The new Kia Ceed in Ashington Northumberland

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.

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.
