The new Kia XCeed and Ceed Sportswagon Plug-in Hybrids offer a compelling alternative to conventional gasoline and diesel models. The new powertrain combines an 8.9 kWh lithium-polymer battery pack, a 44.5 kW electric motor, and an efficient 1.6-litre ‘Kappa’ four-cylinder GDI (gasoline direct injection) engine. The powertrain’s total power and torque output is 141 ps and 265 Nm, enabling the Ceed Sportswagon to accelerate from 0-to-100 kph in 10.8 seconds, and the Kia XCeed in 11.0 seconds.
The powertrain is paired with a six-speed double-clutch transmission (6DCT), allowing drivers to shift gear for themselves, ensuring a more enjoyable drive than other hybrid vehicles equipped with electronic continuously-variable transmissions (e-CVT). Traditional e-CVT hybrids convert a portion of engine output through the electric motor, resulting in power losses from energy conversion. Kia’s 6DCT differs by allowing the full output of both the engine and motor to be transferred in parallel through the transmission, with minimal loss of energy.
Standard regenerative braking technology allows the new Plug-in Hybrid models to harvest kinetic energy and recharge their battery packs while coasting or braking, further enhanging the overall efficiency of the powertrain.
Kia is targeting an all-electric range of around 60 kilometres for both vehicles, enabling drivers to complete the majority of daily drives and short commutes on electric power alone. CO2 emissions for the new Plug-in Hybrid variants are pending homologation and will be revealed prior to start-of-sales.
Both vehicles are equipped with Kia’s new Virtual Engine Sound System, an audible warning system which activates in electric-only mode at low speeds or when reversing. The system generates virtual sound levels of up to 59 dBA to safely notify pedestrians of the car’s presence.
Both new models feature their own distinctive design features to differentiate them from other gasoline and diesel models in the Kia XCeed and Ceed Sportswagon line-ups.
Each car has a new closed ‘tiger-nose’ grille at the front of the car to aid aerodynamic efficiency, and Sportswagon models feature distinct ‘eco plug-in’ exterior badges. The charging port is integrated into the left front wing of each car. Equipped as standard with 16-inch aluminium alloy wheels, each model gets its own new wheel design, and optional 17-inch wheels (Ceed Sportswagon) and 18-inch wheels (XCeed) are available. The Ceed Sportswagon is specially fitted with bumpers from the Ceed Sportswagon GT-Line models, aiding air flow and providing a sportier overall appearance.
Inside, the sporty cabin design retains the same driver-oriented dashboard, low seating position and everyday ergonomics of the existing Ceed line-up. However, the new Plug-in Hybrid models feature a range of new functionalities to enhance usability for owners looking to extract the most out of the new powertrain.
Both cars offer Kia’s 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment, or an optional 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment and navigation system with Kia’s UVO Connect telematics. Unique to the new Plug-in Hybrid variants, the systems incorporate new functionality to help owners locate available charging points in their vicinity, or en route to their navigation destination. The screens can also show relevant information relating to the powertrain, displaying remaining charge levels in the battery and energy usage graphics. Furthermore, owners can use the touchscreen system to schedule when their vehicle should charge when plugged in at home, enabling owners to take advantage of cheaper off-peak energy tariffs. Both infotainment systems offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, while the optional 10.25-inch touchscreen navigation system features Bluetooth multi-connection, enabling occupants to connect two mobile devices at once.
The 8.9 kWh battery pack is located alongside the 37-litre fuel tank beneath the rear bench, unlike many other plug-in hybrid vehicles, in which the battery pack takes up valuable cargo space. As a Plug-in Hybrid, the Ceed Sportswagon - the most practical iteration of the Ceed range - provides 437 litres of luggage space, and up to 1,506 litres with the 40:20:40 split-fold rear seats folded down. Luggage capacity in the Kia XCeed Plug-in Hybrid is 291 litres, growing to 1,243 litres with the rear folded down. There is a dedicated space beneath the boot floor of each car to store the charging cable when not in use.

I get why you never criticise any of the cars because the dealers you are reviewing the cars in would not let you back. You should just pitch your channel more on them being 'walk throughs' of car features as you don't 'review' cars. Not everything can be "super awesome" but I do learn things from your videos.

[@SDADanCars]

Actually Xceed it is a cool car and I like it ...probably you didn't see all my Reviews Hector ...I did say as well things that I dont like but in a nicely matter if you pay attention. I dont construct my videos on criticism. It is not true what you are saying....but I have to improve my Reviews for sure . Thanks for tip 👍

[@slugger7440]

@@SDADanCars I do enjoy your videos dude. I just don't think they're highly critical.

