That 7 year warranty is a huge pull, and with Kia's reputation for reliability, it's a solid all round package..... Very practical, well equipped and solidly built... Personally I prefer this over the ProCeed. The Skoda Octavia might run the Ceed a close second in several areas, but it doesn't offer an extended 4 or 5 year warranty unless you pay for it.... The Kia 7 year reassurance comes with the car from new....
What a brilliant family practical car,I like the fact it has an analogue, real dashboard and you are in full control when driving. I must check one of these out. Cheers Dave.
Does anyone own the 1.0 tgdi? I would like to buy it but I'm afraid that you have to push it to make it go, especially on roads with slopes (for example on mountain roads). Experiences?
No hybrid I don’t think. It’s decreased power to suit emissions for Euro 7 for 2025 and now all new cars being built now have moved to 2025 spec engine which is rubbish. I ordered a proceed in April and is only getting built now so will have the 138 engine not the 160 I ordered 🙁
@@JonnyMc7 i hope 138 engine has some better turbo as my 160 has a massive lag from start, bot once its moving its for sure alright and fun, passing other cars especially is great.
@@eisi-x7n i was doing my kia service and talked with sales manager, he confirmed that engine is the same and that power feels the same, however he saidthat 103kw engine for some reason is louder
"EXACTLY" "would not consider any estate without one"",, stuck on side of road, tyre spray fix can, putting your family in danger, it should be illegal. Who needs "Lane Assist".

Just in time, I am just looking at these

Thanks for the review, have the DCT version on order.
I have seen some i30 tourers for around the same price with a significantly better MPG and insurance
Another great video, Dave. The Sportwagon definitely ticks a lot of boxes for people.
Ive had a 1.0 turbo gt line since 2019..brilliant ..no problems.
Great video. Pick mine up next week
Good car.
can anyone explain to me (1) does this have mild-hybrid? (2) why decrease in power from 160ps to 140ps with same engine?

Engine has the same torque though, so in most situations you wonˋt miss the 20 bhp.

Sparewheel?

Check at your dealer as it can vary based on trim level, engine type (no spare wheel for hybrids) and country.
Mines a 2018 with spare wheel...pretty sure new models don't have them but you can buy aftermarket
