2019 Kia Proceed GT Experience https://goo.gl/WXwqr9

In our eyes it looks pretty good, with a clear nod to the CLA, although at the rear there’s a hint of Porsche Panamera if you squint hard. There are even a few interesting design details, such as the Porsche-like four ‘ice cube’ LED daytime running lights and metal-effect shark’s blade on the rear quarter glass carried over from the dramatic 2017 Proceed Concept. It’s just a shame then that the concept car’s large wheels haven’t transitioned over, because our car’s 18-inch alloys look a little lost within the body – but that’s the only real gripe.
When it arrives in January the ProCeed is expected to come in three flavours of GT-Line, GT-Line S and GT – and our exclusive first drive was in a pre-production version of the range-topping model. Aggressive front and rear bumpers with dual exhausts, a black honeycomb grille with red inserts, red brake calipers and flashes of red along the sills give the GT a really sporting look, but even the entry-level GT-Line should get 17-inch alloys, those ice cube day-running lights, a rear spoiler and privacy glass. Prices should kick off from just under £24,000 rising to just over £28,000, making it pretty good value.

There are three engines – a 138bhp 1.4-litre turbo petrol with a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, a 1.6-litre diesel with 134bhp and both transmissions, and a 1.6-litre turbo with 201bhp. The most potent unit is likely to be limited to GT and will probably only come with an auto in the UK.
