

Highly responsive, low consumption diesel

One of the most popular engine choices for pro_cee’d buyers is expected to be the all-new 1.6-litre CRDi 16-valve diesel engine made in Slovakia. This modern DOHC unit features an electrically actuated variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) to ensure lively performance and clean emissions. Its power and torque figures are highly competitive – 115 ps (84.6 kW) and 255 Nm. This engine is mated to a five-speed manual transmission as standard with a four-speed automatic available as an option (depending on market).

Diesel pro_cee’d customers demanding higher performance can specify Kia’s Korean-built 2.0-litre CRDi diesel engine. This SOHC 16-valve CRDi unit also features second-generation common-rail technology, plus a VGT to generate 140 ps (103 kW) and 305 Nm of torque. This engine comes with a single transmission choice; a fuel-stretching high top ratio six-speed manual as standard.

As with other cee’d models, a ‘lower-power’ version of both diesel engines will be offered in some markets for local taxation reasons. The low 1.6 produces 90 ps (66.2 kW), while the low 2.0 gives 135 ps (99.3 kW) of power.
