Meet the new Kia pro_cee’d

The reasonably priced Kia see eee eee apostrophe dee has lost its back doors and gone all sporty in preparation for the Paris motor show.

Handsome, isn't it? According to Kia, it features "all the improvements made to the cee'd five-door and cee'd Sportswagon, while dramatically progressing the enhanced sporty appearence."

The Korean firm's not dribbled out any engine information, but it'll probably be fitting the same ones that you'll find in the five door, which means a 98bhp 1.4-litre and 133bhp 1.6-litre petrol and a 125bhp 1.6-litre diesel. Fingers crossed for a sporty one - we wouldn't want that bodywork writing cheques the engines can't cash.
