Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDI LS Road Test Report

Performance

This is certainly a lively unit sprinting from 0-60mph in no time at all, whilst returning good fuel economy. Almost effortless to drive, I found the Cee’d a surprisingly enjoyable ride, and the steering extremely light. It was very comfortable on all roads with plenty of grip and agility.

Ride & Handling

The electronic power steering was so light it nearly lacked any feel at all! The Cee’d delivered a smooth ride and easily eats up the motorway miles.

Build Quality & Reliability

Kia has come on in leaps and bounds over the past 10 years and the build quality of the Cee’d exceeds every expectation from the solid sound of the doors being shut to the grab handles inside dampening the movements.

Safety & Security

With airbags galore you can’t doubt this KIA’s approach to safety.

Space & Practicality

What’s the definition of Roomy? That would be the Kia Cee’d. This car is generous both on leg and head room, and has 60/40 split rear seats allowing for those long loads i.e Christmas tree transportation!

Ownership & Value

For the money, with the Cee’d you’re in for a Brucey Bonus. With 16 inch alloys,USB/auxillary inputs & ipod compatibility as standard, it really puts those rivals in their place. Plus that unbeatable warranty which is a clear indication of KIA’s belief in it’s products.
