Stylish and Practical Kia PROCEED

The Kia PROCEED is a cool compact shooting brake that hit the market in 2019. It mixes sporty looks with everyday practicality. Built on the Kia Ceed platform, it stands out with its unique design and versatility. With a selection of petrol and diesel options, the PROCEED is perfect for drivers looking for both performance and regular usability, especially when paired with a Kia Proceed Exhaust upgrade to enhance both sound and driving feel.

Powerful Performance Specifications

Under the hood, the PROCEED boasts a 1.6 litre turbo petrol engine that pumps out 150 kW 204 PS 201 hp and 265 Nm of torque. It comes with either a 7 speed dual clutch automatic or a 6 speed manual gearbox, powering the front wheels. It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in around 7.5 seconds and can reach a top speed close to 140 mph, all while delivering strong efficiency. With the addition of a Kia Proceed Exhaust System, engine response and overall performance characteristics are further improved.

Competitive Dimensions and Market Position

In terms of size, the PROCEED measures 4,605 mm long, 1,800 mm wide, and 1,420 mm high, with a kerb weight of about 1,370 kg. For UK drivers, this model competes with vehicles like the Volkswagen Golf Estate and Ford Focus Estate, but stands out thanks to its shooting brake styling and strong potential for visual and performance upgrades.

Enhanced Driving Experience with a Custom Valved Exhaust System

This Kia PROCEED came to us with a clear goal of achieving a more aggressive sound and a sportier rear aesthetic through a fully custom exhaust solution. We designed and built a bespoke valved quad exit cat back exhaust system, tailored specifically to suit the vehicle and the driver’s preferences.

The system features an integrated valve control setup, allowing the driver to switch between a quieter refined tone for everyday driving and a louder, more dynamic exhaust note when desired. The quad exit layout significantly enhances the rear styling, giving the car a more performance focused appearance, while the improved exhaust flow helps reduce back pressure and sharpen throttle response.

Overall, this Kia Proceed Exhaust upgrade delivered a perfect balance of daily usability and performance driven sound, transforming both the driving experience and visual presence of the vehicle.
