The first glimpse of the Kia pro_cee'd GT reveals a hot hatch perfectly aligned with Kia's sportiness and "fun to drive" positioning.
Based on the all new pro_cee'd which had its global debut at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, and will go on sale in Spring next year, Kia's first ever hot hatch is expected to launch in the second half of 2013.
The pro_cee'd GT will feature a 1.6-litre turbocharged GDI engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission.

It is likely that the pro_cee'd GT will have slightly more power, perhaps even 200bhp, than the Hyundai Veloster Turbo, which uses the same engine and has 184bhp.
The Kia pro_cee'd GT will be shown at next year's Geneva motor show before going on sale in the summer.
