Vehicle Profile: The Kia Cee’d 1.6 CRDi https://wvl.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/kia-ceed-featured.jpg 660 300 Anthony https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a9c4089fd91833b9d9ac3cd2423e0fcb?s=96&d=mm&r=g‘Live more life’ – the emotive call-to-action Kia have given their new Cee’d. Account Executive Ryan Davies took the car out on an extended test drive to see if this feature-packed vehicle lives up to the feel-good-factor in its marketing.
The Test Drive
Having written my last review on the Vauxhall Corsa VVT Energy the natural thing to do would be to compare one hatchback to another. Well, much like my adoration towards the Corsa, I can speak with similar positivity about the all new Kia Cee’d. Smooth to drive with a quiet engine, comfortable seats and great visibility within the car all contributed to a very enjoyable journey along the roads of Berkshire.
Personally, I feel the best features of the car lie in its technology. The parking camera, sat nav and Bluetooth all work seamlessly contributing to an easier and more hassle-free drive. Aesthetically the main accolades go to the front grille and headlights which are both modern and exciting.
If it’s entertainment you’re after then the 7” touchscreen and Bluetooth music streaming is for you. Should comfort be your main focus then the heated seats and steering wheel will suit you perfectly. Or perhaps you’re keen to take a big leap into the 21st century? Well, if so then the parallel park assist system (PPAS) will ensure that you do just that – automatically nipping into the tightest spots with aplomb.
Most endearingly, through comfort, design and technology, the car appeals to a wide demographic: male/female, young/old this car really does accommodate for all.
Overall I believe the Cee’d to be a great car that is fit for most purposes, but why take my word for it? Pop in to the WVL showroom for a test drive in our demonstrator vehicle and see for yourself how great this modern, mid-sized car can be!
Pricing from £13,900.
