Back in March we had what appeared to be the first leaked sketch of the 2013 Kia Pro_cee’d – Kia’s three-door sporty take on the new cee’d – but since then, nothing.

But we’ve now got the first photos of the new Pro_cee’d ahead of its reveal at the Paris Motor Show in a week or two, and it looks convincing.

Under the skin is much of what the new cee’d has to offer, including the engines, but all wrapped up in a nice swoopy coupe shape with a sportier setup and a lower stance.

What we also expect is that the new Pro_cee’d will get endowed with the same engine setup as the new Hyundai Veloster Turbo for a range-topping Pro_cee’d. That will mean something approaching 200bhp and a 0-62mph somewhere under 8 seconds.

We’re waiting for more information from Kia and as soon as get it we’ll update.
