The first Kia Cee’d was launched back in 2006 and proved to be a popular success as earlier this year the one millionth model was rolled out of the production factory. The Cee’d has received a wide variety of updates including new styling, new technology and an ultra-efficient engine whilst maintaining its great value for money.
Updated Looks
The exterior has been updated with new unique features and refreshed front and rear bumpers. At the front the wider bumper retains the “tiger nose” grille along with chrome highlights and new headlights that swoop around to the side of the car. Take a look around the rear at the wider bumper with sporty reflectors above the two shiny chrome exhausts.
Improved Interior Quality
Inside the Cee’d is a spacious cabin that can easily sit four adults very comfortably and a boot space capacity of 380 litres can hold any large sized luggage. Subtle improvements to the interior are evident with new digital instrument cluster and chrome highlights around the dashboard giving the Cee’d a more luxury appeal.
Efficiency Upgrade
The new engine is a 1.0-litre 3 cylinder ecoTurbo and it is largely impressive, you are able to cruise around the roads in vibration free, quiet harmony. Depending on the model you choose the new engine unit can put out either 99bhp or 118bhp although both versions relatively have similar characteristics.
You won’t be taking many trips to the petrol station due to the new engine’s 60.1mpg fuel economy, which is a massive improvement compared to the old 1.4-litre engine with just 47mpg. Kia has also brought a more advanced seven speed dual-clutch gearbox to the Cee’d range.
Feel the road beneath you like never before; Kia has given improving the ride quality in the Cee’d with revised hardware underneath so you can enjoy a very comfortable drive.
Overall the new new Kia Cee’d has defiantly received an update which could bring the car up to the two millionth production mark in the future. If you would like to take a look at the 2015 Kia Cee'd and take it for a spin visit Howards Kia Weston-super-Mare.
