Exterior Design
We start off at the front of the hatchback, with the signature 'tigers-nose' grille featuring a gloss black mesh making up the honeycomb pattern and a polished chrome surround. The Ceed consists of really sharp and sporty lines, the front LED headlights and daytime runners are integrated into the bonnet line to give the Ceed a really dynamic and fluid shape. Elegant body creases run the full length of the flanks, all the way round to the rear of the car. A smooth roofline meets an elegantly styled spoiler, sitting above some really neatly designed rear lights. The tail lights are presented in a wrap-around configuration, smoothly integrated into the boot door and the gradual slopes of the wheel arches.
Interior Design
What would normally be expected when looking at a hatchback and an estate would be drastic differences in space but Kia have cleverly engineered their Ceed models so that both offer a class leading amount of cabin space. Kia have focused on a quality build, with smart design and premium materials. A clearly laid out dashboard can be found in both. Ergonomically designed, the layout is focused on the driver experience and making it as easy and enjoyable as possible. The comfort is enhanced by the multi-adjustable drivers seat and steering column, whilst the three-spoke, leather-wrapped, multi-functioning steering wheel sits comfortably underhand. Clean, smart and uncomplicated detailing makes the interior of both, an easy and calm experience. Soft touch materials adorn all aspects of the cabins, whilst the generous amounts of head and legroom make it a comfortable experience for all passengers and a low and unintrusive transmission tunnel means even the middle seat passenger will be able to sit comfortably.
The Cee’d and the Sportswagon both have the same interior designs. Both have a key focus on luxury, quality and practicality and feature so many storage spaces including an air-conditioned glove box, very large door bins and cupholders. The external difference is predominantly the length, where the SW gains in the rear, and so the interior difference is understandably located in the back of the car and predominantly alters the boot space.
