The original Cee’d, the first Kia to be both designed and built entirely in Europe (styled at Kia’s Frankfurt studio and assembled at a new plant in Žilina, Slovakia).[1] It shared its platform with the contemporary Hyundai i30, and came in three body styles: the plain five-door hatchback, a sportier three-door “Pro Cee’d,” and an estate, the Cee’d SW.
No power or torque figures for this generation’s engines are given in the Wikipedia article, and the car was never sold in the US, Canada or the Netherlands, so the EPA, NHTSA and RDW registers this catalogue otherwise draws on return nothing for it either, which is a genuine gap rather than an oversight. Kerb weight is only published as a range across the whole line-up (1,263-1,572 kg), so the lowest figure is recorded at generation level rather than assigned to a specific trim.
