2023 Kia XCeed PRODUCTION Starts in Slovakia

The first examples of the new Kia XCeed compact crossover have rolled off the company’s production line in Žilina, Slovakia, kicking off the use of more efficient and sustainable production techniques in the factory.
The upgraded production line features 40 new advanced robots in the paint and assembly halls, part of a long-term plan to increase automation, efficiency, and compliance with the latest environmental standards. Regarding sustainability, Kia’s Slovakian facility uses 100 per cent renewable energy for its operations, while heat and water from the paint shop are recycled across the plant to cut waste.
All Kia models at Žilina are manufactured on the same production line, which further aids efficiency and helps it better respond to changing patterns of demand across the different model ranges. Along with the new XCeed, Žilina also manufactures other members of the Ceed model family along with the fifth-generation Sportage. The facility also assembles the ‘Smartstream’ 1.5-litre ‘Kappa’ gasoline and mild-hybrid powertrains, along with the 1.6-litre ‘Gamma’ T-GDi engine.
The new Kia XCeed available to order from September 2022

Did they finish the production of the 2022 version?

[@johnnypezona9513]

Nope! We (me+my family) didn't received our car as well as over 100 romanians so they transfered our orders to the new model. But they said that the first cars that they are going to produce are going to be for the people with this situation, the people that didn't get the 2022 version that they've ordered. They took our orders in the 1st of August and they said that this autumn (fall) we should get our cars and after that they will concentrate on making the cars for the masses/the rest of the population. This applies to other europeans with this situation. :)

@@johnnypezona9513 I ordered a Kia Sportage since February and I haven't received it yet.

I have received, that our xceed is now the way to us. So I think they finished now the older version, so they continue building the new one.
