We drive 2013 1.6 CRDI Kia ceed SW with 248.000km. Car runs like a clock for the past 7 years. Never had any problems with it. Changing oil myself every 10.000km instead 30.000km recommended by the factory. Engine don't burn any oil. It's solid. I Installed webasto diesel parking heater on it, new large screen android navigation, new speakers in all doors. Car is fantastic. When we change the car one day I will get the same model only newer. Thanks for the great video! Too bad that diesel is not available CRDI is really good and reliable engine.
Great review , i have a 2023 Ceed Sportwagon and driving sensibly and keeping up with all the traffic i can average between 48-51 mpg if you believe the onboard trip computer . Its not the best car i have ever driven but its a very good all round everyday workhorse . I think i,ll be keeping it for quite a while !.
I have a 2013 one that the 1.4 diesel and it’s incredible. My family and I drove around 2000 km’s and it cost us in fuel around €160 for all this. We had the air conditioning on a lot and the car was filled with stuff for our holiday. Honestly there great and the car has sailed past the 140,000 mile mark and it’s so reliable. I got it in 2014 and it was £13,000. Can’t understand how the cost has jumped £10,000 in a decade for the newer model?
Hey AJ, not sure if you can answer this, but I'm curious if the seats go all the way back if using rear facing child seats? It looks tight on the passenger seat that you have fully rolled back.
I have the 2018 version and use a rear facing child seat in the back behind the passenger seat...The front seat nearly goes back as far as possible but not quite...but that may be particular to the type of child car seat I use.

Great review, however it's 158bhp not 138bhp 😉
Sparewheel? Full sized hopefully. So important.
Cracking review but that car really would be better as a hybrid using Kia/Hyundai 1600 engine
Hi AJ Does the kia ceed sportwagon have a spare wheel or a repair kit?
Pretty sure it's repair kit as standard these days...although I'm sure you could get aftermarket spacesaver
