The top-spec petrol can do 0-60mph in 7.2 seconds and can get to 140mph. Buyers have the choice of either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic – the Proceed GT is available only with the automatic transmission.

Dimensions on the new Proceed have increased compared to the Ceed Sportswagon. The Proceed is 5mm longer and 43mm lower, with 5mm less ground clearance. The wheelbase, however, remains the same. Boot space has been lost compared to the Ceed Sportswagon, now standing at 594 litres compared to 625 litres.

At launch, the Proceed will be available in a variety of seven paint options as well as featuring Kia’s eight-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system, while the dashboard is angled towards the driver to give a sportier driving experience.

Prices start at £23,835 for entry-level GT-Line and rise to £28,685 for the GT-Line S with the dual-clutch gearbox. The top-of-the-range GT starts at £28,135.
