KIA pro Ceed

Choice of three gasoline engines

Kia pro_cee’d customers will also be able to order their car with one of three class-competitive 16-valve gasoline engines (1.4, 1.6 and 2.0-litres) – all fitted with performance-boosting upgraded electronic multi-point fuel injection and continuously variable valve timing (CVVT). All three engines are supplied with a five-speed manual transmission as standard.

The 1.4-litre engine generates a maximum power output of 109 ps (80.2 kW), while the 1.6-litre unit produces 122 ps (89.7 kW). For the ultimate gasoline pro_cee’d performance, Kia’s compact DOHC 1975 cc gasoline engine creates a maximum of 143 ps (105.2 kW).

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.
