A European top-seller, the new Kia cee’d has been redesigned and re-engineered to create a breath-taking second generation model.
From £12,295
Featuring the latest version of the company’s signature grille, the new Kia cee’d range incorporates a host of exterior and interior design refinements, upgraded standard equipment and technical innovations. The cee’d also gets a fully-revised suspension set-up.
Significantly, the new cee’d heralds a reduction in fuel consumption with the introduction of ‘Intelligent Stop and Go’ ECO-dynamics version, available for the first time in the UK, with CO2 emissions reduced to 110 g/km. On average emissions are down by five per cent across the cee’d line-up.
Slightly longer and with a more distinctive appearance, the new cee’d has a stronger road presence. Revised interior includes a new-style steering wheel and gear lever, all-red instrument illumination, a new centre console and new audio systems, plus dual-zone climate control air-conditioning.
Technical innovations include fuel-stretching ISG technology on the 1.6-litre diesel engines for the first time, a “hill-holder” function for the ESP and brighter projection-style headlamps. The new ‘U2’ 1.6-litre diesel engine will be matched to a new six-speed manual transmission.
Of course, the new cee’d will continue to be backed by the company’s unique 7-Year Warranty.
All of this from £10,995 for the 1.4 cee'd Strike Special Edition.
