We tested the Kia pro_cee’d diesel engine 1.6 liter 115 hp. We have also driven the cee’d Diesel 140 hp and 122 hp gasoline (more information).

Stands out for its dynamic qualities better than usual, at the height of the model as a Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. It is stable and has a certain agility of reactions and a touch of pleasant driving. Despite their appearance, we appreciated having different reactions to the cee’d hatchback. That is, the pro_cee’d is an alternative for your body style, not its dynamic qualities.

It’s a comfortable car, because the standard suspension absorbs bumps well and road irregularities. It has a hard fucking adjustment without penalizing the ease of operation, contains the body properly so you do not have excessive big movements.

It is comfortable but does not reach the level of comfort of a Citroen C4. Although more comfortable compared to the pro_cee’d, the C4 is less agile and feels driving less “sporty.”

The 115 hp diesel version gives a very good result. It has a smooth engine with enough force at low RPM. This version is very nice to drive in all circumstances, does well in town (it goes well from a standstill) and road (because it gives a good reserve of acceleration).

The Korean brand Kia is one of those firms rather restless. In a time now renewing its product range has been almost a constant and has already put his hand to his model city, the Kia Picanto, also available to renew due to the model next in line speak more specifically of the Kia Rio
Some time ago we had the opportunity to eavesdrop as God commands the sedan, but now a new unit has been captured by spy photographers turning to some place in Germany. In this case the photo shows a first approximation to the 5-door version of Kia Rio
The good news is that despite the model being tested with an abundant amount of camouflage, its forms and some of its features can guess almost no drawbacks.

The renewal of the model will be marked as first glance, apart from the specific details, we note that the dimensions (all) have grown substantially. There are early news of the new generation model. The interior space will be increased obviously and earn enough in comfort and roominess in the new Kia Rio that are testing the car and also give an extra feeling of greater amplitude because their windows are lower than in earlier today.
