The new Kia Ceed in Dunstable Bedfordshire

From school runs to weekend adventures, the Ceed gets you there in style. This striking family hatchback has impressive dynamics, powered by a 1.5 T-GDi ISG 158bhp petrol engine or 1.6 CRDi ISG 134bhp diesel engine. A reversing camera, rear parking sensors, cruise control and Lane Keeping Assist are standard features, and you can access vehicle data and view your Ceed’s location with the free Kia Connect (UVO) app. All this is wrapped up in a sporty, elegant body that fits in everywhere. Choose from two trims – ‘3’ and GT-Line. 3 kicks things off with subdued styling, 17” alloys, power-folding door mirrors, a 10.25” touchscreen with navigation, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. GT-Line adds sporty styling with gloss black details, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, half faux leather seats, a leather D-Cut steering wheel with grey stitching and push-button start with Smart Entry System.

The All-New Kia Ceed made its public debut at the Geneva International Motor Show in March. The wraps came off the lower, wider body, to reveal an athletic new design.

Performance

Under the bonnet, the Kia Ceed offers a 140ps 1.4 T-GDi as well as a 120ps 1.0 T-GDi and a 100ps 1.0 MPi petrol engine. In terms of diesel powertrains, there's an all-new 1.6 CRDi that comes with 115ps or 100ps and advanced emissions technology to comply with the latest emissions standards. All cars come with a 6-speed manual. A 7-speed DCT is offered on 1.4 T-GDi and 1.6 CRDi variants.

The new independent suspension delivers impressive handling and agility while keeping things comfortable. There's also a Drive Mode Select System that lets you switch between Normal and Sport modes depending on your mood.

Interior

On the inside, the Ceed is more ergonomic than ever, and with higher- quality materials used throughout and even more space for passengers. The 'floating' infotainment system is available with up to an 8.0-inch touchscreen navigation system with Kia Connected Services powered by TomTom. The system also boasts Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The generous standard equipment list even includes full Bluetooth, smartphone integration, as well as automatic lights and keyless entry. A wireless smartphone charger, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats are also available. And, for the first time in a Kia, a heated front windscreen is offered.

Safety

There's lots of safety kit as standard, too. And, in another first for a European Kia, the All-New Ceed is available with Lane Following Assist, a 'Level Two' autonomous driving technology.

This keeps the car in its lane and controls acceleration, braking and steering, while sensors maintain a safe distance.

Design

The Ceed’s elegant profile, sleek body lines, LED daytime running lights and 17” alloy wheels give it real sophistication. GT-Line models have a gloss black front grille and rear spoiler with upgraded half faux leather upholstery and a sporty steering wheel.

Drive

Turbocharged petrol and diesel engines provide excellent performance and efficiency, with the 1.5 T-GDi ISG 158bhp engine returning up to 49.6mpg combined. The ride is comfortable and the handing sharp for smooth, pleasant adventures.

Practicality

The 395-litre boot (357-litres in diesel models due to the 48v battery) is big enough for a pram travel system or two large suitcases. The rear seats split-fold 60-40 by pulling a tab, and GT-Line models have Smart Entry System for easy access.

Living with it

Parking is made easy thanks to rear parking sensors and a reversing camera, as is cruising thanks to cruise control and Lane Keeping Assist. GT-Line models have heated front seats and a heated steering wheel for ultimate comfort.
