Three main things to remember: 1) The Ceed GT is an amazing automobile. Thomas is a great reviewer. 2) Germany is beautiful and I miss living there. 3) Birds are first, humans are second.
Oh, almost forgot about the full lenght review. Great work Thomas and team! Spot on review as always! It's such a nice car and the price reallly is great. It's Fiesta ST power in a Focus sized car. Well, I guess the Fiesta ST drives better but I made a test drive with the ST and after half an hour I couldn't feel my legs as the seats are so tight (I'm 1.90 and 98 kgs).I was really looking forward for the normal Ceed GT review, everybody else is doing the Proceed GT one. Keep it up!
Oh, and Thomas, forgot to ask, is it really such a huge difference in driving and fun between this Ceed GT and the MK8 Fiesta ST? I know there are differences, the ST has the superb LSD but the GT would be better as a daily driver with a little bit of fun from time to time? Thanks!
19:11 Totally agree Thomas. It should be pull to shift up and push to shift down as that's that natural orientation of the gforces on your body when accelerating or braking. So it makes more sense to follow the same motion.
10 Years I've owned a kia pro ceed 2008 plate. 10 years and only two problems which cost me a minor £250 total. Literally the best car ever. I've carried wood out the back end of it, done multiple trips to the dump, driven for hours. So many cars on the market tempt me to leave KIA, but, my experience with this one I just can't not. Tempted to get this car, or keep mine for even longer to see how she goes and buy a nice used one at a decent price in a few years!
Kia really lifted up its game with this gt ceed. The exhaust from outside and inside sounds pretty good too...and the rear styling looks like a BMW..not a bad looking car. I saw the exact same car here in Australia and it's got a spoiler at the back and it looks awesome. If I have to buy a new car hyundai i30 N line and kia ceed gt are top to test drive
Hello. The new CEED looks good, especialy in GT version. I like the sound of engine, something like a growl. The first and second generation of CEE'D had a boxy shape and the rear legroom was a little better but this new generation looks more stilysh and this goes to a minus in terms of space. By the way Thomas ... good driving technique. Keep up the good work!
Excellent review - Thank you. One of these very same model (manual gearbox) has recently turned up at my local KIA dealership. Watching this has now more than ever convinced me to finally book a test drive !
Really a nice review! Got my Ceed Gt in February with the same specs in Germany and the price was even lower than 30k. For me currently the best bang for the buck car if you search for a sporty drive that has affordable running costs and doesnt kill your wallet if you have to visit a gas station. Keep the good work! :)
This Kia really impressed me! Also the seats with Alcantara upholstery are really nice. It’s a “premium” and eco friendly material made in Italy by a factory that tries to have a zero impact of CO2 emissions. (Same as “Dinamica”, the microfibre you can find on different Mercedes models)
This car is really the same as the Forte 5 in Canada. Although I have a 2017 and so this 2020 Ceed platform is an upgrade. The safety features are the same along with the 1.6T engine. Wonderful car and a good balance between sport and comfort. It has performed well in all conditions and that includes winter snow and cold temperatures, which of course we have. In terms of value, this car is equipped in Canada with all features as an SX model. New at 30,000 $ CAD. A Golf GTI with similar equipment is 36,000$ CAD so quite a difference. Kia and Hyundai have become very popular and I have seen that VW and others are working to catch up on price and features. So far they are all loosing! Thank you for the good report and I have subscribed. Kevin in Mississauga.
Remembered your first cee'd Review, but thought your first Review was an XK or a Cascada! Nice new Ceed but shame still cramped in the back. Nice interior but a bit gloomy - prefer light coloured interiors. Much enjoyed your 'Active' driving part, and commentary. The DCT worked well. Not keen on firm suspension - with our very poor road surfaces! Many thanks Thomas, for your professional work.
one thing i have seen nobody say about this and the proceed is the steering wheel feels so small in your hands, I am getting the new proceed GT delivered in about 7-10 days and it was a great car but genuinely i couldn't get over how thin and small the wheel feels. still a great car for the price. I30n is more performance orientated but feels a bit cheaper inside, ceed and proceed GT feel nicer inside but less performance orientated so it depends what you want. i wanted the shooting brake and a DCT transmission so was an easy choice for me plus 200bhp is more than enough power for day to day fun
