The Kia XCeed is an all-round package with plenty of highlights. Get all the specs, from dimensions and engines to trims and prices. September 2019 – The Kia XCeed is a new urban crossover utility vehicle (CUV) from Kia Motors which combines compact SUV practicality with the sporty packaging and engaging handling of a hatchback. A sporty alternative to traditional SUVs, the new CUV nevertheless offers comparable levels of space for occupants and luggage. Kia was one of the first mainstream manufacturers to bring a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) family car to the UK market, in the shape of the Niro PHEV SUV. In 2020, the Korean brand's electrified range has expanded to include two variants of its popular Ceed family car: the XCeed PHEV crossover and this Ceed Sportswagon PHEV estate car. The Kia Ceed family is growing, with the Xceed compact crossover now part of the line-up. Think of this new model as a beefed-up version of the Ceed hatchback. While the new 2020 Kia Xceed may be based on the hatchback, it is in fact very different, with every body panel other than the front doors being different. After introducing the Ceed hatchback, estate, and the gorgeous ProCeed shooting brake earlier this year, Kia is now putting the finishing touches on the fourth member of its compact car family. To the surprise of no one, yet another crossover is about to make its way into Kia’s lineup to satisfy the insatiable hunger people have for high.

The possibly India-bound Kia Ceed is going to spawn a crossover named ‘Kia XCeed’. This crossover has been spied completely undisguised in Netherlands.
The Kia XCeed apparently has an individual design to differentiate itself from the Kia Ceed more than a Ford Focus Active can from the Ford Focus. As a result, the fact that it’s a buffed up hatchback doesn’t become apparent that easily. On the sides, the bow-shaped glasshouse of the donor car doesn’t make an appearance on the crossover; the beltline is gently swept-up at the rear. Flared fenders and rocker mouldings are other signs of SUV inspiration.
Kia Ceed Crossover Price
At the rear, the Kia XCeed flaunts sleeker tail lamps and features a uniquely designed bumper, a skid plate and dual exhaust tailpipes. Perhaps the front-end will look the most different, with model-specific headlamps, bumper and grille among other distinctive elements. Up top, there are silver flush roof rails on the crossover.
Inside, the Kia XCeed may have special touches with respect to the garnish on the dashboard, centre console and doors. One can expect model-specific upholstery options and some additional convenience features too.
The Kia XCeed will likely have a higher ground clearance than the Kia Ceed (140 mm) and a softer suspension setup for a better drive on rough roads. The same set of engines and transmissions as the hatchback is expected to be available in the crossover. This means that the engine options should include 1.0L T-GDI, 1.4L MPI and 1.4L T-GDI petrol units and a 1.6L CRDi diesel unit. 6-speed manual and 7-speed dual-clutch automatic should be the transmission choices. A plug-in hybrid variant is planned.
The Kia XCeed will have its world debut at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA 2019) that will be held from 10-22 September.
