2016款起亚cee'd改款车图片近日曝光，该车将于8月发布，随后将在9月开幕的法兰克福车展首次亮相。这款车属于cee'd的中期改款车，因此改款幅度不大，包括略微改款前保险杠集成了不同的格栅，更小雾灯，车身更多镀铬装饰。由于图片清晰度不高，因此无法判断前大灯是否采用深色灯罩。由于图片所显示车辆采用红色涂装，因此很明显是高端版本，配备了选装的天窗。它的轮圈也与cee'd GT Line相同，预计车尾也将进行小改款，尤其是后保险杠和尾灯组部分。车厢内预计也将采用新的内饰选择。cee'd GT Line搭载一台1.0升三缸涡轮增压引擎，功率88千瓦/120马力，扭矩172牛米。这台引擎很可能配备在所有cee'd改款车上。而1.6升CRDi引擎功率提升至98千瓦/133马力，扭矩285牛米，可搭配七速双离合器变速器。另外，起亚很可能放弃老旧的1.6升自然进气引擎，转而采用新的1.2升涡轮增压汽油引擎。

 

2016 Kia cee'd facelift revealing image pops up

A revealing image of the facelifted Kia cee'd compact hatchback has emerged.

 

Kia's mid-cycle refresh for the cee'd is subtle at best as the revisions were kept down to a minimum. It appears to have a slightly modified front bumper with different gills and smaller fog lights with a more subtle chrome surround compared to the current model. Due to the low resolution of the photo, we don't know for sure whether those headlights have darker graphics, but the rest of the car seems to be identical.

 

This appears to be a high specification version painted in Infra Red and equipped with the optional sunroof. The wheels are likely borrowed from the cee'd GT Line and chances are the rear end hosts some minor tweaks to the bumper and taillight graphics. Some interior cabin revisions like new upholstery options and fresh trims should round off the package.

 

The aforementioned cee'd GT Line introduced a 3-cylinder 1.0-liter turbo with 120 PS (88 kW) and 172 Nm (127 lb-ft) which will likely be offered across the entire cee'd facelift range. The 1.6-liter CRDi was updated to 133 PS (98 kW) and 285 Nm (210 lb-ft) and will be available with a dual-clutch seven-speed automatic transmission. Chances are Kia will also replace the outdated 1.6-liter naturally aspirated motor with a brand new 1.2-liter turbocharged gasoline engine.

 

We will know for sure in August when the cee'd facelift should be revealed, prior to a public debut a month later at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
