The '''Kia Ceed''' (known as the '''Kia Cee'd''' before 2018) is a [[compact car]] produced by the South Korean manufacturer [[Kia]] since 2006 exclusively for the European market.
It is the first Kia vehicle to be designed entirely in Europe and tailored to European customers. To mark the occasion, Kia took the initials of the [[European Economic Community]], EEC or CEE in several languages and added ED for European Design. Realizing that "CEEED" had too many ‘E's, they replaced the last 'E' with an apostrophe, with 'Cee'd' being the end result. Since 2018, the Ceed name does not include an apostrophe. The initials now mean "Community of Europe, with European Design".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://press.kia.com/ie/en/home/media-resouces/press-kits/products/2018/Ceed-Press-Kit.html|title = The new Kia Ceed}}</ref> The model has been manufactured at the [[List of Kia design and manufacturing facilities#Žilina Plant|Kia Motors Slovakia]] assembly plant in [[Žilina]] since October 2006.<ref>{{cite web|date=8 June 2016|title=Kia Motors Slovakia celebrates its 10th anniversary|url=https://spectator.sme.sk/c/20185282/kia-motors-slovakia-celebrates-its-10th-anniversary.html|access-date=20 January 2020|work=SME}}</ref> The Ceed replaced the [[Kia Cerato|Cerato]] which had little success in Europe.
The Ceed was first unveiled on 28 September 2006 at the [[2006 Paris Motor Show|Paris Motor Show]]. In mid-2007, a station wagon version called the '''Cee'd sw''' was launched followed by the three-door '''Pro Cee'd''' in late 2007. From 2009 to 2010, Kia dropped the apostrophe of the Pro Cee'd and changed the model name to '''Pro Ceed'''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=How Many Left? |url=https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/browse/kia/kia_ceed |access-date=2023-09-15 |website=www.howmanyleft.co.uk}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=How Many Left? |url=https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/browse/kia/kia_pro_ceed |access-date=2023-09-15 |website=www.howmanyleft.co.uk}}</ref> The second generation of the Cee'd was presented at the [[Geneva Motor Show#2012|2012 Geneva Motor Show]]. At the [[Geneva Motor Show#2018|2018 Geneva Motor Show]], Kia presented the third generation Ceed. In early 2019, a [[shooting brake]] version of the Ceed was launched, called the '''Proceed'''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kia Proceed review |url=https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/kia/proceed |access-date=2023-09-15 |website=Autocar |language=en}}</ref> In September 2019, Kia also unveiled the '''XCeed''', a crossover SUV based on the third generation Ceed.
{{As of|2023}}, the Ceed is positioned between the [[Kia K3 (BL7)|K3]] [[supermini]] ([[B-segment]]) and the [[Kia K5|K5]] [[Mid-size car|large family]] car ([[D-segment]]).

