2011 Kia Pro_cee'd Facelift Leaked Ahead of Geneva Salon Debut

Photos of the mildly refreshed Kia Pro_cee'd are making the internet rounds before the car's scheduled world premiere at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in early March. The most obvious visual changes concern the restyled front end that brings the three-door version of the European market Cee'd more in line with Kia's latest offerings.

Along with the new H-shaped front grille finished in black, the 2011 Pro_cee'd also gains restyled headlamps and a reworked bumper. It is also possible that Kia may have upgraded the three-door model's interior as well as its engine line-up, but we won't know for sure until we get the official press release in our hands. Until then, follow the break to check out the rest of the pictures.

Kia Cee'd Facelift Unwrapped in New Spy Shots

The past few weeks we've seen numerous spy shots as well as an official teaser of the forthcoming Kia Cee'd facelift but these latest scoops that surfaced on Kia-World are by far the best as they reveal the refreshed hatchback in detail inside and out. This particular Cee'd that appears to have been bagged somewhere in South Korea Slovakia(?) is a higher grade version as it features a different treatment for the grille along with an additional front apron.

To sum up, the styling updates up front that include a new hood and bumper plus different head lamps and grille give Kia's C-segment hatchback a little more character while changes at the rear are less visible as they are limited to the subtly redesigned bumper and the reworked tail lamps. The new mirrors with integrated turning signals and the new alloy wheel designs round off the exterior changes.

As for the interior, the 2010MY Cee'd features a subtly redesigned center console with new controls and an upgraded audio system with Bluetooth connectivity plus a new steering wheel and revised gauges on the instrument panel.

The five-door Cee'd facelift will bow to the public for the first time at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

2010 Kia Cee'd Facelift Photos: Exterior Spied, Interior Leaked

In addition to receiving a whole bunch of spy shots of the 2010 Kia Cee'd facelift at the Nurburgring race track in Germany from our photographers, the crew over at Kia-World also sent us three leaked photos of the hatchback's subtly refreshed interior. Kia's updated VW Golf-sized hatch is expected to make its world debut at the Frankfurt motor show in September, before arriving in European markets sometime during the fourth quarter of the year.

The leaked shots of the 2010 Cee'd hatchback's interior reveal that Kia's designers have upgraded the center stack with new air-condition and audio system controls and their respective LCD screens while other changes include the restyled instrument panel gauges, a new three-spoke steering wheel and the redesigned lower part of the center console.

And how about the 2010 Cee'd's exterior? It's apparent from the spy photos of the camouflaged prototype on the 'Ring that the bulk of improvements will be made on the front and rear end of the car.

Aside from the new hood design and the restyled exterior mirrors with integrated turining signals, expect a new grille and headlights influenced by Kia's latest production and concept cars likes the Soul and KND-5 mid-size sedan study plus a few changes at the rear including different tail lights.
