Korean car manufacturer Kia has confirmed it is to unveil its third model in the Ceed line-up at the Frankfurt motor show on 11 September.

Aping the original 2006 Paris motor show concept and on sale at the beginning of next year the three-door Proceed takes the brand in a new sportier direction hoping to attract new interest in the growing business brand. Expect the Proceed to share the Ceed’s current range of engines with the possibility of a hot hatch version later on.

Flanking the three-door Ceed and reinforcing Kia’s confident sporty new image will be an all-new four-seat coupe concept that the firm hopes will take the German show by storm.
