For The Procee'd is a good-value range, and this is the cheapest model in it. Plus, the smooth engine feels stronger than its output suggests.

Against Buyers who want to keep their running costs down may be tempted by one of the more frugal diesel models. And, you need to stretch to the next trim up to get alloys.

Kia Procee'd Hatchback

What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

Being the cheapest mainstream model in the range is just the start of this model’s appeal. It’s also got a fine engine and decent kit, so there's little wonder it’s our favourite version.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

Effectively, the Kia Procee'd is the three-door version of the five-door Cee'd – sharper to look at and to drive, but a little less roomy and not as practical; the ride can be a little on the firm side for some tastes, too.

The mainstream range starts with a 1.4-litre petrol engine that's available only with the most basic trim. It's our favourite, too, because it's impressivelt flexible for a small engine. The rest of the range, however, uses a 1.6-litre engine, either a petrol unit or a diesel that comes with two power outputs. For us, the more powerful of these two CRDi diesels is the pick of the bunch.

Stick to 2 trim, as it strikes the best balance between cost, kit and performance. The seven-year warranty is thoroughly attractive, but for it to remain valid, the car has to undergo an annual inspection - and you may well have to pay for that. Euro NCAP haven't tested the Procee'd as such, but the Cee'd scored a maximum five-star rating, which is reassuring.
