In this improved second generation post-2015 guise, Kia's pro_cee'd further sharpened its proposition in the affordable coupe segment, with smarter looks, extra technology and the option of clever three cylinder petrol power. A more sharply-orientated top turbo GT flagship variant aimed to snare performance people, but it was the lower-powered pro_cee'd models that made the sales numbers, cars blessed with reasonable running costs, spacious practicality and a very good after sales package. Potentially then, there's a lot to like here.

History
Back in 2008, the smartly-styled pro_cee'd coupe was one of the key cars that changed the public perception of Kia. That original 'ED' version was replaced by a second generation 'JD'-series model in 2012, a design which was then facelifted in 2015 to create the car we're going to evaluate here as a used buy.

What changed with this revised car? Well, humbler petrol models got a freshly developed 1.0-litre three cylinder ecoTurbo engine. The diesel variant gained an efficiently slick-shifting dual-clutch automatic gearbox. And this top GT sporting model got re-tuned suspension and steering for a sportier feel. All of this was garnished with slightly sleeker exterior looks, plus buyers got a minor cabin upgrade that improved the infotainment set-up. This car sold until early 2019, when it was replaced by a third generation ProCeed model that morphed into a five-door 'Fastback' estate.
