Not my type of car (though a nice car!), but I'm a car-nut enthusiast and want to know about all cars - such a good video, entertaining, good music and edit, courteous and well-researched presenter - all so much nicer than any TV program, and we get so much detail that even if we went to the showroom and met a sensible salesperson and had a test drive, we wouldn't have learnt half as much as watching and listening to Thomas's comments on this video - many thanks Autogefuhl - so professional.

[@stevegrooms1142]

Years ago I expected Asian cars to do better in the European market than they have. They offer so much value and reliability. I think the virtues of Asian cars might be more appreciated since the two Korean makers--especially Kia--seem to be tailoring their offerings better for European tastes. I really enjoyed this review of this car.

[@dragospahontu]

Man be careful, Kia is super unreliable. Only Toyota and Subaru are ok.

Like the ProCeed GT-Line, and like "no blank switches" - but could not live with the firm ride for a family car (firm ride ok for sportscar or track car), and the interior looks cramped - Thomas looked cramped in the back: low seat, and knees in the air! Thank you Thomas for your great work.

[@drevald]

I've bought this exact Proceed trim & engine (except the color), and has driven 10.000km already, its a really great car for the price. The suspension setup is a little stiffer than the regular Ceed SW, which is a good thing, as the regular SW is a little dull to drive but the ProCeed is not :)

[@johnnyjan9479]

Great review Thomas and lovely car. I use STP air condition sanitiser to keep the air con fresh in my Tucson. Works a treat. :-)

[@autogefuehl]

Seems to be a good idea. How often do you (have to) use it? Can it be that Kia/Hyundai ACs are for some reason more prone to that issue? I also experienced that with Nissan cars btw.

[@AndrewKNI]

@@autogefuehl I would suggest once every 3 months for that new car freshness - it neutralises the bacteria in the ventilation and air con system. It can be used on any car, any age, and only takes 20 mins in total. Estimated cost 10 Euro or less!

[@autogefuehl]

Sounds good, is that this "bomb" system that you activate and then close the door? Does the chemical have any side effects?

[@AndrewKNI]

@@autogefuehl With engine running put all ventilation controls on cold and max, including air con, and switch to recirculation of air. Then place the can in back foot well, activate and close all doors and windows. The spray produced is only a light mist rather than 'bomb' effect. When completed, open all doors for 20 mins. I have had no ill effects, but do have a bacteria free and nice smelling car lol :-)

Cool!

[@Martin_Level47]

Nice review again Thomas 😊 A minor thing on the GT-Line. Usually a ceed come with static turninglight. That is not a option on the GT design on the new Ceed. Other than that, I torn between the beauty of this and the practicality of the SW. In my new job I will drive 40-50.000 km/year so the comfort is all so important 🤔

[@PetarChakarov]

You can get the Ceed SW GT Line, like I did. Face and interior is the same and slightly cheaper, you just miss on that "ass". You still get cool looking sporty back blinkers and nice looking albeit fake diffuser. For me, having a newborn and a mid-sized dog, the Proceed back was impractical. Let us know what you decided :)

[@aurelios69]

Hey Thomas, very great review, as well as previous one - Kia Ceed GT. I like your approach and comments. Good job again :) Just brief question: Do you think this engine 1.4 T-GDI + 7DCT automatic gearbox works better/same/worse then GT version - 1.6 T-GDI with 7DCT? Your opinion is valuable for me.

[@autogefuehl]

Appreciated! At least same, if not better

[@Erik101]

@@autogefuehl So swift answer! :) Danke schon :)

[@Darakesable]

@@Erik101 Hi I saw review when they have compared 1.4 and 1.6 and they said 1.4 is better paired with DTC than 1.6.

[@Erik101]

@@Darakesable hey Dominik I saw some reviews as well but I cannot agree especially when I had a chance to compare my 1,6TGDI (having it for last 4months) vs. 1.4TGDI of my colleague.Honestly speaking driving I would prefer 1,4 due to significantly lower consumption in the city but mid and high rpm range speaks for 1,6 pretty clear. Torque just slightly better, that's true, but power much higher that 1,4. I have optimized turque from default 265NM to increased 300NM by BSR chip and basically same power, dont see any consumption difference anyways, but I dont complain at all since mine got average consumption 7,9L/100km(pure city drive 8-9L) last 5000km. For 204ps car quite fair, isn't it?

