Kia has created low-priced special edition versions of the cee'd hatchback and its three-door equivalent, the pro_cee'd, and given both of them the name VR-7.
the VR-7s are cheaper than the current entry-level models in each range, though they do come with a reasonable amount of equipment as standard: 16" alloy wheels, air-conditioning, front electric windows, Bluetooth and iPod connectivity, six audio speakers, body-coloured door mirrors which are also heated and electrically controlled, and leather on the steering wheel, gearlever and handbrake gaiters and front armrest.
Electronic stability control, Hill Start Assist and Vehicle Stability Management are standard on both VR-7 models, improving safety credentials.
The VR7 treatment is available in 1.4 petrol manual models for both cars and features 16inch Style ‘A’ Alloys, and body colour, heated and electronically controlled door mirror.
Electronic Stability Control with Hill Start Assist Control and Vehicle Stability Management are standard on the VR-7 models that now meet Euro-5 emission standards.
VR-7 Special Edition is priced from £11,695 for the pro_cee’d while the 1.4 cee’d VR-7 Special Edition starts from £11,995.
