Great review! I test drove the same engine and gearbox configuration and found it brilliant. It is quite improved over the previous generation in terms of sound proofing, handling and damping (I own a 2017 Cee'd SW 1.6 GDI). And I love the exterior. The interior reminds me of the Sportage, so it is not that pleasing, but the build quality is solid. Some minor issue is with the display of the climate control buttons, the temperature is hard to see in sunny weather. The sales person said that they will launch also a Shooting Brake model with around 200 hp, so I am not sure it will be in I30 N territory.
Andrei Cranga Yeah KIA said they're not going to make a proper hot hatch because they're worried it won't sell well. The new GT will have 204hp from a 1.6 turbo like the previous generation.
Waiting my new ceed sw 1.4 l tbo DCT with blue flame colur and premium pack. Probably I get it in october. Now I have 2017 cee’d sw 1.6l diesel DCT with premium pack. Hello from Finland . Nice rewiew 👍
Good review as per. 👍🏻 Does seem a really good package! But i’am not blown away by the looks. I do prefer the older one. So is the First Edition basically the GT-Line ?
MrSmithyboy1990 Blue edition is probably closer to the previous GT Line, First Edition is closer to the previous level 4....I assume they will do GT Line/GT Line S/GT soon
@@julescripps1489 Cheers! I did a test drive in the 1.0T and I thought the fifth and sixth gear were a bit long, I was wondering if it is better in the 1.4
Good car, but needs the halo model like Hyundai N 30 in the range to get the younger buyers interested to the brand. Top work Sean and team as always. Cheers.
Great Video Review. Look forward to seeing the GT version and yes It be a 300bhp. A New Shooting Brake Model will Debut at the Paris Motor Show later this year
Jamie Pickles The GT model has already been confirmed to have 204hp like the previous generation. KIA aren't making a proper hot hatch because they're worried it won't sell well.
Good man, you'll also be honouring the memory of Top Gear, when it was good LOL I supplementary question, if I may. It's hard to tell from your film, but the Ceed sounds very quiet and refined - I know you mentioned that - is it as refined as the likes of the Audi A3, Ford Focus and Hyundai i30, would you say?

I would expect to be refined atleast as Hyundai i30, dunno about AudiA3 tho
Hi I have had a test drive in this model and found it be a really good car am not sure about the look it's a bit stretched looking the model I had was the top of the range interior was all leather but nicely finished definetly worth a look not cheap though!
it's the 3rd gen 2nd gen still faster 201bhp top speed of 143mph doesn't matter if it's cee'd or ceed it's the same dam model and tbh older gen looks meaner more sporty this has gone like the fiesta the focus and i30 more square
Mały XL very true. Perhaps a misleading title. Something along the lines of “ Kia creed 2018, what’s new?” Would fit the vid better. Nonetheless. Good vid
The exterior styling is something you would not look twice at - extremely generic. The stick-on tablet on the dash is a complete disaster. I drive a Proceed, which I love, but when the time comes I will not even consider this new model.
Brian Holmes I like the way it looks, a bit generic but not dull. Personally I think the 'stick-on tablet' isn't too bad at all. Some other cars screens look much worse.
Very nice review. Huge thanks from Slovakia :)

F
Did you get it? Thoughts?
The Ceed is really nice. I hope it comes to the US . We only have the Rio hatch and Forte 5 but this looks much better.
Great review Sean. Nice looking car, I think it even has the edge on the new Focus. The interior looks high quality too.
Thank you again Andy! The blues are so similar... Would be interesting to have them side by side. The Kia drives so well, too.
@@newmotoring Yes please have them side by side 😎 Kia ceed vs Ford Focus 🕵️♂️
Great review! Thanks Sean. More stationary car design detail next time
Good review as per. 👍🏻

