I always assumed that we have a Cerato which is the same as the Ceed in Europe and the Forte in North America.
Nope, Google it, they look different especially the rear and interior.

Kia Proceed 1.6 T-GDi GT 2019 review
Should I buy one?
In top-spec GT trim, the Proceed 1.6 T-GDi should offer a well-rounded package, so long as you keep away from the dual-clutch gearbox and go for the six-speed manual instead.
It has more than enough room inside, is wrapped in an attractive body and strikes a fine balance between comfort and driving satisfaction.

Kia Ceed GT 2019 review
Should I buy one?
Along with the inherently good ergonomics of the third-generation Ceed, as everyday transport the GT is not only a convincing car but also a promising one.
It's clear this chassis has more to give: in fact, it feels only 30bhp and a tauter rear axle away from being genuinely entertaining. As it is, only an underwhelming combined economy figure of 38.2mpg – the engine is a weak link in general – and this new model’s indistinct styling give genuine pause for thought.

Kia Ceed Sportswagon 1.6 GDi PHEV 2020 UK review
Should I buy one?
Perhaps - but only if you understand that to get anywhere near its claimed 188mpg economy figure, you’ll have to use it primarily for short hops around town so you can make the most of its 35-mile electric-only range. You’ll want to ensure you can reliably charge at home, too, because using the petrol engine to do so will eat into any fuel savings you might have previously achieved. But the same goes for any PHEV, really.
Of course, for those approaching the Ceed Sportswagon PHEV from a company car point of view, there’s the added advantage of heavily reduced benefit-in-kind tax that cars of this type offer. And that’ll stand regardless of whether you actually use it with the battery topped up or not.
But if you are sold on the idea of a plug-in hybrid as your next car, you’d do well to consider the Skoda Superb iV, too. It’s vastly more practical and comfier and its electrified powertrain generally feels more cleverly integrated and powerful than the Ceed’s. But then so it should: not only is it bigger than the Kia, but with prices starting at £33,590, it’s a few thousand pounds pricier, too. I know where my money would go.

Will it be third time lucky for Kia’s Europe-only hatchback - or are established rivals from Ford, VW, Seat and Honda still the better buy?

Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 48V iMT 2020 review
Should I buy one?
The Ceed’s generic styling, long gear ratios and perceived interior quality were all reasons to opt for the more accomplished Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus before, and with no updates in these key areas, the Ceed remains a tier below those class leaders.
However, it’s still a very creditable family hatchback, with a commendable driving experience and decent kit list representing excellent value for money. Kia’s seven-year warranty will sway a lot of customers, too. Although the latest additions won’t move the Ceed up the pecking order, buyers will at least have a few more reasons to give it a chance.

The Top Gear car review:
Kia Proceed
Verdict
Final thoughts and pick of the range
Is a sleeker estate the new must-have niche? Kia thinks so…
The Proceed takes a bit of getting your head around, because it’s not sportier than the Ceed, despite looking lower and sleeker. But neither is it dramatically impractical, despite being an estate car that’s more about style than trips to Ikea. Sorry that sounds convoluted – such is life when cars with old names assume new roles and chase narrow niches.
Fundamentally, the Proceed is still a good and recommendable car, because Kia’s warranty and equipment-heavy trim levels make for a promising ownership experience.
It’s not a standout performer to drive – even in 201bhp GT form – but it’s competent and comfortable enough, and its looks are genuinely arresting. Hardly a volume seller for Kia, but the ones it does shift make for interesting head-turners among the crossover SUV malaise.

Kia Ceed SW
Kia has revised three of the four variants of the Ceed for model year 2022. The hatchback, SW and Shooting Brake all get a more dynamic front and rear design, new alloy wheels, refreshed color palette and refined interior. In addition, the range of assistance and infotainment functions has been significantly expanded. The revised model variants also carry the new KIA logo that the brand has introduced at the beginning of 2021.
Production starts in August 2021 in the Kia's European plant in Zilina, Slovakia and the cars will begin arriving at dealerships in the fourth quarter of 2021.

That proceed is hot. Like a baby stinger.
Can one purchase aftermarket apostrophes for the new ceed though?

Kia Ceed
Kia's best-selling Ceed range has received a range of bold and contemporary enhancements for 2021, including dynamic and athletic design accents. The Kia Ceed five-door hatchback, Ceed Sportswagon estate and ProCeed shooting brake versions will each reveal an entirely redesigned front-end, sporty updates to the rear, restyled alloys and refreshed body colours and interior when the new models go on sale at the beginning of Q4.
The Kia Ceed family offers one of the most comprehensive C-segment line-ups on the market, and its enduring presence in the Kia range highlights the model's outstanding customer appeal and reputation. Long recognised for its key role in establishing the Korean brand in Europe, the Ceed range was Kia's first car designed, engineered and built in Europe specifically to appeal to European tastes. Now contributing to 28 per cent of Kia's European market share, the Ceed range remains a strong contender and stands confidently alongside many best-selling brands that have dominated this segment for decades.

2022 Kia Ceed line-up gets sharp new look and improved tech
Styling and safety tech updates introduced for Kia Ceed range, with sales to begin later this year
Kia has facelifted its Ceed line-up, with the updated hatchback, Proceed shooting brake and Sportswagon estate due to go on sale in the fourth quarter of 2021.
The front has been heavily restyled, with the grille gaining a black gloss finish and satin chrome 'wings'. The headlight design has also been altered and GT-Line S and GT versions of the Proceed now carry daytime running lights that also act as sequential indicators.
Meanwhile, the old Kia logo has been ditched in favour of the latest design, introduced earlier this year to mark a shift in the brand’s approach.
At the rear, the bumper has gained a glossy black diffuser, and GT-Line cars get a new tail-light made up of 48 honeycomb-shaped modules arranged into five rows, another example of several measures to make each trim level easier to distinguish. GT models get a variety of red accents for a sportier look.
Two new exterior colours - Orange Fusion and Machined Bronze - replace the current model’s Copper Stone option. Three new alloy wheel designs bring the total available to six: additions include 16in alloys in silver and glossy black, 17in items on GT-Line cars and 18in alloys with red accents on GT cars.
The interior options list has had a similar refresh, with four new upholstery finishes. Higher-spec cars get a 12.3in digital instrument cluster and a 10.25in infotainment touchscreen, each with high-resolution graphics.