Such a shame Australia misses out on the Ceed GT - very elegant, sleek and a proper sporty looking hatch. We're left with a very awkward looking Cerato/K3 GT hatch instead (side profile, d pillar and rear at crossover SUV like proportions).
Good review. I still remember your first review of the first Ceed GT. Actually I have the photos of that review because I ended buying one. I think this generation GT lost some aggressiveness on the front. The bumber is not as aggressive and I really like the way the led ice cubes look on the first generation. They really missed the opportunity to increase the horse power a little bit. If I was looking for a car this would probably be my choice. But having the previous gen GT I don't see changes enough to be tempted to "upgrade" in a couple of years. By the way, the GT is not rival of the likes of Golf Gti ou I30 N or other hot hatch. It's rival of cars like the Megane GT, the 308 GT, Astra turbo, etc. All cars around 200hp. We can call them warm-hatches. Cheers
For every person who wants spoilers and lasers strapped to everything there's someone who likes this conservative look. It's all subjective. Unless you're on the track every weekend 200hp is enough for the real world. I think they intentionally did it to meet a certain price-point. Not everyone's willing to shell out for an i30N that you're going to take to a track once a year. Don't drive like an idiot on public roads y'all.
Looks like the equivalent of the 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT N-Line offered for sale in the USA. With the manual transmission, that's going for about $24k, but you don't have the option to have the nicer audio system and a few other things. Adding the DCT takes the price point up to just over $25k. Add on audio / nav package (DCT equipped model only) and the price bumps up to $29k. That price band is in direct competition with the VW GTI here in the states (advertised street prices). I think that it would really boil down to driver preference when comparing the Korean and German offerings. As always, thank you for the detailed review!
Fantastic review! I like that you touch on so many aspects of the car. From some interior details to handling and pure fun from drive. I can only wish this was Proceed GT instead, as it feels even more interesting and modern with a bigger boot and this 204HP engine. I am looking for a car in this price range and it feels like the right choice. I can't stand Mazda's 3 infotainment without touch screen and its many small drawbacks with biggest disappointment being low horsepower engines without any turbos. It just does not fit for a 2019 compact car. I am also not keen on Ford ST line's interior. While it drives well its dash and steering wheel looks like from 2005, also 3 cylinder engine? Pass for me. There is always VW and Skoda but KIA looks like a breath of the fresh air and this KIA's DCT with paddle shifters is absolutely one of the best in this segment in my opinion. Keep up the great work!
Thomas, I have to admit that your review brought me complex view about the car. Anyways I would like to hear more about the following: 1. 7DCT autom-transmission functionality especially in comparison with 7DSG - how fast this one works, is the gear change smooth ? 2. How adaptive cruise control works? Is that average, or superior or...? 3. Full LED headlights are really full LED? Isn't it hybrid of LED & hologen ? I would appreciate to them answered due to my interest of purchase. Thanks in advance.
Thanks! Not sure about the headlights, but I think they dont have enough range either way. In total darkness when u drive fast, I had a problem with short range. ACC worked fine afaik and same to the gear box
@@autogefuehl Thanks a lot ! I am still thinking if the right choice is Seat Leon 2.0 TSI (140kW) 7DSG or Kia Ceed GT 7DCT is the better choice. It's the struggle between the 2.0 TSI 140kW, 320NM versus 1.6 T-GDI 150kW, 265NM :) Any advice based on your experience?
I ordered mine on 5th of February, I was told its a 2 month wait. However I still haven't heard back from the dealers. Somehow I feel that ill have to wait till May.
I like the Ceed very much, a high quality choice for the reasonable driver. Not sure who's gonna buy the sprot version though. The GTI crowd? Don't think so. For me, this car makes most sense with a 115 PS diesel engine.
