Had the DCT on hire for a week. I dont like DCT as a rule, but Kia have done a good job with that box. The plastics are crap though, scratches just by looking at it. Infotainment is about as good as anything out there. Really good system, crisp and quick.
Great review. Purchased this car, but in Infra Red. This is a great car, for anyone thinking about buying the new Ceed, then go ahead. Especially the First Edition Variant with plenty of Spec. The only thing I would add would be Gt Line sideskirts. But Great car, Great Engine, and great spec for the money, especially if you buy second hand.
I had a Ceed 4 for 7 years it had electronic brakes and warming seats and drivers wheel and moved the seat automatically to fit my size and had electronic key opening. It was great no problems in those 7 years just needed new tyres. Daylight lights went out twice but were renewed free of charge. Now I’m waiting on delivery of a new one.
Ive just about to buy the connect limited edition model xceed. Had a hyundai kona previously. These 2 brands at the moment have my loyalty. Price wise,looks and fuel efficiency and warranty win me over. Great detailed review again top notch.

I love the car I have the red kia xceed 1.4 turbo petrol for £20 get 120 miles and it great to drive handles well turbo kicks in good and heated steering wheel and seats are nice touch pot holes in Birmingham are every were and kia goes over them nice it's great car
Seriously considering one of these in first edition spec 2nd hand as it's literally got everything... Just not sure my mum's wheelchair will fit in the boot. It didn't fit in a Kamiq 😬
On the new infotainment is the bluetooth Media interface better than it used to be? In older Kia’s the car was basically giant headphones with just play pause skip. Can you now get LISTS of artist songs podcast etc and select one like you can in all VAG cars?
In other countries , like Romania , you get 2 tone on the outside of the seats and white cloth on the middle and you don't need to upgrade all the way to the first edition trim level...
I am trying to decide between a full spec diesel auto Xceed or Focus Active. They seem to be quite similar, from both reviews I could not figure which has better off-road features, better driving refinement and handling. It would be nice to have a comparison, eventually extended to more SUV oriented models like Mazda cx30 and equivalent.

@@vlady1992 Thanks. Sad that things like spare tyres and reral h/b's are removed without asking the drivers what we want. Then they add things like heated seats and wheel that we can do without.
I drove the xceed yesterday and from what I heard is that kia is a real reliable car be it mechanical or electrical . From my perspective it's a really good car especially having a 7 year warranty helps it's case a lot...
@@vlady1992 I drive a 2015 Ce'ed (with h/b and spare) and it'sgood and I'm looking to change but I will not buy a care with an electronic H/b.....they are not safe. And I don 't like the trye repair kits that only work on a tyre without sidewall damage. Saying you trust Kia is like saying all air travel is safe because you have never crashed :)
My parents bought an Opel/Vauxhall Mokka x new and they made me responsabile for the option list 3 things I didn't want on the car. Tyre repair kit Electronic handbrake Electronic start/stop . But a know that with some cars in certain markets you don't get that option . The electronic hand brake being something that you can't option out in any market for any market unlike the repair kit and a normal key

Great to hear that your Ceed is still going strong after all these years, Martha 👍 If you enjoyed this review, make sure to subscribe: bit.ly/319ZKoT
I like this car, it seems to offer the best of all worlds. The 7 year warranty is the icing on the cake.

I love new Kia design, they are starting to look a little bit more premium now😍
Very thorough and professional.
Hi David, thank you 😄
Really great and very thorough review.

pot holes in Birmingham are every were and kia goes over them nice it's great car
@Birmingham city football club auto or manual, fuel consumption pls
I think the infotainment system is great 👍 Good job Kia
Great Review - I wish Kia had sold the XCeed , Ceed GT & Proceed GT in Australia.
Maybe one day Ryan! We can only hope
@@OsvUkVehicleSupply I would have bought the Proceed GT. I drove it last year in Germany.
Why isn’t the Xceed offered with the Ceed GT’s 201hp 1.6-litre turbo petrol in the UK like it is in other markets?
Hi great review my friend whats refinement like is there much wind and road noise when your up and running.

Pick up xceed 1.0 edition in the morning hopefully its going to live up to my expectations .
We hope you enjoy your new car, let us know how you get on 👍
Great thorough review 1 of the best

This is the most talking I have ever heard for 56 minutes....
I hate electronic handbrakes having suffered multiple failurers in my old (long gone) Passat so can you get the Xceed with a real manual HB?
Nope

the exhaust outlets are FAKE. Horrible design choice, ruins the car for me.
I drove it today and they were the fakest exhausts I have ever seen but at least at first glance you don't see them like audi or mercedes....
your videos are too long, need lot of patience..... could be aroung 20 minutes, will increase your view if your videos are shorter
