The New Kia c'eed GT-Line

On March 3rd at the Geneva Auto Salon, Kia will be debuting its new c'eed GT-Line range, complete with a new 1.0L T-GDI turbo petrol engine and a new seven-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox.
          The new GT Line adds the sporty look of the pro_c'eed GT to the standard c'eed models.  It will be available on the five and three-door c'eed, pro_c'eed, and c'eed Sportswagon.  The GT Line adds a different bumper and new LED running lights to the front of the c'eed, and a new GT bumper in the rear.  Five and three-door c'eed hatchbacks fitted with the GT Line pack will recieve twin exhausts, while the Sportswagon gets central dual exhausts and a diffuser, surprisingly.  All GT Line c'eeds will have new 17-inch wheels.

        C'eed GT Line interiors will get a range of different trim pieces from "high performance" Kia's, and some new GT badges.
        Available in the c'eed GT Line will be an updated 1.0L turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine.  Kia says this is the first in a series of downsized engines for sale in Europe.  The new engine produces 120 horsepower and 126 ft-lb of torque, so pretty good for a three-cylinder.  The focus of this new engine however is efficiency, so Kia has made the engine as small as possible through solutions such as an integrated exhaust manifold.

     The standard 1.6L diesel engine has also been upgraded with the GT Line pack, now producing 133 horsepower, an increase of a whopping 5 horsepower over the standard.  Also available on the 1.6L engine is a new dual clutch DCT seven-speed automatic transmission.