Hey Thomas. Do you think Ceed GT is a better choice than VW Polo GTI? Do the driving assistances there work as good as in VW cars? How is the DCT comparing to the DSG in Polo GTI? Ceed GT looks better interior-wise to me but I'm concerned about the quality of multimedia and the driving assistance. And which one is more fun to drive? Overall, which one would you go for?
As far as I know it's only BMW and Mazda that have the shifter going the corrrect way. Even Lamborghini and Porsche had it reversed back when they had it.
Ceed GT is rather vs Golf GTI. However you can compare both our reviews here: Polo GTI ua-cam.com/video/qk7wny6QXN0/v-deo.html Golf GTI ua-cam.com/video/HgO9gTVecKw/v-deo.html
The horsepower war in the hot hatch segment is idiotic. This is what compact hot hatches should be like - 200 horsepower, a bodykit and costing 30k euro max
@@autogefuehl Thank you for the reply Thomas. Because in Slovakia, for the same price, I could get either polo GTI in full spec or the kia ceed GT in full spec, and their consumption should be about the same too. And I know you have driven both. Can you compare them even thou its different segment ?
What about the general fuel consumption in Liters regarding average speed of 130kmh on the Autobahn/Full Speed fuel consumption and total range with a full tank regarding long highway distances?
So when you are driving with higher speeds it'll be round about 11liters in average? I just want to compare it with the Golf 7 gti performance I drove recently that's the reason for the consumption question
Sadly, we don't get the Ceed in the US, probably because the only engine option likely to appeal to American consumers is the 1.6L Turbo and the Ceed would likely cannibalize sales of the Hyundai Veloster.
@@autogefuehl Just to rescue my comment from its much deserved stupidity, I'll note that the Forte5 hatchback has been discontinued in the US and that was the source of my confusion.
Are there many differences between the Kia ceed GT compared with the standard Ceed with GT-Line regarding the Interieur/Exterieur ? Thank's in advance for your answer
Just a quick question Thomas - I've been wanting to know the purpose of those rear plastic black trims that is on either side of the hatch's rear glass area that connects with the top rear spoiler. Any thoughts? Noticed they suddenly popped out with a lot of newer hatchback designed vehicles when a number of years back they weren't even there. I don't think they have any aerodynamic reason to be there or aesthetic gain. Honestly don't like them because I think they're a bad design element. As for the car, I like it a lot. Kia/Hyundai creating a great number of really good looking vehicles that won't bust your budget. They have one of the best and easy to decipher/learn infotainment set-ups and a thumbs up for physical buttons. Fantastic review.
I think what he's trying to explain is how in modern cars the screen or display is not integrated seamlessly into the design of the dash, but instead are "tacked on" as an afterthought.
Bleibt nur zu hoffen, daß der Pro Ceed und der Ceed GT auch rein elektrisch angeboten werden! Dann hat man wirklich entspanntes Grand Tourismo! Was ist eigentlich mit dem Einklemmschutz der hinteren Fenster? Immer noch nicht vorhanden?
@@autogefuehl Okay, I see! Thats was somehow confusing as the car dealers and forums are all talking about 2020 model with the new navi and co.. Ordered mine on monday ;)
I love this channel I really do and I have no criticism of it what so ever and that includes all the testers and staff, they are all outstanding and have superb qualities. As for the worlds cars, god they are becoming more and more boring month by month, they are becoming the same old story, same old dashboards/fascias/bezels/steering wheels......the exteriors and interiors are becoming increasingly difficult to clean as are the alloy wheels. To me, the most un-complicated cars are still Volkswagen and if they are not to careful they will go the same way, I think the modern motor vehicle has reached an age of complication and bullshit that does not add to the driving experience.
Middle tunnel is low and small as in many compact cars so small gear knob would be hard to reach. This way you can rest your hand on an arm rest and still be able to grab it I guess. That being said I also prefer the look of smaller gear leavers and without this leather pouch like in manual.
Porsche front lights. Audi climate controls. Mercedes steering buttons. Volkswagen cup holder. Overall about the car: Designed by the Germans. Made by the koreans.
Three main things to remember: 1) The Ceed GT is an amazing automobile. Thomas is a great reviewer. 2) Germany is beautiful and I miss living there. 3) Birds are first, humans are second.

