Once again a great thorough review Tish. I do like the CEE'D, for the money a well equipped family car that's reliable and backed by a great warranty. I'd certainly be happy with this car for the commute or family days out.

Amazing video Trish..the absolute best video I have ever seen...ever.

Great review Tish I’ve always liked the Kia Ce’ed and a well designed attractive car they always pick striking colours as well a real competitor to European makes the brand has really come on over the years

Great review, as always! 👏🏼

I’m getting my 1.5 gt in white this week. Been waiting for a few months for it. Trading in my picanto 1.0 turbo which over 40k on it has been faultless and brilliant to drive.🥰

Thanks for the review. The Ceed ticks a lot of boxes and especially as the car is for 'er indoors, who must have a manual gear box. Looks really nice in the GT spec which reminds me a bit of the old XR3i. With the price and warranty of 7 years it's great value for money.

A great review as always. Love all the Kia model's, Can you do a review of the e up vw back in production have you still got your Fiat 500.

We have a 20 18 GT Line with the glass roof and 1600 diesel engine I think. Had a test drive of the new Ceed, a great deal offered on a part ex. The fact the amount of trade in was nearly twice the amount of our last payment failed to convince us to deal. For us there was no comparison, the 2018 has more style and much more grunt if you want it. The seven year warranty is an absolute godsend and our local dealer uses the warranty to everyone's advantage. Good on Kia for sticking with it. We still run a 2014 sport wagon too, the mileage it gives is amazing.

Nice review, we actually bought this spec car but in the blue - I agree with most of the points, especially needing to shift into 1st when moving off, however the performance surprised me once the revs climbed you really feel the turbo push the car on. MPG is great too, I was worried that we’d struggle hit the economy numbers listed but the engine is great for that too. The car has a number of hidden features, such as quiet mode which disables the rear sound system if you have children that might have fallen asleep, and also informing you when the car in front moves off in queuing traffic. Overall we’re very happy with it, and the servicing costs are pretty affordable too!

Finally the Ceed review is here. Plus, in most countries outside of Europe, they have the Forte/Cerato/K3 as Kia’s compact hatchback/sedan.

just bought our 18 year old son a brand new one for his birthday. 1.5t non hybrid dct7 wow it's amazing and gives 50 mpg tank to tank. great car at a great price with 7 years peace of mind thrown in

Soo I recently got this exact car in the electric blue "22. Now am not tryna bum it 🍑. But genuinely one of the best cars i've ever driven, looks class, interior feels solid & got so many compliments from strangers!

As a KIA Ceed owner I confirm what she says about the performance. It doesn't feel like an engine which generates 160 hp. That's something that instantly caught my eye when test-driving.

I have the Proceed Shooting Break in the GT line trim with thr 1.5T petrol manual. I love it. Totally agree with the comments about having to use 1st gear alot. I find you need to give it a decent amount of revs to get it off the mark. Having said that I have driven diesel and auto for years before so maybe out of practice.

So u have driven this and the Hyundai i30 1.5T GDi N Line which do u prefer

I gt the proceed gt line 2022... Not one rattle and its probably the nicest car I've sat in...

Nice review

Nice review. That looks like a very tidy car, Kia are doing some smart cars these days, I rather fancy a GT-Line in blue.

I’ve ordered the GT line in blue after my other half ordered the new EV Niro. Coming from a Mercedes C Class to the Ceed but not worried about it being a ‘downgrade’.

I enjoyed watching the Video Review. The GT-Line Is expected to be the best seller In the UK

Im owning this little baby in white with 7dct gearbox for over a year. So far very good car for that price.

We don't get the Ceed here in Au. We did get the Gen2 Pro_Cee'd GT for a while. Wish they still made those 3 doors.

On order for September 🤞

Have a luxe Ceed from 2023 with automatic transmission and 1.6 petrol engine (no turbo). That's interesting, in Kazakhstan we can't buy Ceed with manual gearbox, only AT. Managers from auto house told, that MT not producing for this 3rd generation of Ceed, but I see here, they are wrong. Thank you for review!

