A new Kia Ceed

Since its recent facelift, the Cee’d looks better than ever with a sharp new design. Crucially it’s also a better drive too. The new three cylinder 1.0 litre turbo petrol engine is nifty which, together with the light six-speed gearbox, makes for an easy and enjoyable ride. The steering is light which means you’ll have no trouble manoeuvring in and out of tight spaces in town, plus you’ll notice the punchiness of the sporty engine which gives plenty of power to zip along the motorway.

The Cee’d was awarded a maximum five stars for safety by Euro NCAP so you know you’re in safe hands. There’s also some clever bits of safety tech that have been added as part of the new update. These include a traffic sign recognition camera so that the speed limit can be clearly displayed to the driver and a blind spot warning. The Smart Parking Assist System enables the Cee’d to manoeuvre itself into a parking space - very handy if you’re not of a fan of tricky parallel parking!

There’s loads of space throughout this motor with plenty of legroom upfront and for your mates in the back, plus the high roofline means there will be no grumbling about headroom either. The boot has a huge 380 litres of space so there’s stacks of room for all your shopping or sports gear.

Inside, the Cee’d’s interior is sleek and handsome. The 7 inch touchscreen is stylish and easy to use and can be easily hooked up to your smartphone. It also houses the new Tom Tom Navigation system where you can access live traffic updates and speed camera alerts. There’s lots of crafty places to store your stuff in the Cee’d too including an expansive glovebox, huge door bins and storage area up front.

All Kias come with a whopping 7-year warranty which proves just how much confidence they place in their cars. It covers you for seven years or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first) but the first three years is unlimited. There’s also one year’s roadside assistance cover for all new cars giving you another all-important saving.
