This is the all-new KIA Ceed. The Korean firms take on the 5-door family hatchback. Here are the top 10 things you need to know about it.
1.Styling
A sharper face, a new back-end gives the new seed a sporty look than the car it replaces.
2. Engines
The Ceed gets a choice of three petrol and two diesel engines. These include a 140 horsepower 1.4-liter turbo petrol and an all-new 1.6-liter diesel with either 115 horsepower and 136 horsepower.
3. Interior
Inside the Ceed gets a neat interior layout with a sporty steering wheel and soft squidgy plastics. Boot space is 15 liters more than the old cars at 395 liters which is more space than you get with a Volkswagen Golf but less than a Honda Civic.
4. Space
The new Ceed is wider than the old car so you be able to carry three passengers in the back without them fighting over the shoulder room.
5. Driving
Kia has turned the seat chassis to suit European buyers. Apparently gets more direct steering than the old car and fully independent rear suspension for sharper handling something. You don’t get on many of the car’s rivals.
6. Infotainment
You’ll be able to get three touch screens. The biggest one measures 8 inches and comes with satellite navigation, music, fans can spec up an upgraded sound system by JBL just like you get in a Ferrari GT see fall or sow.
7. Autonomy
The Ceed is the first Kia sold in Europe to get level 2 autonomous driving. This means it can follow the speed of the traffic and even change lanes itself to avoid heavy traffic.
8. Eco
The new KIA is available with an eco pack, aerodynamic tweaks, lower suspension, and low-rolling-resistance tires should help improve the economy.
9. Name
KIA has removed the apostrophe in the car’s name so it’s less confusing. It’s now just C double ad the name stands for a community of Europe with European design. All of that will be rather hard to film the back of the car.
10. Prices
Yet to confirm UK prices for the new Ceed but expected to start for around 16 thousand pounds when it goes on sale this summer.
