Kia has launched a revised three-door Pro_ceed hatchback, while at the same time announcing a new range-topping trim for the model.
The three-door hatch receives the same nose as the regular Cee'd five-door and SW estate, while the interior is unchanged.
However, Kia has also unveiled a new range-topping Pro_ceed, called the 4 and sitting above the 2 and 3 already offered.
The Pro_ceed 4 comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, privacy glass and black-bezel headlights, giving it a sporty exterior look.
Inside there's full leather trim along with an integrated sat-nav, heated front seats, cruise control and a multi-function steering wheel.
The Pro_ceed 4 gets a revised 1.6-litre diesel engine that now puts out 126bhp - that's 13bhp more than before. The result of this extra urge is a top speed of 122mph with a 0-62mph time of just over 10 seconds.
Available to order now, the Pro_ceed 4 costs £18,495 and comes with Kia's standard seven-year or 100,000-mile warranty.
