2024 Kia XCeed GT Line | Interior and Exterior Review [4K] HDR

Angekündigt wurde das Fahrzeug bereits im Februar 2019.[1] Ein erstes Bild des XCeed wurde am 5. Juni 2019 veröffentlicht,[2] am 26. Juni 2019 wurde er schließlich offiziell vorgestellt.[3] Am 21. September 2019 kam das Modell zu den Händlern.[4] Eine überarbeitete Version wurde im Juli 2022 präsentiert. Sie kam im September 2022 in den Handel.[5]
Seit Februar 2020 wird der XCeed auch mit dem aus dem Niro bekannten Plug-in-Hybrid-Antrieb angeboten. Hierbei liegt der Akkumulator unter der Rücksitzbank, weshalb auch das Kofferraumvolumen von 426 auf 291 Liter sinkt.
The Kia Ceed (known as the Kia Cee'd before 2018) is a compact car produced by the South Korean manufacturer Kia since 2006 exclusively for the European market. The Ceed was first unveiled on 28 September 2006 at the Paris Motor Show. In mid-2007, a station wagon version called the Cee'd sw was launched followed by the three-door Pro Cee'd in late 2007. From 2009 to 2010, Kia dropped the apostrophe of the Pro Cee'd and changed the model name to Pro Ceed.[1][2] The second generation of the Cee'd was presented at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. At the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, Kia presented the third generation Ceed. In early 2019, a shooting brake version of the Ceed was launched, called the Proceed.[3] In September 2019, Kia also unveiled the XCeed, a crossover SUV based on the third generation Ceed.
It is the first Kia vehicle to be designed entirely in Europe and tailored to European customers. To mark the occasion, Kia took the initials of the European Economic Community, EEC or CEE in several languages and added ED for European Design. Realizing that "CEEED" had too many ‘E's, they replaced the last 'E' with an apostrophe, with 'Cee'd' being the end result. Since 2018, the Ceed name does not include an apostrophe. The initials now mean "Community of Europe, with European Design".[4] The model has been manufactured at the Kia Motors Slovakia assembly plant in Žilina since October 2006.[5] The Ceed replaced the Cerato which had little success in Europe, and is positioned between the Rio supermini (B-segment) and the Optima mid-size car (D-segment).
The third-generation Ceed was announced in February 2018 and revealed ahead of the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The estate version was announced in March and officially revealed at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The production of the hatchback started in May 2018 and the car became available in June. The production of the estate version started in summer 2018.
The Cee'd became Kia's best selling European model from 2007 to 2011, strongly outperforming sales of its predecessor, the Cerato-and the previous best selling model, the Picanto-with sales of between 90,000 and 150,000 units per year.[23][24][25] In 2008, the cee'd represented 44% of Kia's total sales volumes in Europe.[25][26] Sales benefited from the innovative seven years' warranty-the first such warranty ever to be offered on any vehicle marketed in Europe.[27]
