Kia"s already got a Ceed hatchback, Ceed estate and Ceed shooting brake niche-o-wagon" in its ranks, so there"s no room for any more Ceeds, right? Wrong. Kia"s confirmed it"s working on a fourth bodystyle for its family hatchback, and it"ll be revealed in late 2019. What"ll it be? Well with the sleek new Proceed replacing the old three-door coupe-fied hatchback, we know it"ll not be a two-door. And the market for cabrios in this sector, once ruled by the French with folding hardtop Meganes and 308s, is long dead and buried. So the smart money says yep, you guessed it it"s a Ceed crossover in the wings. Kia wouldn"t be drawn beyond "that"s an interesting idea" at the Proceed"s launch, but logically, it"s the only ground left for the Ceed to occupy. Between the supermini-sized Kia Stonic crossover and the heartland Sportage, there"s just about room for a jacked-up hatchback that"s not as, well, mumsy as the Sportage.