So beautiful and the car not bad either xx

Nice ride

Anyone else nite the gear know slanted towards left hand drive cars. I had one of these for a few days. Whilst it was a really nice car the entertainment system was a bit poor and the gearing felt a bit mismatched.

I've bought a top of the range version and the engine is a rocket ship, it handles superb and the brakes are very powerful. I have never driven a better hatchback and i have driven a lot of them. The led lights are superb and it has a bigger boot space than most. It comes with a seven year warranty, don't let the badge put you of it really is a brilliant car so im not bothered about the negative remarks from the lady she is obviously a badge snob

WaS looking at these and i30 nline,, iv just ordered a i20 N get it July

Nice car Tish. Can you buy one with an auto gearbox?

Really desirable car, I’d wait for the dct to be available though.

It’s very good🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Do these have a sports mode on them?

Nice outfit

just found out kia not takeing any new orders for this car lack of demand pushing x ceed instead thanks for letting me know kia ive been waiting 10 months for this car its obviouse im not going to get it they wont you to cancel order

this car is not the 2022 model it should hove the 3 shark fin front led lights and they have done away with the fog lights i ordered mine in white early january still waiting and no up date whats happening with kia does any one know

In terms of design, interior tech and quality they are on a par if not better than ford, But when it comes to the drivetrain ford are always ahead i think.

Why would you want to pull away in second,all you are going to do i is put strain on your clutch & transmission.

It’s not worth it for the price in my opinion. I’ve recently pulled out of an order for the GT Line version because I wasn’t 100% convinced. It doesn’t come with front parking sensors and for the money you’re paying, it should! My 2015 Corsa was £10,000 cheaper brand new, so I’d expect this to be £10,000 better and it’s not. It is a good looking car, but I’d recommend saving a bit more and getting something more luxurious.

Contrasting to the 1st ceed.......that I won for a year !

Can't believe Kia decided to drop the GT Line S model of the Ceed, which has all toys I wouldn't buy a car without. No electric handbrake. No LED headlights. No panoramic roof. No JBL upgrade. No memory seat. You can get all these in the Proceed. Such a bad decision from Kia here as other hatch rivals offer such things.

Honestly "premium" brands need to catch up lol I had a proceed for 6 months, sold it and bought a 2023 stinger. There is something in these cars that premium brandies dont know how to do

They have stopped selling it in automatic which I find strange

Those look like real buttons on the steering wheel. It has VW beat

Hate it when a car won’t let you pull away in 2nd gear

So much more stylish, Classier and better built than a boring dull Golf.

@5:34 gotten....aaargh!

*HELL NO* A shiny appearance does not hide that fact that Kia all in all are just expensive junk, they break down way to early, they are noisy and expensive to repair (Way before the acclaimed 7-10 year warranty runs out) or 100 000 miles And when it does the KIA dealership ask you as a customer to change the parts yourself! Seriously? I'll never buy a KIA ever again and i'm about to buy at least three new cars, this time my money is on the competition!

you are so attractive 😍🌹🌹🌹

Those alloys are awful. Impossible to keep clean.

The thing about the GT line is inside it's basic and cheapish. No digital dash. No electronic hand brake. No auto?! Readout on temp dials is a bit washy in places. And value? Um. I'd implore anyone looking at the GT to investigate the entry ish 180 Sp Exec Merc A Class, the A3 Sport and BMW 1 series Sport. Their stronger residuals (and available discounts) make them (only) £30-£50 per month more than the GT. And that's for DSG boxes and these cars are the real deal for a few dollars more.

Her dress is distracting :)

The review is full of mistakes and one wonders if the ability of the journalist to review cars when they admit that they put a car in second gear to start off, a basic error that a competent driver would never make.

How has a Kia ended up a few hundred pounds less than a golf? Even The base model golf is still twice the quality Kia are Aimed at senior citizens and people who have no interest in cars just for the 7 year warranty

Yuk! A manual handbrake - NEXT.