[@Darakesable]

@@Erik101 Hello Erik, thank you for the response. Yes I am planing to buy Proceed but I cannot choose between 1.4 T-GDi and 1.6 T-GDi. Here in Slovakia we have just 2 trims GT (1.6) and GT-line (1.4) nothing else and GT-line lack some features like front parking sensors, split seats 40/20/40, jbl speakers etc. But when I see tests and 1.6 -have 2-3 liters more consumption I really thinking about getting 1.4 with GT-line. In some test the consumption is really close 1.4 have 6.9 liters and 1.6 8 liters. Other tests are like 6.5 and 10. Can you give me real life figures city/country roud/highway compare to your colleagues 1.4? I plan to drive 60 percent city, 30 percent highway and 10 percent country roads. I do not mind have 10 liters when having fun on twisty roads. But having long term 10 liters is little bit too much for my taske considering that my friend having Hyundai i30 with 1.4 T-GDi have 6.7 long term driving mainly City + sometimes Highway. Many thanks if you read my whole comment :)

I have 2016 Kia Rio and I too have sometimes noticed briefly a strange smell from the AC in the situation you described. Thought I might need AC cleaning but maybe it's normal feature after all then? I have even used an AC cleaner spraycan but after a while the smell came back. The spray itself did smell bad so I don't want to do that again :D

[@autogefuehl]

Indeed the smell is not good. Usually it is an indicator that the AC indeed needs cleaning. But I have experienced that with several new Kias and Hyundais, cant explain...

I have a Hyundai Elantra 1.6 turbo, and my only regret is that there was no estate/wagon version. Of course 250 horsepower would be better than 200, but it is hard to complain when talking about a 1.6-liter engine.

[@stefanvv9]

Vielleicht noch wichtig zu erwähnen: Ab September läuft das Ceed Modelljahr 2020 vom Band in der Slowakei. Mit dabei wäre beim ProCeed GT serienmäßig z.B. ein 12,3 Zoll großes volldigitales Cockpit und ein optionales 10 Zoll Display in der Mittelkonsole inkl. dem neuen UVO System, welches bereits vom E-Soul bekannt ist. Ein deutlicher Fortschritt ggü. dem hier getesteten Modell, alleine schon wegen der dann integrierten Simkarte inkl. 7 Jahre Updates und der besseren Sprachbedienung. Macht den Wagen meiner Meinung nach noch einmal wesentlich interessanter, wenn man sich zwischen diesem und dem CLA Shooting Brake entscheiden möchte. Letzterer ist auch sehr schön, übersteigt bei ähnlicher Motorleistung wie der GT und einer vergleichbaren Ausstattung leider ganz schnell die 50000 Euro Marke. Der Kia ProCeed GT mit 204 PS wird mit Vollausstattung eine UVP von ca. 37000 Euro haben. Mit den üblichen Rabatten sollten 32000 Euro realistisch sein. Das ist doch, meinem Empfinden nach, ein sehr fairer Preis! Die einzigen "Funktionen", die ich beim KIA im Vgl. zum CLA vermisse: Kein Ambilight, kein Head-Up Display, kein 2 Liter Motor bestellbar.

[@autogefuehl]

Interessant!

[@jessiemac7146]

+Stefan V - agree. And I like a Head Up Display, even a basic one (if it works!), because it is very useful for quickly seeing ACC set speed, interval and if the radar has locked on to a car in front - all without having to look down - a useful feature when using ACC...

[@mannaggaguz9620]

Thomas please tell me you would not choose this Kia Shooting Brake against the CLA?!! That would be like comparing your brilliant reviews (Captivating is the right description) with a few other reviewers I’m too polite to mention. I can also wear Bermudas and coordinate my top to the car and quote a few specifications and drive a car and talk about the drive (I am a retired driving instructor in the UK), but I could never give as good a review as you. You either have it or you don’t. The CLA Shooting Brake is definitely worth the premium. Keep Safe and thanks. P.S. If you are comparing the two brands how important is mentioning the CLA frameless doors which the Kia lacks?

[@drifter195]

Could you please replicate all the numbers you are telling (dimensions, power, consumption, etc) on the screen. It's really hard to grasp them sometimes, especially as they are in different units (which is OK). Thanks a lot for your great work! Keep it up.
