Kia Pro_Cee'D Problems
No car is perfect, but we've gathered everything relating to the Kia Pro_Cee'D reliability here to help you decide if it's a smart buy.
What is the benefit of capped price servicing?
The big thing with capped price servicing is not to authorise any work at all beyond the factory schedule. The capped-price programs — which are not called “fixed price” because it's illegal for car makers to fix a price, although they can set an upper limit — were created so people could plan their whole-of-life costs when buying a car. It's to create certainty on the future scheduled work on any vehicle, although wear-and-tear items such as brakes, tyres and clutch are still not covered.
Pro_cee'd discontinued in Australia?
It’s a good car that has failed to proceed, although there are still some in dealer stocks that should be sharply priced. Also expect some fleet cars with low kilometres to come on to the market in the next few months.
Korean choices 2
When the Japanese brands slashed development spending through the global financial crisis, the Koreans spent more to improve their cabin quality, engines, gearboxes and everything else. Kia and Hyundai now also have specialist engineers who tune their suspensions just for Australia. They also lead on warranty and service costs, for a compelling overall package on cars like the Hyundai i30 and Kia Proceed.