[@SDADanCars]

Yes I know what you mean, I will try to point out the bad things better in future 👍 Thanks by the way for watching my videos 🙂🙏

[@kylelopez9779]

when are you not impressed ? that’s the question....

[@SDADanCars]

Good question Kyle .......

[@unexplainedwearenotalone3537]

X suv is amazing all talks good for this small suv and now u proof true.

[@SDADanCars]

Yes 👍

[@fabriceduchenne7237]

Very Cool 👍 Crossover Xceed by KIA 🚙 Thank You So Much 🌍

[@SDADanCars]

Thank you for watching my videos and for feedback ✌🙏🙂👍

[@alltiallo]

Thank you for the review. Is this sponsoref by Kia? :P

[@SDADanCars]

Also Thanks for feedback 🙏👍 I never received money from any company for my videos

[@josephrossi4062]

You are only one of few reviewer on youtube that think acceleration is good. I hope so, because I bought this car.

[@SDADanCars]

Giuseppe depend with what car you compare it… for what the car it is and price power engine it is good 👍

[@josephrossi4062]

@@SDADanCars l'ill compare with my old Fiat Bravo (1.9 mjet 120cv). I can't wait for the xceed to be delivered to me.... It's so beautiful, but I'm a little bit scared about performance (I don't want them to be too different from the Bravo).

[@zalanocsko154]

hi thanks for the video :) what do you think which is quieter, this kia or a volkswagen passat hybrid?

[@SDADanCars]

Zalan I think depend on which Kia ...the new Kia's are same good as vw cars....dont think you will notice difference 👍

[@Carpediem1312]

Can you compare with eNiro. What is better on which car in terms of driving comfort (suspension and Noise)

[@SDADanCars]

I will try to make a video with them soon. I like more XCeed to be honest, at least the exterior design. But probably I will go full electric with e Niro 🙂👍

[@Cosmopolitm]

Between Mazda 3 Sedan and this model, which one you choose?

[@SDADanCars]

Hard to chose one Rosso, both are good cars, maybe me personal with xceed but also Mazda 3 it is super nice. It is just a matter of taste

[@Cosmopolitm]

@@SDADanCars thanks a lot

[@SDADanCars]

You are welcome also thanks for watching my videos and hope you get the best decision 👍👍🙂Good luck

[@justinjensen5126]

please review the kia sportwagon hybrid seat plug in

[@SDADanCars]

I will try my best 👍 seat I already have one 👍

[@elliex20]

I have seen some of your "reviews" but you never criticize the cars you "review". It is difficult to get a critical view of a car from your review, unfortunately. However, one can still see a thing or two anyway from the videos.

[@SDADanCars]

Thanks for feedback 👍

[@snapsfromjass]

I like it, but why does every car need fake exhausts

[@SDADanCars]

Good question my friend. I think they should reinvent the design, maybe people still get use to see it there 🙂

[@mohammedrahim5457]

Is this self charge do alwyas have to plug it in

[@SDADanCars]

Rahim it is also self changing while driving 👍🙂

[@mohammedrahim5457]

Don't no if I should buy the 1.4 how good it is if it pick up speed

[@SDADanCars]

It is fine ...go Test Drive it and see if you like it 👍

[@SteveGisthebest80]

It would have been perfect with 2.0 liter engine that sits in kia optima phev. 1.6 is just to weak.

[@SDADanCars]

👍

[@eliasbartos]

Hi, I have a KIA CEED PHEV 2022. I'm very disappointed how the hybrid system works. If it low temperature outside (below 10 C) then the petrol engine always starts if the so if im driving under 10km it never runs purly on electricity. Or if the AC is runing the petrol engien starts. So the petrol enginen is always running when heating or cooling... My advise, dont buy a KIA

[@SDADanCars]

Thanks for feedback 👍

[@BASH_ANGEL]

Be more professional in reviewing cars. Avoid being like a small boy talking with excitement with all "i love it, i like-i like-i like, it's fantastic, awesome, it's super good, super nice"... Please talk a like mature man in doing reviews. It's turning me off. You are supposed to review with all pros and cons. Not to sell the car with all superlative compliments! It's up for the viewers to make the judgment based on the pros and cons of the car.

[@SDADanCars]

Thanks for tip Aros 👍👍
