Is it normal for a Kia ProCeed to have loud engine noises on cold start?

I recently purchased a Kia ProCeed and noticed that the engine makes a loud noise on cold start. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

Loud engine noises on cold start are a common issue with many cars, not just the Kia ProCeed. While it can be concerning, it is usually nothing to worry about. This is because the oil in the engine needs time to warm up and circulate before it can adequately lubricate the moving parts of the engine.

However, if the loud engine noises persist even after the car has warmed up, it could indicate a more serious issue. In this case, it is best to take your Kia ProCeed to a trusted mechanic for a diagnosis.
