New Kia Cee’d & Procee’d GT Turbo Geneva 2013 debut

Kia will launch the Cee’d & Pro_cee’d GT at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show with a 200bhp Turbo engine and cosmetic tweaks.

We’ve already revealed that Hyundai are planning a turbo version of the i30 3-door (perhaps the Hyundai i30 R?) and Kia are following suit to with go-faster versions of the new Cee’d, new Pro_cee’d and, it appears, even the new Cee’d Sportswagon.

The plan is to kick of with the launch of the Cee’d GT and Pro_cee’d GT at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, with every possibility Kia will also launch a Cee’d Sportswagon GT later in 2013.

As with the i30 R, the usual recipe for a hot hatch will apply. Under the bonnet will be the 1.6 litre Turbo we already see in the Veloster Turbo with up to 200bhp, butch bumpers front and back, go-faster bodykit, tweaked suspension and brakes and a set of big alloys.

It also seems Kia are likely to offer the GT Turbo versions in a range of go-faster colours (think orange, green, white) and give the interior a makeover with Recaro seats and red contrast stitching on the leather.

All of which means it’s highly likely Hyundai will follow suit not just with the 3-door i30 R, but with a 5-door i30 R and an i30 Tourer R too.

As if Europe’s mainstream makers didn’t have enough problems.
