New powertrains and performance improvement;
The new 1.5 liter T-GDi engine is produced in Kia’s Slovakia plant - also home to the production of the Ceed family. This new Smartstream engine, which replaces the previous 1.4 liter T-GDi, is paired either to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission (7DCT) or a 6-speed manual transmission (6MT) and delivers 160PS while offering reduced emissions. The new 1.5T engine is also available as MHEV while diesel Ceed, delivering 136PS, is only available as a mild-hybrid that can be paired with either the intelligent manual transmission (iMT) or 7DCT transmissions.
The new Ceed range offers buyers a fully comprehensive choice of powertrain configurations, including a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and mild-hybrid engines (MHEV), with horsepower ranging from 100PS to 204PS. Ceed customers are also presented with a choice of turbo charged petrol and diesel engines, the 1.0 and 1.5 liter petrol and the 1.6 liter diesel, powertrains all benefitting from Kia’s Smartstream technology.
The Smartstream engine technology incorporates Kia’s Continuously Variable Valve Duration (CVVD) engine technology to optimize performance. CVVT also serves to improve fuel efficiency alongside the Low-Pressure Exhaust Gas Recirculation (LP EGR), which returns some of the hot gases produced by the engine to the combustion chamber to reduce pumping losses and improve fuel economy.
The latest updates to Ceed also introduce MHEV and DCT technology to the 1.0 turbo charged petrol engine for the first time, to provide customers with the option of further reducing powertrain emissions. The adoption of MHEV technology improved fuel efficiency and performance.
Top of the range GT models are presented with an exclusive 1.6 liter T-GDi engine with a unique sound. The petrol engine is mated to the 7DCT and delivers a huge 204PS.
The experience behind the wheel can be further tailored to suit the driver’s mood and road conditions via paddle-shift levers and three drive modes: Eco, Comfort and Sport modes. The GT Sports drive mode is specifically tuned to the needs of the GT driver’s expectations.
Ceed models are also available with the standard six-speed manual transmission and the highly desired double-clutch transmission.
Design
A completely redesigned front end features Kia's new logo, a simplified graphic of the company name that reflects the ethos 'movement that inspires'. Special attention has been given to make each variant (including GT Line and GT versions) more unique and distinct from each other.
The iconic tiger-nose grille, which makes the Ceed a recognisable Kia, is upgraded to a black gloss finish with satin chrome upper and lower wing-shaped garnish for a sleek and modern appearance. To the sides, two large side air intakes shoot through the front bumper creating the sportier look.
The very latest ADAS developments
The rejuvenated Ceed range offers class-leading levels of safety, driving convenience and parking technologies thanks to its enhanced suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). They help to reduce many of the inherent hazards and stresses of driving, protecting occupants and other road users on every journey.
Safety features have been improved, such as the previous blind-spot warning, which is replaced by an active avoidance technology. When operating the turning signal to change lanes, if there is a risk of collision with a rear side vehicle, the new Blind-spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA) will provide a warning. After the warning, if the risk of collision increases, BCA actively controls the vehicle to help avoid a collision.
The renewed Ceed family will go into production at Kia's European manufacturing plant in Žilina, Slovakia this August and will be available across Europe by Q4.
Full UK specifications and pricing will be announced shortly before sales commence in the UK later this year.
