Kia has announced pricing and specification information for its new ProCeed shooting brake. Due to go on sale later this year, prices start at £23,835 for the 138bhp 1.4-litre GT-Line model and climb to £28,185 for the range-topping 1.6-litre GT.

The ProCeed badge was reserved for the three-door hatchback in the model’s previous generation. Now, however, the ProCeed adopts shooting brake proportions and is wedged between regular five-door Ceed hatchback and the Ceed Sportswagon estate. It’ll be built alongside the duo at Kia’s Žilina production facility in Slovakia.

• New Kia ProCeed GT review

Like the new Kia Ceed GT hatch, the ProCeed GT is powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol with 201bhp and 265Nm of torque. Unlike the GT hatch, however, this engine is only available with a DCT rather than a manual.

Despite the change in gearbox, performance figures are almost identical between the Ceed hatch and shooting brake GTs, with the ProCeed dispatching 0-62mph in 7.2 seconds and achieving a claimed top speed of 140mph; only three mph slower than the hatch. Economy figures are slightly improved, at 39.3mpg.
