I haven't been a fan of crossovers but today I test drove one of these and it was brilliant so I've traded my Avensis in for it, bought the Xceed 4 1.5 Petrol 158bhp manual in black paint, it's pretty quick, comfortable and quiet, the equipment level is insane too, it's a great car, forget about the badge people and test drive one
Hi Bob. How tall are you? I am planning to buy this model with a panoramic roof and I do not know if I will find the right driving position. My height is 193 cm.
The cost of a Sportage for the size of a Ceed. No bigger than a Ceed, no extra practicality, only the tiniest bit taller.. how exactly is this a crossover? Looks nice but the price is well off the mark.
Should've gone for a dip Bob! The water's the temperature of a bath at the moment. No need for a towel, you air dry in minutes! But don't worry. If Ireland keeps burning peat for power, you'll all be very toasty, very soon!
Well, I got no information about the car at all. How does it ride? How is the suspension? How does it pull? Do you have enough space in the back seat? No comments at all, just telling what we can already see. 10 minutes video and almost no valuable information :(
Hi! Xceed is larger than Stonic by 26 centimeters(4.14m for Stonic vs 4.40m for Xceed), and boot capacity is 352 litres for Stonic, 426 litres for Xceed. It is also wider by 7 centimeters than Stonic, it comes with bigger wheels(18").
Beautiful "looking" car Bob. Of all the vehicles at Frankfurt MS, this was the 'prettiest' and wasn't even inside the main auditorium...'twas outside in a glass box! If it ever comes in a "Cross Country 4x4" guise, I'd have it but not as it is...it's just a Kia!
@@alexandersgaard9713 I know about that one, but like this X one better. except maybe this big front overhang that reminds me of Peugeots from 10 years ago...
You never showed us the engine. It's a little 1 litre so you'll have to flog it to get any poke out of it. My 2012 proceed diesel is probably the best car I ever bought but it's as boring as hell. Pokewise will go like the clappers if needed.
There's already a Sportage... and if you want a Hyrbrid, Kia sells the equally sized Niro... This is unnecessary Kia, decide which crossover you want to sell from the start!!!! I prefer Xceed's design over all other Kias. So I wish they made this a hybrid instead of releasing the Niro.
Here in Slovakia Xceed starts at 17690EUR (1.0T-GDI manual) and you can get it also with 1.4 and 1.6 turbo petrol and 1.6 diesel. All except the 1-litre can be coupled to a 7-speed DCT. 1.6T-GDI auto starts at 24190EUR, which is not bad at all...
Nice Review Bob, nice car too. Had a look at Anna's video on the EQC Merc, and I'm sorry, but what's with her accent ?? Couldn't listen to any more of that. Keep them video's coming anyway.

Great video Bob, thank you for mentioning my name, I'm flattered! so so lovely meeting you ❤️
Thanks Anna, I'm sure we'll meet again soon!
@@BobFlavinVideo GOOD MAN BOB, MEETING UP TO MAKE A "VIDEO" SEEMS LIKE THE THING TO DO ALRIGHT! :))
Behave yous pair.....! 👀
One of the best car designs in quite some time. All round success. They need to be more bold and elegant with the interior though.
the kia looks amazing beautiful.
I’m enjoying the bit of humour there and also the little bit at the end. Good video as ever Bob.
Thank you!
You’re a good guy Bob and I think you’ve got the balance just right. See you on the far side. 👍🏼
I love this car, especially the manual gear lever type.
Hi Bob. How tall are you? I am planning to buy this model with a panoramic roof and I do not know if I will find the right driving position. My height is 193 cm.
I’m waiting for our XCeed 1.4 Platinum. I guess this car is amazing and beautiful. :)
Two side air condition ??? Please note in your video showed XCeed is two side automatic climate control!!! It is big difference.
Isnt this a bit close to the stonic? There seems to be a lot of blurred lines inthe kia range.

Just looked at Kia's site, and it's showing starts €3500 less than the Sportage.
@@NeoGee Where is that? On the UK site it has Xceed starting at £20795, and the Sportage starting at £20670. The Xceed IS MORE??!
@@TheSpudlyMcgudly I went back and I must have been looking at the price of a higher trim on the Sportage.