MrSmithyboy1990 The first edition isn't a GT line. I believe the GT line will come next year along with the actual GT model.
Its brilliant i've got my 1.4 turbo petrol blue flame i've had it 6 weeks love it ! definitely recommend you test drive one :D
Is it worth the extra cost compared to the 1.0T 120hp petrol?
Definitely hope that helps
@@julescripps1489 Cheers! I did a test drive in the 1.0T and I thought the fifth and sixth gear were a bit long, I was wondering if it is better in the 1.4
Hello :) yes it’s definitely smoother & quicker. I always test drive and get the feel of the car.
the torque inst build up, because It has a flat torque curve from 1500 RPM. You are waiting for the power that is a fuction of torque and rpm
How is this compared to the Focus please?
Haven't driven the new Focus yet, but will do soon!
Good car, but needs the halo model like Hyundai N 30 in the range to get the younger buyers interested to the brand.
Top work Sean and team as always. Cheers.
I just hope the new Ceed GT will be a little more potent than the last. The last car was good, but the new Ceed has so much potential!
And thank you very, very much. Comments like that mean the world. Have a good weekend! 👊

Is this a front wheel drive or rear wheel drive
Can you see over the steering wheel?
I miss the apostrophe, so Clarkson could do that dumb gag. Other than that, everything seems improved. Greate review, as ever.
Haha so true! When we drive one in the UK I'll draw one on... Thank you so much!

Hi. Designwise, this new Kia looks like a step back on the 2nd generation. Also the interior space at the rear lacks both headroom and legroom.
What about a GT-line spec car? Can we expect that?
Yes, GT-Line will be coming in about a year to replace the First Edition (the car we're driving in this video).
Hi I have had a test drive in this model and found it be a really good car am not sure about the look it's a bit stretched looking the model I had was the top of the range interior was all leather but nicely finished definetly worth a look not cheap though!
Ceed, Focus, i30 all clones of one another. Mazda 3 will be the one to watch and wait for!
Brian Rocks I think the new Ceed looks better than the new Focus
Detailed review but not a great fun of presenting a car while driving it. It misses out on important aspects mostly of the interior and practicality.
Kia ceed blue edition that's the one that is very good car
If this is just one of the best what is THE best then???
Kia ceed is very good
Fastest Kia Ceed you can buy? What about the previous ceed GT with over 200bhp...
Fastest Ceed you can buy right now. You cannot get the old Ceed GT anymore. That is what he meant.
It was a Cee'd and not a Ceed
it's the 3rd gen 2nd gen still faster 201bhp top speed of 143mph doesn't matter if it's cee'd or ceed it's the same dam model and tbh older gen looks meaner more sporty this has gone like the fiesta the focus and i30 more square
better than the new focus
Yeah, go in to rally too with a 360 hp engine! :)And after that in to Formula 1 with Kimi at the wheel! :)
I would buy the Ceed Gt if they bought it out with an auto box.
There isn't a traditional torque-converter auto, but there is a seven-speed double clutch.
Pretty much same price as an Optima. Hatchbacks are same price as saloons
SLOVAKIAAAAA
👍
Looks like ford focus
In blue they are quite similar from some angles...
Ford Focus - Kia Edition =)
Go for the kia! Ford have issues with the eco boost engines plus it's cheaper and its got a 7 year warrinty.
@@stevewilson6390 i like the kia ceed but new type is very smilar the new focus
@Ricky Holmes 😃
Comment just for YT statistics.
Hero 🙏 Thank you!
This is not a review but a sponsored ad. Sounds like you are reading from kia promo sheet.
Mały XL very true. Perhaps a misleading title. Something along the lines of “ Kia creed 2018, what’s new?” Would fit the vid better.
Nonetheless. Good vid
Can'T hear shit
That was a bad and lazy review! With just a man riding a car. Nothing about the interior
The exterior styling is something you would not look twice at - extremely generic. The stick-on tablet on the dash is a complete disaster. I drive a Proceed, which I love, but when the time comes I will not even consider this new model.
Brian Holmes harsh!

THE FORD FOCUS 2019 IS A BETTER CAR!!
peter debel
That's literally so unconvincing an argument that I now think it's a worse car.
But ugly
