, Cee'd Sport Wagon estate and three-door Pro_cee'd, Kia is planning to offer a turbocharged hot hatch version of all three cars with 200hp badged as the GT. The Cee'd and Pro_cee'd GTs will be introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

All of the cars will get sporty body kit and 18in wheels. The three-door will get leather Recaro seats and other upgrades to the interior. 

The engine is the same 1.6-liter turbocharged engine from the Hyundai Veloster TurboVeloster 1.6 T-GDi Style TurboHyundai Veloster 1.6 T-GD...Republic of Korea, 2013 > present4 photos
with a twin scroll turbocharger that produces 201hp and 195lb-ft of torque (265Nm). Kia has not said anything officially, but it will probably be offered with the same six-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmission options that come on the Veloster Turbo. This will be the first use of the turbocharged version of this engine outside of the Veloster Turbo. 

Buyers will have to wait a little longer for the Sport Wagon GT; Kia is waiting to see if the Focus ST wagon is a success before green lighting the car.