I did go swimming in sea, it's salty and warm. I miss the bit at the end of the video, the city is tough and run down
@@BobFlavinVideo I've gone all the way to Saint Maxime the next day for a bit of beach time. Stunning
No spare wheel??

Maybe you should make your own video explaining all the details?
@@BobFlavinVideo Well, there are (more) useful videos out there so I don't have to. And I will stop there - you seem so jumpy (truth hurts?)
Leo GSX haha yer gas! Thanks
How do you think that compares to Seat Arona ?
The market has gone crossover crazy! Nice to get a look at some of the scenery too
over 65% of the market is now SUV. I might start vlogging again
Are Kia trying to take sales from Mercedes?
The xceed looks very much like a GLA and the new Proceed looks very much like a CLA shooting brake.
The 40:20:40 divided rear backs are the best think
It's clever in a car because there's more choices for loading
What is that yellow badge you are holding ?
An ID card from Kia, you should subscribe for more!
It looks like a KONA but with a nice interior. Love the digital screens.
So what the difference between this and the stonic? Size and boot etc?? Great review as always!! Will you be at Frankfurt??
Hi! Xceed is larger than Stonic by 26 centimeters(4.14m for Stonic vs 4.40m for Xceed), and boot capacity is 352 litres for Stonic, 426 litres for Xceed. It is also wider by 7 centimeters than Stonic, it comes with bigger wheels(18").

No usb in the back!
Yes, that's a big issue for passengers
How tall are you men?
I prefer this over Mazda CX3
Ryan R
It is supposed to go against the CX30
Anna is brilliant# girlonSwissroads. All ways replys to comments.
So do I 😂
Thank you Keith, yay I'm like a pest, appear everywhere ;-)
Love your reviews
Can you please review kia optima disel 2019/2020 and compare it to skoda 2019/2020
thanks
First KIA in a while I like the design of.
check out the proceed
@@alexandersgaard9713 I know about that one, but like this X one better. except maybe this big front overhang that reminds me of Peugeots from 10 years ago...
Kia, please bring this to Australia.
Pause @4:37 Is this Enrique Iglesias in the background?
Not unless Anna's cameraman is a singer by night!
Informative but going overboard on the encouragement to hit the 'subscribe' button! ;)
Did you subscribe? Yes? Then it worked. No, then it didn't. I'll adjust and start again!
I kinda like that car tbh
Wish Kia sold this in Australia same with Ceed GT and Proceed GT

No 1ltr available to drive at the event so there’s nothing to say about it. Prices are based on the 1ltr
@@BobFlavinVideo is it the 1 litre turbo
Subscribe to what? you’ve told me absolutely nothing about the Kia Xceed. Useless video😕
Subscribed to both channels :)
You look cramped in the driver’s seat. The instrument cluster looks busy. Exterior design seems ok.
👍
Kia's lack of rear seat USB points is so irritating..
Other than that it's a fine car
My Sorento has USB in the back seats
So it’s a “unremarkable” car lol
Nice ceed, but at that price it competes with sportage, and loses that battle at every aspect in my opinion.
No hybrid? No automatic? For a 2020 car 🤐

Nice Review Bob, nice car too. Had a look at Anna's video on the EQC Merc, and I'm sorry, but what's with her accent ?? Couldn't listen to any more of that. Keep them video's coming anyway.
Anna is Swiss so that’s the accent. Most Europeans learn a lot of English by watching American TV or going abroad.
@@BobFlavinVideo Actually I'm Polish :-) I've learnt English in New Zealand, Australia and a couple of other places
That's a shame, Marty but each to their own. I speak 4 languages and no, I can't master them all
@@AnnaOnRoads Wow, I was thinking I heard a little New Zealand. I used to live in Fielding for awhile
@@BobFlavinVideo Small world it is!
Didn't like it to drive ,much prefer my Peugeot 3008.
Hate when ppl begging for subscribe
Muslim capital after Paris,
Actually, it’s the 2nd biggest city in France.
Why dear god why
Would anyone buy a Kia
Spare parts for them are in the baskets in Lidl
You are so ignorant
Ridiculously uninformed.
Sad!
You mean Renault
@@bruts82 you probably don't need me telling you I own a Kia for you to do some weird shit like that.
Weirdo.
And still ridiculously uninformed.
Nigel Rowe I didn’t honestly and not only that I close my eyes everytime I see a Kia
