For This special edition is cheaper than the most basic mainstream model with the same engine, yet still comes with alloy wheels, air-conditioning, Bluetooth and iPod connectivity, as well as some leather trim details and stabilty control.

Against This model is much dearer than the same trim with the 1.4 engine. You get the choice of just four colours, and if you want metallic paint, that costs you extra.

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.
