Kia Proceed

Kia has £inally stripped its family car range of unnecessary punctuation and transformed the Pro_Ceed three-door hatch into this svelte Proceed shooting brake. It’s meant to be a more stylish alternative to a regular Ceed estate and, as such, is only available in Kia’s top-end GT Line or the new warm GT speci£ication. Three petrols and a diesel will be available, with the GT coming with 201bhp (is that even classed as warm these days?), a seven-speed DCT, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres and sti¡er springs. Despite the roo£line, Kia says the Proceed has 50 per cent more rear space. If it drives as well as the regular hatch, sign us up.
