Kia unveils all new high-performance Ceed GT

The original cee'd GT and pro_cee'd GT were launched in 2013, representing the first ever performance hatchbacks from a Korean brand. The Ceed GT picks up where its predecessors left off, with an assured, engaging drive and a powerful 1.6-litre turbocharged engine producing 201bhp and 265Nm of torque, as well as a comprehensive range of comfort, safety and convenience technologies.

For the first time in a performance hatchback from Kia, the Ceed GT will be available with an optional seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, in addition to the standard six-speed manual gearbox.

Emilio Herrera, Chief Operating Officer for Kia Motors Europe, comments, "The all new Ceed GT occupies a unique position in the mid-size family car segment, and doesn't simply chase the highest top speed or fastest straight-line acceleration. It offers greater agility and grip on winding roads, maximum confidence and comfort at a cruise, and fast-revving turbocharged power perfectly matched to European tastes."
