The Proceed is a brilliant model to own. I'm now on my second one , the first being the pre facelift GT line and I'm lucky enough to own one of the first into the UK Facelift GT'S . Both models have been pretty good on mpg with the GT Line averaging around 50mpg , currently the GT averages 45-50 Mpg depending on rural / motorway use, sport mode however is around 26mpg. Out of both models ,the only thing which bug bares me is the piano black centre console which tends to scratch fairly easy and really shows after time. Both are great cars to drive but the GT's automatic gear change in sports mode could be improved as its quite erratic on the Revs at times. Also the GT being the all singing/ dancing model of the range misses out on equipment that comes as standard in the GT line S model and European GT models . No panoramic sunroof , no digital dash, no automated boot and more to add to the list. Something Kia has definitely let the GT owners down on in the Uk. Apart from the above both Kia proceeds have been brilliant car to own.
The Kia Proceed GT line s, Automatic is back on the Kia U.K. website today 14th March 2023. I hope Motability start doing them again as I have a four and a half year old Kia Optima GT line s, which I am very happy with, but must go back in October and it is very hard to get large auto estate cars, so this may be a smaller compromise.
Hi, the Optima is a great car as is the Procced. It's not on the Motab Scheme yet but it may come back on soon. Will let you know if it does. Thanks for the comment.
The GT line S is probably outwith my budget, can you get the new ceed 3 in a manual with an auto handbrake? would also like rear vents and USB....or would i have to look at the xceed ??? nice videos btw
Why cant we order the automatic anymore? Because I ordered my Proceed S ( In The Netherlands its a GT plus line) in Oktober 2021 and is still not in The Netherlands🥴 Nobody tells me nothing🤦♂️
In the UK we are not able to order Automatic Proceeds along with a number of other auto models. This is due to the microchip and superconductor shortage. They are focusing on producing the hybrids I believe. The situation in the Netherlands may be different, but your dealer should be giving you regular updates?
@@carsaleslegend2089 My dealer gives me no information other then it is delayed again🤦♂️ Really weird. 1.5 year for a benzine car🥴By the time when i get him, it's almost a old modelcar then haha
@@carsaleslegend2089 They have nothing😩 For time being i drive a Kia Niro 2022, its ok but damn i want me proceed finally. But thanks for your great video and your time 👊💪
Ordered gt plus line 1.5l automatic in februari 2022, today got the call that it has arrived and next week ready to pick up. I also live in the Netherlands. The dealer could not say anything about the delivery time and out of the blue the car is here. Bad communication from the factory towards the dealer, but I am happy!

Excellent in depth review of this stunning car.
Thank you for the comment 👌
There is a lot more underfloor space in the boot than was shown in the video.

Hi,
I will take a look for you when I'm back at work for you. Thanks for the comment by the way 👍.
Hi, is this car equipped with a spare tire? Thx
Hi,
It won't have a spare as standard, but you are able to order one at build or through your local Kia parts department.
Thanks for your comment 👍
@@carsaleslegend2089 Great review of the Proceed. So is there a space under the boot floor for a spare wheel?
Sorry I may have missed it but is the gt line s a turbo as well as the gt line?
Yes they both are
