Kia introduces diesel-powered Sport variant of its Cee’d model. Its a Kia’s 136bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine, which was produced for the Cee’d three-door version only.

Now diesel added for the five-door Cee’d and SW estate versions. Badged as Sport models, the diesel cars could mark the beginning of a diesel revolution in the Cee’d range.

Plans are afoot to introduce a more powerful oil-burning version of the Pro_cee’d too, but bosses are yet to give the project the official go-ahead.

Kia has finished a new bigger diesel for its Cee’d model. The Kia is making the 2.0-litre CRDi oil-burner from the Pro_cee’d Sport available across its family car line-up.

The 138bhp diesel appears in a new range-topping Sport trim on the five-door hatchback and SW estate bodystyles. And as well as the engine, the models get new 17-inch alloys, unique headlamps and tinted rear windows on the outside, plus part-leather sports seats inside.

Although it delivers more power, the 2.0-litre unit features the same fuel injection and Variable Geometry Turbocharger technology as the cur-rent 113bhp 1.6 CRDi in the Cee’d. It also complies with the latest Euro IV emissions standards. The new variants command a $2,400 premium over 1.6 models, so the Cee’d Sport starts from $32,000, with the Cee’d SW Sport priced at $32,000. Both are covered by the brand’s market-leading seven-year warranty.

Kia is now offering the 138 Hp strong diesel-unit on the Cee’d 5door and Cee’d SW models. Kia’s range topping diesel engine is introduced with a new Sport grade for the 5door and Station Wagon models featuring 17-inch alloys, black bezel headlights and rear privacy glass. The Sport models’ interior has part leather seats featuring a specially designed tyre tread cloth design with silver stitching highlights on seats, arm rest and steering wheel. The five-door Cee’d 2.0 CRDi Sport is priced at $30,000 while the Cee’d 2.0 CRDi Sport S W at $33,000.
