In 2015 we had the Novo and the Sportspace, then the Stinger, and now this: the Kia Proceed Concept, a shooting brake set for the Frankfurt Motor Show. Yep, Kia"s new-found penchant for producing striking concept cars continues at a rate.We"re told this rather pretty concept hints at styling directions for the next generation of cee"d; a car that could slot in at the top of the range as the halo model. They are good hints; the minimalist rear end gets but a single light bar running left to right, whilst the sides, with their enclosed door handles, crease and front arch vent appear to have taken inspiration from Bertone"s 2013 Aston Rapide fastback concept. Not a bad thing to use as an influence.However, perhaps the most obvious feature is the almost never-ending window line. Starting at the A-pillar, it stretches back all the way to the rear and finishes by turning back on itself and morphing into a fin-shaped C-pillar. It"s highlighted by what Kia calls Luminline" - an illuminated light highlighting the fastback shape.
