Kia’s second-generation Ceed is set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show, six years after the original version was launched.

The new Ceed five-door hatchback is longer, wider and lower than its predecessor, with the same long wheelbase.

The front of the new Ceed is shares styling cues from recent Kia models with the latest interpretation of the company's trademark ‘tiger-nose’ grille and, wraparound headlamp clusters housing signature LED daytime running lights.

A three-door coupé and an estate version are likely to follow. The 2012 Geneva Motor Show takes place from March 8.
