Kia Ceed - Sowing Success in the UK Market
Summary
Kia has firmly established its Ceed model in the UK car market, with its standout feature being an impressive warranty package. You might tire of the car before the warranty expires, but the overall package may just convince you to consider another Kia.---
Kia Ceed: A Strong Contender in the UK
Kia has firmly established its Ceed model in the UK car market. One of its standout features is the exceptional warranty package, which often becomes a talking point. Interestingly, you might tire of the car before the warranty ends!
While this might seem a bit harsh, the new Kia Ceed is such a well-rounded package that you might actually consider buying another one. Just as Hyundai owners appreciated the five-year warranty from the Korean manufacturer, Kia steps it up with an incredible seven-year, 100,000-mile warranty on the Ceed. This makes selling the car second-hand much easier, as buyers can enjoy the remaining warranty. The Ceed, launched in the UK in February, is probably Kia’s most significant release yet, taking over from the slightly less popular Cerato.
European Design for European Roads
Designed and built in Europe, specifically at a state-of-the-art factory in Slovakia, the Ceed is targeted exclusively at the European market. It boasts a sleek Euro hatchback design, making it a strong contender among rivals like the Focus, Golf, Astra, and Megane. A three-door version is on the way, and there’s even been a convertible concept to entice more buyers.
Packed with Features
Beyond the impressive warranty, Kia aims to win converts with standard features that include active head restraints for the driver and front passenger, air conditioning with a cooled glovebox, and USB, AUX, and MP3 capabilities on all but the entry-level models.
Performance and Comfort
Our test drive of the 1.6 diesel model revealed a blend of decent performance and good fuel economy. The clutch and five-speed gearbox are impressively synchronized, allowing for smooth gear changes. The brakes are effective, and while some body roll is noticeable during spirited cornering, the overall setup is user-friendly.
The ride is comfortable, absorbing road imperfections well. The seats, while not overly supportive, are comfortable enough for long journeys. With a wide track, long wheelbase, and tall roofline, the Ceed offers ample room for five adults and a generous luggage space.
Affordability and Specs
The Ceed is competitively priced, starting at under £11,000. Our test vehicle, an LS spec model with a 1.6 CRDi engine, was priced at £14,245. It performed admirably, with its 115bhp and 255Nm of torque providing satisfactory acceleration.
Interior and Features
The interior is functional, featuring an informative central panel and lights indicating if rear-seat passengers are buckled up?"a thoughtful, albeit slightly unnecessary, addition.
Aiming High
Kia is targeting a three percent share of the UK market with 100,000 annual sales?"a realistic ambition, given the Ceed's promising start.
In summary, the Kia Ceed is more than just a warranty. It's a strong choice for those seeking a reliable, feature-packed vehicle at a competitive price. With its firm roots now in the UK market, it's poised for growth.
