Hi everyone and welcome to this new video!
those of you who have seen the previous vlog on Barcelona
probably already know what I'll talk about
those who have not watched it, I invite you to do it 'cause it's a bomb!
Today I'm in Barcelona, or rather
Barcelona is somewhere over there
right now I'm at the Castellolì Circuit
a track right outside Barcelona. Kia invited me
to try in advance
a car that's coming out in just a while, that is
the new Kia Proceed. Yesterday
and this morning, we tried this car
around the city, to fully try it
and test all its features.
while this afternoon we're gonna stay on the track 'cause we're gonna kill it
so in this video I'm gonna review in detail this car
and finally
although it's raining and it's wet, I'll hit the gas on the track!
But what car are we talking about exactly?
this is a category of cars that is still not very popular, especially in Italy:
a shooting-brake
it's basically a station wagon or sports wagon call it what you want,
with more sinuous and elegant lines
and the most special feature of this car is the rear axle
If we analyze it well, it tells us many things
first we notice how the upper line, as you go towards the rear axle
it drops down, and it curves
then we notice a very special design element that is the rear light
as you can see we don't have
two single lights
We have a single headlight that runs
the full width of the car
Going down we finally notice something that
makes the mouth water too all engine fans like me
that is
a badass diffuser
one and two, two exhausts, which let's us understand that
something very interesting hides down there
the traction is in front,
and the weight in running order is 1.421 kg
The trunk as I expected from a sportwagon is really huge
594 lt, like always
let's do the usual test to see if I fit
well, obviously keeping in mind that
it's a shooting brake and it lowers down
I can't stay sitting like in a SUV
but I can say that I fit well in here
I think a Dani Pedrosa would also fit here
Looking at the aesthetics of this car we understand that it is a car with elegant lines
but
looking at those exhausts. Looking at those brakes. . Looking at that diffuser
and listening to the sound it makes when giving gas
we also understand that the designers wanted to give her a sporting soul,
as in any car worthy of respect, there are various engines available
and today here I have
the GT version, that mounts
1600 204-horsepower turbocharger with seven-speed dual clutch gearbox
so
it's car designed for comfort? yes
it's car designed for elegance? yes
but it is also a car designed for those who like me when they press
the accelerator pedal want to feel the
pressure on the back, and above all want
to hear.
And when we get inside we understand that the design work we saw outside
was done inside as well, first of all
a gem:
guess what happens when I close the door?
I love stuff like this
but I'm sure you got that from past videos.
if we look at the interior we notice how the sports finishes we saw outside
looking at it inside, we notice that the
sporting aspect has been featured also in the finishes
fairly racing-style seats, .
with a leather and alcantara mix
with red inserts that blend together with an elegant look
We have keyless ignition
that is, we have the key but
you don't inserted and turn it,
the dashboard, that at this moment tells me we have low tire pressure
because this is the car they use on the track for the laps
so you have to deflate the tires
because as you race they warm up and the
pressure and temperature rise.
As I was saying, the dashboard the dashboard has the two timeless hands
with a display in the middle that gives it lots of useful information
We then have this second mega display where we can
use apple car play or android auto or the integrated navigator
and kia connected services, of course
this car also has a rear view camera with parking sensors
I'm taking too long for the review
they needed the car for the track
so they gave this one. Still a Proceed, a GT,
except with the manual transmission. I'll continue the review on this one
The driver is very comfortable
you can choose the motorized seat that
with a whole series of buttons
allows you to adjust the seat in a thousand ways
same thing for the passenger seat
there's so much leg room
I'm almost lying down.
and of course, as you expect from a shooting brake,
even behind you are comfortable
The moment we start driving we immediately understand the sporting spirit of this car
because, because it has a steering wheel
that responds in an exceptional way
hard to the right point
which is the typical feature of sports cars
and beyond that it has a fairly rigid structure, this car, in the curve
you feel it that it's very stable
it gives you the feeling of safety
in this that they gave me now there is the manual transmission, but in what I will drive on the track in just a bit
as I said in the initial part of the video there is a seven-speed automatic transmission with even the steering wheel paddles
which is
something I love, which should be on every car with automatic transmission
the one I'll drive on the track also has
the sports button which by now -- I don't even have to tell you about that
here too there are many safety and driving aid systems,
like the cruise control with Stop and go function
which regulates the speed and distance according to the vehicles we have before us.
