The all-new 2012 cee’d is getting closer to the European dealers, specifically will come in early May (at the first time, in UK) and Kia Motors Europe released this new official pictures taken in Austria.
Depending on individual market preferences, the new cee’d will be available with a wide choice of engines offering power outputs from 90 to 135 ps. Across most of Western Europe there will be two petrol engines – a 1.4 MPi and a 1.6 GDi producing 100 and 135 ps respectively – plus two diesels – a 1.4 WGT with an output of 90 ps and 1.6 VGT diesel CRDi offered in two states of tune (110 and 128 ps). Certain markets in Europe will also offer a 1.6 MPi petrol unit producing 130 ps.
