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.
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.
No doubt the 158 hp is the max figure, not the max output at all engine speeds. Still, it's supposed to do 0-60 in 8.4s.
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.
There isn't an engine offered in the 2018 GT line with more power than the 1.5L 158bhp tested here so unsure what you are talking about? Interior is definitely not as good of a quality in the pre-face lift to facelift model either so very strange.
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!
So glad you’re happy with your choice!
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!
can you tell me how much your paying a month
@@yowhaatsup I just ordered one for £227 with servicing and maintenance. Penta grey paint included too. Otherwise would be much cheaper
I gt the proceed gt line 2022... Not one rattle and its probably the nicest car I've sat in...
Amazing video Trish..the absolute best video I have ever seen...ever.
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.
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
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.
Yep! This one took a little while!
I have this car and I love it. The drive is great the look is great and a 7 year warranty brilliant. Well worth the money
@@Weedee82 I don’t think it’s a bad car.
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
So glad you found the perfect car for him. Lucky boy!
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.🥰
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.
Sounds good, I will see if I can get one. Yes still have the Abarth for now.
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 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.
We're picking ours up in the next few weeks. Really looking forward to getting it. What I really like is the fact you hardly see any other new Proceed's on the road (well I haven't since we ordered ours in March,) so they're quite unique.
We went wild with the Fusion Orange. 😁
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
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.
The blue looks fantastic doesn't it!
@@AutoSocialUK Yeah that did actually happen, I ended up getting a GT-L in blue flame 😀
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!
Thank you for sharing
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. The GT-Line Is expected to be the best seller In the UK
Compared to what?
Thank you for watching Jamie
I got the gt line ceed it's great
Im owning this little baby in white with 7dct gearbox for over a year. So far very good car for that price.
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.
They had to pull the GT-LINE S due to the Chip Shortage.
@@trevorharrison1434 they should've at least given the GT Line LED headlights. Halogens in 2022 even in top trim is terrible
I originally ordered a Golf Gtd in June 21. The order was pushed back several times by Volkswagen with several excuses so I had enough anf went for a Kia.
It is crazy how many specifications are not available any more.
@@slugger7440 Agreed, pretty unacceptable in my opinion!
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.
Completely agree with that statement
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.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Great review, as always! 👏🏼
Thanks again!
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
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
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.
So u have driven this and the Hyundai i30 1.5T GDi N Line which do u prefer
Why would you want to pull away in second,all you are going to do i is put strain on your clutch & transmission.
On order for September 🤞
Nice ride
Nice review
Thank you! Cheers!
So beautiful and the car not bad either xx
Thank you Roger!
Nice car Tish. Can you buy one with an auto gearbox?
it would appear on the website you can't at the moment.
Contrasting to the 1st ceed.......that I won for a year !
Oh really?! How did you win that?
@@AutoSocialUK a competition ! Ran it for a year and submitted monthly updates, few electrical faults, fixed by dealer, at the end of the term I was sure I would be offered it at half price...but no such luck, but after a year of a free car no complaints.
Really desirable car, I’d wait for the dct to be available though.
I agree!
Those look like real buttons on the steering wheel. It has VW beat
hahaha yes that is very true!
WaS looking at these and i30 nline,, iv just ordered a i20 N get it July
The i20N is awesome!!
Hate it when a car won’t let you pull away in 2nd gear
hahaha I'm glad its not just me! I thought I was just lazy!
It’s very good🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
They have stopped selling it in automatic which I find strange
It seems they're really scaling back the models, I wonder if dealers can order different cars?
Seems an unusual move as hybrids and electric cars are auto
*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!
Do these have a sports mode on them?
No they don’t and that surprised me…. Not that I could find anyway
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
I got this info from the dealer: The problem is the production of the control unit, the reason is the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
I ordered mine (Ceed GT Line) in mid-April. Kia (UK) said 8-10 weeks. They now reckon mine will be with the dealership 1st week August, ready to collect a week later. Brings order to collection from 8-10 to 16-18 weeks. Still quicker than other manufacturer - hear... but I wouldn't know, this is my first brand new car order. You should chase up your dealer and find out what the delay is.
@@Treacy88 i was told same delivery dates as you 8-10 weeks 12 weeks later 16- 18 weeks now should get it from july to september dont believe what they tell you, hows it possible for you to get your car in Augest when they havent delivered january orders let us know how you get on I havent seen this car on the road yet and theres no video on youtube filmed in uk of the new model with shark fin leds
quick up date septembers here stil no build date i ordered this car 4 weeks after it was fist shown at european motor show december 71 i ordered 24 december before kia dealerships had seen one whats going on iv only seen a couple on the road and their the same as in this video fiitted with the old style head lightes and foglightes check out EU videos of this car with shark fin leds and no fog lightes if id been suppled this car with the old lightes i would not be happy uk seems to be a low priority and their prioritizeing new markets,
So much more stylish, Classier and better built than a boring dull Golf.
I think I agree, although I still wanted more from the interior
@@AutoSocialUK Marry Me 😍 😁
@@AutoSocialUK The next one will be much much better. The new Sportage has one of the best in its class.
Nice outfit
@5:34 gotten....aaargh!
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.
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.
No digital dash, no electric handbrake and no auto are all BIG plusses in my book, much better to drive in my opinion
Those alloys are awful. Impossible to keep clean.
jet wash... brush.. or just a brush.. come on now.
you are so attractive 😍🌹🌹🌹
Thank you

Her dress is distracting :)
Yuk! A manual handbrake - NEXT.
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
KIAs are waaaaay more reliable, it's not even a competition
@@bitzovhadez7214 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh my days, that is a bold statement as a 32 year old mk1 golf drives past me
You can’t be serious. Have you even owned a VW made oin the last 10yrs. If so, you should know they’re garbage
@@stogieman1270 vag cars are junk.2 year warranty lol and those fekin cambelt changes that cost a fortune. these ceeds use a chain
Order a Golf you could wait a very long time for it to arrive. Order a Ceed and you possibly get it delivered within 3 months time..
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.
that's interesting! Thank you for sharing