The Cee'd was designed in [[Frankfurt]], Germany, with [[Miklós Kovács (automobile designer)|Miklós Kovács]] leading the design team,<ref name=Sun>{{cite web|title=Kia plants a Hungarian cee'd|publisher=[[The Budapest Sun]]| first = Robin | last = Marshall|url=http://www.budapestsun.com/extras/Motoring_Focus_2007_March.pdf|date=19 April 2007|access-date=20 May 2008}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> while the concept car was designed by Pontus Fontaeus. The cee'd is developed on the same platform as the [[Hyundai i30]]. The first generation was available with a choice of four [[engine]]s (two [[petrol engine|petrol]] and two [[diesel engine|diesel]]), five [[car model|trim]] levels and either [[manual transmission|manual]] or [[automatic transmission]].
There were three trim levels available: LX, EX, TX. The flagship TX trim was equipped with semi leather seats, [[Michelin]] 225/45 tires with 17 inch alloy wheels and rear parking sensors. All versions have six airbags as standard, active front headrests, height-adjustable headrests, pretensioners, ESP, electronic traction control, ABS, EBD, BA, and a reinforced structure of the cabin. Upon release on the market, the [[warranty]] is one of the most extensive and longest in Europe with seven years or 150,000&nbsp;km for the powertrain and five years for the entire vehicle.
In September 2009, the facelifted model was unveiled at the 63rd [[International Motor Show Germany|Frankfurt Motor Show]]. While the five-door and the station wagon were given an updated front and rear design, including the Kia's new corporate grille called the [[Kia Motors#Design emphasis|Tiger Nose]], technical revisions and minor changes in the interior, the three-door version exterior was not updated.<ref>{{cite web|title=Erwischt: ''Kia cee'd'' bekommt ein Facelift | trans-title = Caught: Kia cee'd gets a facelift | website= Motor1.com | url = http://de.motor1.com/news/163505/erwischt-kia-testet-den-uberarbeiteten-ceed/ | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210113181616/https://de.motor1.com/news/163505/erwischt-kia-testet-den-uberarbeiteten-ceed/ |  archive-date=13 January 2021 | first = Roland | last = Hildebrandt | language = de | date=29 June 2009}}</ref><ref name="Facelift">{{cite web|title=Frischer ''Kia cee'd'': Erstes Bild vom Facelift freigegeben|periodical=Auto-News Online-Ausgabe|url=http://auto-news.de/auto/news/anzeige_Frischer-Kia-Ceed-Erstes-Bild-vom-Facelift-freigegeben_id_24796| language = de | access-date=20 January 2010|date=13 July 2009}}</ref>

=== Body styles ===
'''Kia Pro_cee'd'''
The Pro_cee'd is the sports version of the Kia Cee'd, with a 3-door body and a new rear-end design. The concept car was showcased for first time at the Paris Motor Show in 2006. Apart from the 3-door hatchback body, the car is given a lower stance compared to the original 5-door Cee'd as it is 5&nbsp;cm lower and 5&nbsp;cm longer. The official pictures of the production version were released in July 2007.<ref>[http://www.quattroruote.it/news/articolo.cfm?codice=102103 Immagine di Quattroruote] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928071657/http://www.quattroruote.it/news/articolo.cfm?codice=102103|date= 28 September 2007 }}</ref><ref>[http://www.quattroruote.it/news/articolo.cfm?codice=100874 Immagine di Quattroruote] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928071850/http://www.quattroruote.it/news/articolo.cfm?codice=100874| date= 28 September 2007 }}</ref>

Making its worldwide premiere at the [[Geneva Motor Show#2012|2012 Geneva Motor Show]] is the all-new second-generation Cee'd (with internal code ''JD'') which is claimed to be more sophisticated, efficient, refined, better equipped with a more engaging driving experience than the first generation. The second-generation Cee'd is, however, significantly more expensive than the first generation and moves the Cee'd out of the "budget" market as noted by independent reviewers such as Honest John.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/kia/ceed-2012/?|title=KIA Cee'd 2012 - Car Review - Honest John|date=16 January 2015|work=honestjohn.co.uk}}</ref> With the new Cee'd, came Kia's first attempt of a [[hot hatch]] with the Pro Cee'd GT.
First shown in June 2015, a facelifted model of the Cee'd went on sale in September of the same year.
Approximately 647,700 units of the second-generation Cee'd were produced.

