19 Jul 2022|3,007 views
The facelifted Kia XCeed for the U.K. market has been revealed.
On the exterior, the new Kia XCeed will feature new LED headlamps, a revised grille, new front bumper and an innovative air intake design.
Fog lamps have been ingeniously integrated into the head lights, helping to include air curtains on either side which guide air smoothly around the wheels, reducing drag and improving fuel efficiency.
The Kia XCeed will ride on dedicated 18-inch alloys designed specifically to appeal to the CUV segment target audience.
When it comes to the engines, the Kia XCeed will get rev-happy, turbocharged petrol engines, the majority of which will have mild hybrid technology, while a plug-in hybrid powertrain will also be available.
The first engine is a three-cylinder 1.0-litre T-GDI engine that delivers 118bhp and 172Nm of torque, while a four-cylinder 1.5-litre T-GDI engine will also be offered, producing 158bhp and 253Nm of torque.
For those who foresee themselves doing longer miles on the regular, they will certainly want to consider the frugal diesel mild hybrid electric vehicle powertrain.
This 1.6-litre diesel engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission, delivering 134bhp and 280Nm of torque, or a generous 320Nm of torque with the seven-speed dual-clutch version.
And for those looking to further improve their green credentials, the plug-in hybrid powertrain is also available, delivering 139bhp and 265Nm and a purely electric range of 48km.
Engineers have not forgotten about ride and handling too. The Kia XCeed now comes with front hydraulic rebound stoppers fitted as standard.
These will help to provide an even more compliant ride over poor surfaces with large suspension shocks absorbed with ease. Expect more responsive steering and more controlled body roll in the process.
A new 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen with navigation, Bluetooth, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay comes standard Spring rates have been softened by 7% in the front and 4% in the rear to deliver greater comfort and stability regardless of conditions.
In the cabin, a new 10.25-inch touchscreen navigation system with Bluetooth multi-connection, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come as standard.
On the options list is also a fully digital, 12.3-inch Supervision instrument cluster than has a number of graphical themes which alter in response to selected driving modes.
The Kia XCeed will also get a new GT-line trim, which brings more power to the Kia XCeed lineup. It boasts a more edgy tiger nose which better frames the new front grille along with a sportier lower air intake and side bumper cladding.
At the rear, strikingly designed hexagonal shaped LED taillights and a sporty body-coloured lower diffuser complete the GT look which separates it from lesser models.
The more eager 1.6-litre T-GDI engine found in the Ceed and ProCeed GT will also feature in the GT-line XCeed, with 201bhp and 265Nm of torque across a wide rev range. Along with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, expect the GT-line XCeed to achieve a zero to 100km/h sprint time of 7.5 seconds.
