The five-door hatchback version (pictured above) of Kia’s second generation Cee’d model won’t be standing alone at the South Korean firm’s Geneva Motor Show booth next week, Carscoop has learned.
According to our sources, Kia will also host the world premiere of the estate version featuring an elongated rear end that will further increase its boot capacity offering an additional advantage over the hatch.
Both the hatchback and the station wagon variants of the 2012 Cee’d ride on the same 2,650mm long wheelbase and will be offered with up to five diesel and gasoline engines with improved fuel economy and CO2 figures.
In Europe, the Cee’d range competes in the mainstream section of the highly popular C-segment with rivals such as the Opel Astra and the Peugeot 308.
Stay tuned for more news on the Geneva Motor show on Carscoop.
