Carscoops photographers have caught the 2018 Kia Cee'd on
multiple occasions and now we're getting our first glimpse at the Sportswagon
variant.
Previewed by the Procee'd concept, the production
model is heavily camouflaged but we can see it will have a tiger nose grille
that is flanked by new headlights with integrated daytime running lights. The
wagon also has chrome trim, roof rails, and what appears to be a panoramic
glass roof.
The interior will likely echo the standard model so
we can expect to find a relatively straightforward cabin with a trick-rimmed
steering wheel, metallic accents, and an infotainment system. However, the
Sportwagon variant will have a more accommodating interior with additional
luggage space.
Engine options remain unconfirmed but choices are
expected to mimic the Hyundai i30. As a result, petrol options may include a
turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder with 120 PS and 171 Nm of torque as well as a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder with 140 PS and 242 Nm of torque. On the diesel side, there could be a
1.6-liter engine with outputs of 110 PS and 136 PS.
The Kia Cee'd is expected to debut at the Geneva
Motor Show and reports have suggested the Cee'd Sportswagon could debut at the
same time.
