Detailed analysis of the KIA pro_cee'd 1.6 CRDi 90 CV Concept (2008)
General description
The 2008 KIA pro_cee'd 1.6 CRDi 90 CV Concept is the Korean brand's proposal for those looking for a three-door compact with a youthful touch and an efficient diesel engine. This model is presented as a balanced option, offering an attractive design and adjusted consumption for daily use.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the pro_cee'd 1.6 CRDi 90 CV, the sensation is that of a docile and easy-to-drive car. Its 90 horsepower, although not promising overwhelming emotions, are sufficient to move freely in urban environments and make road trips without great pretensions. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.8 seconds and a top speed of 185 km/h place it in an adequate performance range for its segment and power. The combined consumption of 4.7 l/100km is one of its strong points, inviting you to enjoy every kilometer with the peace of mind of low fuel consumption. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, offers a good compromise between comfort and stability, absorbing road irregularities without sacrificing the feeling of control.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2008 KIA pro_cee'd stands out for its three-door body, which gives it a sportier and more dynamic image compared to the five-door version. Its lines are fluid and modern, with a length of 4250 mm, a width of 1790 mm, and a height of 1450 mm. The 15-inch wheels with 195/65 R15 tires complement its youthful aesthetic. The interior, although functional, feels well-assembled and with materials that, without being luxurious, fulfill their purpose. The 340-liter trunk is practical for daily use.
Technology and features
Under the hood, the KIA pro_cee'd 1.6 CRDi Concept mounts a 1582 cc diesel engine with 4 cylinders and 16 valves. This engine incorporates common rail direct injection, variable geometry turbo, and intercooler, technologies that contribute to its efficiency and good performance. The 90 CV power is delivered at 4000 rpm and the 235 Nm torque is available from 1750 rpm, which ensures good response at low revolutions. The 5-speed manual transmission efficiently manages power, sending it to the front wheels. Electric power steering facilitates maneuvers and city driving.
Competition
In the competitive segment of three-door compacts, the KIA pro_cee'd 1.6 CRDi 90 CV Concept faced models such as the Renault Mégane Coupé, the Opel Astra GTC, or the three-door Volkswagen Golf. Its main asset against them was a very attractive quality-price ratio, a fresh design, and a warranty that at the time was one of the most generous on the market.
Conclusion
The 2008 KIA pro_cee'd 1.6 CRDi 90 CV Concept is a sensible and attractive option for those looking for a three-door diesel compact. Its youthful design, efficient engine, and good road behavior make it an ideal companion for daily use and occasional getaways. It is a car that, without great fanfare, more than delivers on its promises, offering a pleasant and economical driving experience.
