Paris Show : 2007 Kia Cee'd Sport Wagon

Two out five for Kia who decided to unveil the second version of its European designed, engineered and made, Cee'd. The estate-bodied Cee'd sport wagon follows the 5door hatch Cee'd and a sporty 3door hatch prototype called pro_cee'd, all of whom will make their debut at Paris.

Press Release : Due to go into full production in the middle of 2007 and on sale throughout Europe from next September, the vehicle is the next in Kia's European-designed, European-engineered cee'd line-up to be built at the Zilina factory in Slovakia.

The 4.470 mm long, 1.490 mm high, car features a tailgate shaped like an inverted "L" with its hinges set back over the load area so the tailgate rises almost vertically, giving enhanced access to the large-capacity cargo area that has additional storage below the floor.

The vehicle has the same 2650 mm wheelbase as the five-door hatchback cee'd that makes its world premiere in production-ready form at the Paris Motor Show and goes on sale in Europe from December 2006. When the new model goes on sale next September, customers will be offered an extensive choice of five engines, three trim/equipment levels and 12 exterior colours.