Kia released the Pro_Cee'd GT in July 2013, while the 5-door Cee'd GT was released January 2014. The Pro_Cee'd GT is the company's first performance oriented car and the first European style "[[hot hatch]]" from a Korean manufacturer.<ref>[http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/kia-pro-ceed-gt-2013-06-24] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140220013232/http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/kia-pro-ceed-gt-2013-06-24|date=20 February 2014|}}</ref> It would act as a [[halo model]] for the rest of the range.<ref name="telegraph.co.uk">{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/car-manufacturers/kia/10144547/Kia-Pro-Ceed-GT-review.html|title=Kia Pro Cee'd GT review|author=Leo Wilkinson|date=28 June 2013|work=Telegraph.co.uk}}</ref> It is also the first Kia sold in the UK with a turbo-charged petrol engine.{{Citation needed|date=April 2017}}
The Pro_Cee'd GT uses a variant of the [[Hyundai Gamma engine|T-GDi Gamma engine]]. The engine in the Pro_Cee'd GT is the same as that used in the American market [[Hyundai Veloster Turbo]], but different gear ratios and more aggressive suspension have been used.{{Citation needed|date=November 2018}} The torque has also been increased to {{Convert|265|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}}; though, where the standard T-GDi engine has all of its torque available between 1750 and 4500 rpm, the engine as used in the Pro_Cee'd GT has been altered slightly, having its full torque available between 1750 and 4600 rpm. The engine propels the car from 0-60&nbsp;mph (97&nbsp;km/h) in 7.4 seconds,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kia.co.uk/new-cars/range/mid-sized-cars/proceed-gt/specification/technical-specification.aspx|title=Kia pro_cee'd GT - Technical Specification - Kia Motors UK|work=kia.co.uk}}</ref> 0.4 seconds faster than the Veloster Turbo with the same engine (albeit a with a lower tune).{{Citation needed|date=April 2017}} The suspension in the GT has been modified over the standard Pro_Cee'd, giving a far more agile and sporting ride.{{Citation needed|date=April 2017}}
A body kit has been fitted to give the car a more muscular stance. The rear bumper now includes a splitter and twin exhausts, whilst the front introduces a large air intake with red pinstripe, a gloss black grille with silver GT badge and distinctive LED "Ice Cube" [[Daytime running lamp|daytime running lights]]—side skirts are also fitted. The car runs on 18" Alloy Wheels over the standard car's 17" wheels. The interior gains red accents including an overstitched GT badge on the bottom of the steering wheel, as well as Leather and Suede [[Recaro]] sports racing bucket seats and TFT instrument dial, allowing the driver to switch between an analogue speedometer and digital readout with boost pressure and torque meters.{{Citation needed|date=April 2017}}{{-}}

[[File:Paris 2006 - Kia Proceed.JPG|thumb|right|Kia Pro_cee'd Concept]]
;Kia Pro_cee'd
At the [[International Motor Show Germany#2007|2007 Frankfurt Motor Show]], Kia unveiled the ''Pro_Cee'd'', The Show Car designed by Pontus Fontaeus, and began marketing the model in January 2008. The Pro_Cee'd is mechanically identical to the 5-door model but many body panels (sans the bonnet and front-wings) are new and do not carry over from the 5-door model. The first-generation Pro_Cee'd was often compared to the Audi A3 in terms of its appearance,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/carreviews/2750999/Kia-proceed-Wheels-of-desire.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090626001004/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/carreviews/2750999/Kia-proceed-Wheels-of-desire.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=26 June 2009|title=Kia pro_cee'd: Wheels of desire|author=Roosevelt Joseph|date=29 February 2008|work=Telegraph.co.uk}}</ref> ''[[Auto Express]]'' calling it a "bargain Audi A3".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/kia/proceed|title=Kia Procee'd Review - Autocar|author=Hilton Holloway|work=autocar.co.uk}}</ref>
In 2013, Kia released the second-generation Pro_Cee'd. Unlike the previous generation, this car shares no body panels with the 5-door model. The new Pro_Cee'd has been continually praised in reviews for its looks, with a more coupé-like appearance, more sporting stance, lower suspension (by 40&nbsp;mm) and a smaller front grille.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/kia/proceed|title=Kia Pro_cee'd Review - Auto Express|work=Auto Express}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.topgear.com/uk/kia/proceed/road-test/1.6-gdi-s-driven|title=Car review: Kia Proceed 1.6 GDI S driven - road test - BBC Top Gear|author=Top Gear|work=BBC Top Gear}}</ref> The car has, however, gained some criticism; it excels at comfort and refinement like the standard Cee'd, but its suspension and steering are not considered at all sporty, its setup favouring the aforementioned comfort.
[[File:Kia Proceed, IAA 2017, Frankfurt (1Y7A3317).jpg|thumb|Kia ProCeed Concept 2017]]
In 2017, Kia released a concept for the third-generation ProCeed. This time as a shooting brake version of the Ceed.
;Kia Ex_cee'd
[[File:Kia ex ceed concept.jpg|thumb|right|Kia Ex_cee'd Concept]]
Kia's Ex_cee'd [[Convertible|cabriolet]] [[concept car]] premiered at the [[Geneva International Motor Show#2007|77th Geneva International Motor Show]] in 2007 and was designed by Pontus Fontaeus. Based on the three-door Cee'd [[hatchback]] (Pro_cee'd), the Ex_cee'd shares the same [[Automobile platform|platform]], but features different exterior panels and an electric folding fabric roof.
;Kia Eco_cee'd
Kia revealed a concept of its Pro_cee'd line, with improved aerodynamics and [[mild hybrid]] engine tuning to their diesel engine, under the name "Eco_cee'd". The concept models were fitted with ISG (Idle Stop&Go) and regenerative braking.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.zercustoms.com/news/2008-Kia-ECO-ceed.html |title=2008 Kia ECO ceed |publisher=ZerCustoms |access-date=1 August 2009}}</ref>

