Kia Ceed 3 (CD) facelift

Compact Hatchback

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Kia Ceed 3 (chassis code CD) facelift is an affordable compact hatchback in production from 2021. It is available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.0 to 1.6 liters.

Compared to the pre-facelift, the facelifted Ceed 3 is arguably busier in styling. Its engines grew smaller and more complex, and one may be best advised to avoid these. Still, those who love electronic gizmos may be impressed.

The mild-hybrid drivetrain enables new efficiency features, though the difference is, as the name suggests, mild.

The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.

Reviewer score 61% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

The Ceed lags behind the Sportage and Niro in terms of sales. The third-generation Ceed has received design changes to bring it into line with the firm’s latest design trends. The interior has also received an upgrade, notably with higher-spec cars gaining a new 12.3in digital instrument display and 10.25in touchscreen. Kia has also added a host of new driver assistance systems to the Ceed.

Pros

Stylish looks
Comfortable to drive

Cons

Lacks premium sheen and dynamic appeal
No hybrid option

Two petrol engines are available: a 1.0-litre unit with 118bhp, or a more powerful 1.5- litre delivering 158bhp. A 134bhp 1.6 CRDi diesel with 48v mild-hybrid technology also features, as does a 139bhp plug-in hybrid in the Xceed range.
