KIA Pro Ced test since 2007 hatchback
Test drive kia pro_cee`d: a self-expression pro product
The 2.0-liter 140-horsepower engine is quite good. Weak thrust on the bottoms is replaced by a vigorous pickup when the tachometer arrow overcomes a mark of 3000 rpm. For the first time when he saw the three -door Kia Pro_cee`d, he involuntarily cried out: here is a handsome man! But a few years ago, no one could even think that Korean cars would be called such enthusiastic epithets.
It all started at the Paris Auto Show in 2006, when KIA introduced to the broad masses the amazing concept of Pro_cee`d, bewitching its swiftness and aggressive design. However, the serial three -door turned out to be only a variation of the Kia Cee`d hatchback that had already gained popularity. However, the Koreans did not limit themselves to a change in the number of doors, so Pro_cee`d did not inherit the ordinaryness of the appearance of its ancestor, which has already become a certain symbiosis of all popular models of this segment.
As a result, Pro_cee`d received new aggressive bumpers, low planting and a lower roof, which added the appearance of the hatchback of sports and aggression. The three -door athlete owes its slender waist to large stamping on the sides, as well as the stern, where everything was subjected to changes from optics to the trunk door. In fact, only the windshield and the hood remained from the Cee`d donor.
The creation of a sports silhouette forced designers to reduce the height by as much as 30 mm. In addition, Pro_cee`d is longer than its 15 mm donor, which is why everyone who sat on the rear sofa was unanimously surprised at the spaciousness of the three -door version.
Koreans did not change the interior. Here Cee`d and its modification with the prefix Pro are completely identical. Ergonomics at altitude all controls are located with German pedantry: everything is in their places. The soft rubberized texture, which is trimmed with the front panel and doors sheathing, is pleasant to the eye, and does not cause complaints to the touch. Leather front chairs with a good profile and developed lateral support record the bodies of passengers well. Adjustment ranges are quite enough, but in height
the amplitude is still not enough. The steering wheel is trimmed with pleasant skin and is regulated in two planes. The dashboard is good for good information, but in the dark, bright orange backlight begins to irritate, and even the adjustment of brightness does not help. Otherwise, a well-tailored, nice interior without any frills. Places for the rear passengers were pleasantly surprised by a well -defiled sofa and quite enough space for two adult riders. The volume of the trunk is a lot of 340 liters (with a folded rear couch, it can be increased to 1130 liters), but the impression is spoiled by a large loading height.
The clamped suspension Kia Pro_cee`d transfers all joints and bumps of the roadway to the salon, in addition, along with shaking on bumps, the corresponding sound support of the suspension fluctuations is clearly broadcast. In the ruta Pro_cee`d is also not a fountain. Large 17-inch wheels with low-profile tires strive to tear the steering wheel from the hands of the pilot.
But on an even asphalt of the three -door is kept by great. The clear work of pendants on the turn, stability on direct and excellent stability with almost complete absence of lateral or diagonal swing.
But with the steering, the Koreans clearly overdoed it. If in the parking lot the steering wheel, as expected, is not heavier than fluffs, then with an increase in speed, the synthetic force on the steering wheel grows too sharply, ahead of the driver's reaction. As a result, feedback is lost, and the maneuver has to be finished at random. It seems that the amplifier algorithm is clear, but information content suffers due to too unnatural effort. It seems that when calibrating the steering, engineers simply forgot to carry out the final configuration of the electrical imprisonment.
The 2.0-liter 140-horsepower engine is quite good. Weak thrust on the bottoms is replaced by a vigorous pickup when the tachometer arrow overcomes a mark of 3000 rpm. The five -speed transmission pleased with good information. Unlike the novelty of Cerato, the hatchback forward is shifted clearly, with the right force. But how terribly the rear gear turns on! Not only that she stuck one time, but even after the checkpoint lever was in the right groove, a couple of times Pro_cee`d flatly refused to order backwards. Most likely, this is just a factory marriage in a particular car, because it will not work to write off fuzzy inclusion of the rear kilometers: we took Kia Pro_cee`D with a mileage of about 300 km and an excellent clutch. Brakes without complaints, but too sensitive the pedal for the first time makes nosov to bite even in the most harmless situations. Kia Cee`d became the first South Korean car to make its way to the group of the Car of the Year 2008 competition, and also earned a maximum rating of five stars for a crash test according to the European EURONCAP system. With the withdrawal of the three -door Kia Pro_cee`d, the Korean company completely swung at the European holy caste of stylish hatchi with an application for easy sports. Pro_cee`d is already a familiar quality product, but only in a gift package that does not get tired, like an ordinary gray box. Outside the three -door is equally beautiful from all sides, and in the salon, albeit boring, but a solid, convenient and practical interior. Together with a five -year Russian guarantee (in Europe, a guarantee for KIA cars is 7 years old), these advantages make Kia Pr_cee`d a good expression of self -expression, which also travels well.