==In popular culture==
On 27 June 2010, the Kia Cee'd was revealed as the new reasonably priced car for the "[[Star in a Reasonably Priced Car|Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car]]" segment of the top-rated UK television programme ''[[Top Gear (2002 TV series)|Top Gear]]'', where presenter [[Jeremy Clarkson]] incorrectly and persistently pronounces the name as "Cee-apostrophe-d" and describes it as "the only car with an apostrophe ''in'' its name."<ref>[http://www.topgear.com/uk/track-guide?LapType=Kia-Ceed Our Guide to the Top Gear Track] - Top Gear</ref> The version used had a [[kerb weight]] upwards of 1,263&nbsp;kg,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kia.co.uk/New-Cars/Range/Mid-Sized/Ceed/Specification/Technical-Specification.aspx |title=cee'd Technical Specification &#124; Kia Motors UK |publisher=Kia.co.uk |access-date=24 April 2011}}</ref> and was priced at {{Currency|13,930|GBP}}.<ref>{{cite web|last=Beissmann |first=Tim |url=http://www.caradvice.com.au/72071/kia-ceed-top-gears-new-reasonably-priced-car/ |title=Kia cee'd Top Gear's new Reasonably Priced Car &#124; Car Advice &#124; Reviews |publisher=Car Advice |date=29 June 2010 |access-date=24 April 2011}}</ref> The car was eventually replaced in [[Top Gear (series 20)|Series 20]] by a [[Vauxhall Astra]].

==Motorsport==
The Kia Cee'd has been homologated for [[TCR International Series|TCR-specification series]] and is manufactured and supplied by Austrian company [[STARD (auto racing)|STARD]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://stard.at/2016/10/29/stard-officially-unveils-kforce-kia-ceed-tcr/|title=STARD officially unveils K:Force Kia Cee'd TCR|publisher=STARD.at|access-date=24 February 2017|archive-date=22 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170222195905/http://stard.at/2016/10/29/stard-officially-unveils-kforce-kia-ceed-tcr/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Kia will run a factory-supported team in the [[Scandinavian Touring Car Championship]] in 2017.
The Pro Cee'd serves as an official [[safety car]] in [[Poland]]'s Kia Lotos Race, a racing organization created by Kia Motors Polska and [[Grupa Lotos]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kialotosrace.pl/ |title=Kia Lotos Race |publisher=Kia Motors Polska |access-date=25 May 2017}}</ref>
==Outside Europe==
[[File:Kia Ceed SW modified to Sber Autotech (front view).jpg|thumb|Kia Ceed SW modified for autopilot by Sber AutoTech]]
The Cee'd was being initially available only in the markets of Europe, Israel and South Africa.
In Russia and Kazakhstan, the first two generations of Cee'd were sold alongside the [[Kia Forte]].
Kia began selling Cee'd models in Morocco since 2010. As of 2020, Kia still sells Cee'd models in Morocco, alongside the Kia Cerato.
In 2014, the Pro_Cee'd GT was being sold in [[Israel]], [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]]. In 2015, Kia Australia announced that the Pro_Cee'd GT would no longer be offered in 2016, registering just 746 units over the two years on sale.
