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.
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....
Funny how these specs differ per country. I am from the Netherlands and I have the 1.0 T-GDi MHEV DCT7. Drives very nicely and has some torque because of the MHEV part. They don’t seem to sell the MHEV anymore though, a PHEV is available. We do still have GT(plus) lines here, also automatic boot opening, digital cockpit, wireless phone charging, heated seats/steering wheel, blind spot monitoring, reverse collision assist. Almost feels like the UK versions are very stripped down… Very good review! I highly recommend this car as a budget friendly family vehicle.
What a great review from someone who does not have a hidden agenda (come on to that in a moment) and provides a clear and balanced view. I have ordered the Kia Ceed Sportswagon 3 DCT but only having read many reviews and watched many videos that were awful and thank god I didn't rely on them. Some of the reviews gave incorrect information, wrong spec details and lots more with one even stating 'this car doesn't even have 'any' parking sensors', which is completely false. Of course this journalist was pushing towards two other makes of vehicle. After watching this video I am now completely satisfied that I have chosen the right vehicle. I am leaving a Toyota Corolla Touring Sports 2.0 hybrid. A nice car but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone and for a Japanese car the infotainment system/Sat Nav was appalling. On a decent Motorway run I'd average 53 mpg. Not overly comfortable and not as much room as in the Kia Ceed Sportswagon but I need it as I have a dog and then there's the nine grandchildren :) happy days. Thanks for the review and taking the time to produce it. I'll provide an update when I have mine.
I've got a 24 plate dct, nice drive, apart from all the alarms that keep going off, i get all the bongs , so annoying. The only thing about it's looks is the filler cap cover, it doesn't seem to gel into the body's lines somehow.
I've got a dct version this August and love it. Replaced a Nissan Juke Tekna. Slightly smaller engine but accelerates better. Just wish i could find a way to turn all the speed limit and you've crossed a white line alarms off. Guess i should read the handbook. If you require a full size spare that 3 section storage area under the rear cargo area is removable where the floor pivots at the rear of the storage tray.
the manual gearbox is awful clutch bite is far too low, the auto wasn't available when I got mine but I've heard that many problems with the dct I am glad I didn't, not enough power with no MHEv should have been a 2.0 diesel.
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".
Got mine in August 2024, no spare. I removed that 3 pocket tray under the boot floor nearest the rear seats. Bought a full sized alloy and retaining bolt to secure it. It does need a little support placed on top of the spare wheel to support that part of the floor afterwards though. Afterall if you get a puncture and was fully loaded where would you otherwise put the wheel that you have taken off ?
Ceedsw phev 1.6 2024 is the most shit car ever produced across all brands (for the look and technology), totally worthless at least for the price one pays for the variant with petrol (phev), unfortunately i am owner of it😢 ,feel like "homer simpson" when driving (Belgium)

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
Perfect dog car. Cheap, economical, good infotainment, doesn’t matter if dog scratches here or there as so cheap, boot big enough for big crate

Thanks for the review, have the DCT version on order.
Is it economical?

@@dragospahontu About 7.5-8 L/100 km in mostly city driving with ac always on
@dmukherjee8463 pretty good
Just in time, I am just looking at these
I have seen some i30 tourers for around the same price with a significantly better MPG and insurance
the manual gearbox is awful clutch bite is far too low, the auto wasn't available when I got mine but I've heard that many problems with the dct I am glad I didn't, not enough power with no MHEv should have been a 2.0 diesel.
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.

Good car.
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
