The Kia Pro_Cee’d Mk1 was introduced in 2008 as the sportier, three-door variant of the Kia Cee’d hatchback, aimed at younger drivers with its sleeker, coupe-like styling. Built on the same platform as the standard Cee’d, it offered a balance of practicality and performance. The model received a facelift in 2011, which brought updated styling cues, improved interior materials, and enhanced technology features. Production of the Mk1 Pro_Cee’d ended in 2012, making way for the second-generation model that debuted in 2013.

The factory wiring uses an ISO plug in this range but the steering wheel controls are in different parts of the Mini-ISO block.
