Detailed analysis of the KIA pro_cee'd 1.6 CRDi 115 CV Drive Plus (2011-2012)
General description
The 2011 KIA pro_cee'd is not just a car; it's a statement of intent from a brand that decided to conquer Europe. With this three-door body, KIA proved it could create an efficient diesel compact that was also packed with emotion and visual appeal, breaking molds and prejudices along the way.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the 116 HP 1.6 CRDi engine feels full and willing from low revs thanks to its generous 260 Nm of torque. It's not aiming for speed records, but its thrust is constant and very pleasant for daily driving and traveling. The six-speed manual gearbox has a precise feel, and the chassis, with an independent rear suspension uncommon in its segment, conveys a sense of poise and security that invites you to tackle curves with confidence. It's a balanced car that knows how to combine comfort with an agility that brings a smile to your face.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is its main calling card. The three-door silhouette, lower and sharper than the five-door model, evokes a sporty and passionate coupé feel. Every line, from the aggressive front end to the muscular rear, was designed to seduce. Inside, although more sober, the quality of the materials and the fit of the parts represented a giant leap for KIA, creating a cabin where solidity and a focus on ergonomics make life on board very easy.
Technology and features
For its time, the pro_cee'd offered an honest and functional technological package. You won't find large touch screens or advanced driving assistants, but you will find essential elements that guaranteed comfort and safety, such as climate control, an audio system with USB connectivity and steering wheel controls, and a comprehensive safety equipment with stability control. Its most outstanding technology was under the hood, with a modern common-rail diesel engine that achieved truly low consumption.
Competition
It fought in the heart of Europe's most competitive segment. It faced giants like the Volkswagen Golf, the SEAT León SC, the Renault Mégane Coupé, and the Opel Astra GTC. Against them, the pro_cee'd played its best cards: a design that was love at first sight, a very competitive price, and above all, the revolutionary 7-year warranty that conveyed a confidence in the product never before seen from the brand.
Conclusion
The KIA pro_cee'd 1.6 CRDi was proof that you could have it all: a spectacular design, a reliable and extraordinarily frugal engine, and remarkable dynamic behavior, all at a reasonable price. It was a turning point for KIA and remains, to this day, a smart and passionate purchase in the second-hand market for anyone looking for a car with soul and common sense.