The lane detector, the collision sensor
of the blind spot, useful 'cause sometime it happens that you don't realise
there's a car behind over there, so every time we have a car
coming up, the LED light turns on
on the mirror.
We have the parking assist, the security system that prevents rear-end collisions
so if if it detects that we are crashing into the car that precedes us
it operate the brakes, blocking the car
the audio system is jbl's
and it's not at max volume yet
can you hear me?
I think not
I had not tried it yet at max volume, guys it's crazy
holy crap! the cool thing about this car is that
it has a double personality, because you can say
"I'm gonna go for a ride
like a quiet and elegant person, with the family
I can take Grandma out. Or you can say
"Now I go out and make some noise"
Something else really cool I found out earlier
Basically while I was fumbling here, I accidentally clicked this button
and I started to feeling steering wheel hot, is a beautiful thing
there's a button
to warm up the steering wheel
oh god
so when you exit your house on Jan 5th
with ice on the glass, and you can't hold on
to the steering wheel 'cause it's freezing, you just press
that button, and it's the best feeling in the world
Aside from that of course there are
warm up seating functions,
both driver and passenger can warm up
the seat, with 3 levels,
The road trip is over, I'm back at the circuit, where you can see all the GTs
with the automatic transmission
ready, waiting for us, 'cause now we hit the track and
we're gonna go so fast!
This track is awesome!
Oh my god! I've never driven here
At the Castellolì
I gotta come here once and drive for real
this is the first explorative lap, I don't know
the lap whatsoever, so
I'm following the car in front of me,
acting like a pace car
as you can see we're riding on the wet
because the curbs are --
look at this curve!
for real?
look at this banking!
it feels like being on the ring
Ok we're starting the lap, I'll put the 5th at the end of the straight
strong braking for the first curve
towards the right
the closing curve
we use the whole
curb when exiting
to try and exit as fast as possible
we brake just a little
for this right curve
which rises, goes uphill, it's on the left
as you can see the whole track goes up and down, it's crazy
you touch the brake pedal, then you let go
you go all the way,
you gotta be gentle
all down in mid-curve,
you go right,
braking, really hard this one
narrow curve towards the left,
so much banking it feels like being in one of those
curves like this, then look here
this curve is scary!
we touch the brake
we enter
you let it run, at mid-curve
you hit the gas
you wait, you wait, you wait, you keep turning and the hit it, and you exit
here in this long straight road
that was a great curve! 4th speed
we get to push
almost to 6th here
braking, very important
you downshift 3 speeds
we go 6th - 3rd
we open the gas, go wide
we then go left, look here
we hit the brake, for this double right curve
here the car tends to oversteer
because you have
some negative banking maybe
the second closes more
look at this, it's all up and down
it's crazy! You touch the brake
for this double left curve
narrow, wide, again narrow
and then look here: curve to be done full
towards left
5th
brake, slow down for this big left curve,
uphill
also this one is done
full gas
the you hit the brakes,
for the last curve
safety system has turned on
this is a road car, not for the track so it's normal
to have these systems
And this was the Castillolì track lap
my god what a track! Beautiful
Wow, the track test really surprised me both
because this track is awesome
and because I did not expect such a stable set-up
and such an enjoyable driving on the track
anyway, this car will be available from the beginning of February
I won't tell you the price
because the official price lists have not been released
I'm tempted to put fake glasses and moustache on and ask if they let me in again
Also this review
is over. I hope you liked this video
and that you managed to understand all the information on this car
if you didn't watch the vlog
I did on these two days, I've linked it here below. Go watch it
'cause it's been very cool.
Thank you Kia, thank you for watching
see you at the next review! Bye