So, you hit humans crossing the road but let the birds fly! Lol
This car seems really great to drive, props to the engineers at KIA & Hyundai.
Probably a better buy than the German alternatives
The quality is pretty good, price is decent, but the fuel consumption ? 8-10 liters/ 100km...thats pretty expensive...

Nice camera angles on the country road. Also, what's up with all the graffiti on the highway overpasses, lol?

It is like herr Flick from Allo Allo making a car review haha. Well done crew
I personally think the new gen feels more cramped in the driver's seat compared to the old gen.
Which would you choose: Ceed GT or Polo GTI?
Ceed GT is rather vs Golf GTI.

please do you remember the fuel consumption when you just enjoyed the ride ? was it way above 8l/100km ?
Goes definitely higher, but its still quite OK

What about the general fuel consumption in Liters regarding average speed of 130kmh on the Autobahn/Full Speed fuel consumption and total range with a full tank regarding long highway distances?
I gave an average consumption
So when you are driving with higher speeds it'll be round about 11liters in average? I just want to compare it with the Golf 7 gti performance I drove recently that's the reason for the consumption question

I don't think they have any aerodynamic reason to be there or aesthetic gain. Honestly don't like them because I think they're a bad design element.
As for the car, I like it a lot. Kia/Hyundai creating a great number of really good looking vehicles that won't bust your budget. They have one of the best and easy to decipher/learn infotainment set-ups and a thumbs up for physical buttons. Fantastic review.
just a design trend i think!
Kia Ceed GT or Ford Focus ST Line 182 km? What do you think?
Check our focus st line review, youtube search Autogefuehl focus st line
The Kias interior is impressive but nothing beats the focus handling!
good question. Who can give us some hints?
I preferred them when they were more pointy. The dashboard is a bit ploppy.
No sunroof option?this interior should have been in the i30N!
I wish car makers would stop the fake noise. Why dont they just make it sound good in the first place, such as the Abarth 595
Emissions.
why did you not show us the interior more?
I would buy it with a good diesel, about 160-180 hp
Impressive. Don't like the glossy materials though. A bit cheap in my opinion.
Superb interior, try it
how does it compare to a hyundai i30n ?
Same platform, but the i30n has 70pk more.
I am giving some hints on that in this review, please watch full length.
Also compare our i30N review here: ua-cam.com/video/ktCxKHkXwvg/v-deo.html
i30 N uses a 2L turbo. Ceed GT only has a 1.6 turbo. They're not really comparable. The i30 is a proper hot hatch. This ceed is more of a warm hatch.
Very nice, except for the clip on display wart on the dashboard.
?
I think what he's trying to explain is how in modern cars the screen or display is not integrated seamlessly into the design of the dash, but instead are "tacked on" as an afterthought.
@@JosephGrandchelli1 Bingo
Bleibt nur zu hoffen, daß der Pro Ceed und der Ceed GT auch rein elektrisch angeboten werden!
Dann hat man wirklich entspanntes Grand Tourismo!
Was ist eigentlich mit dem Einklemmschutz der hinteren Fenster? Immer noch nicht vorhanden?
Trackrot?
Why did you just change the titel of the video to 2020 when this video has nothing to do with the new navi and cockpit..?
I never changed the video title. Car models being sold mid-2019 are the 2020 models. Auto industry logic
@@autogefuehl Okay, I see! Thats was somehow confusing as the car dealers and forums are all talking about 2020 model with the new navi and co.. Ordered mine on monday ;)
Kia ❤️
Better than VW Golf
How tall are you? Also a tall individual
stated in every interior part
I would consider test driving one but they don't have the auto in the UK according to their website (Kia)......Shame!
Hmm. Maybe I try to manage with my 2017 Rio (1.0 120hp) till next spring and then visit my auto dealer for bargain
I love this channel I really do and I have no criticism of it what so ever and that includes all the testers and staff, they are all outstanding and have superb qualities.
As for the worlds cars, god they are becoming more and more boring month by month, they are becoming the same old story, same old dashboards/fascias/bezels/steering wheels......the exteriors and interiors are becoming increasingly difficult to clean as are the alloy wheels.
To me, the most un-complicated cars are still Volkswagen and if they are not to careful they will go the same way, I think the modern motor vehicle has reached an age of complication and bullshit that does not add to the driving experience.
Thanks for the support!
The previous gen looked better.
This engine also has a lot of rev hang with a manual gearbox. I've driven the ProCeed GT and it really bothered me.
Fake exhaust on the right side ? :(
Lol it has dual exhaust
Nice a normal car !!!!
myvi 2018
Why do they mount such big gear selector in a new car? Looks already out-dated.
It's just cheaper.
Middle tunnel is low and small as in many compact cars so small gear knob would be hard to reach. This way you can rest your hand on an arm rest and still be able to grab it I guess. That being said I also prefer the look of smaller gear leavers and without this leather pouch like in manual.
Thanks for the review! This car loses to its rivals!
...a new Sonata is made well!!!
😎👌
Hotch hatch :D
2:11

Gut catch
2:08 what's a hotch hatch??
high horse power versions of hatch cars: ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=autogefuehl+hot+hatch
Looks like an A Class and a Focus had a hot night.
you seem to be an animal lover
respect and love for our fellow beings :)
😅zuzusjajajia
Cee apostrophe D
not anymore :D
Only one exhaust pipe smokes, kia makes cheap things)))
Porsche front lights.
Audi climate controls.
Mercedes steering buttons.
Volkswagen cup holder.
Overall about the car: Designed by the Germans. Made by the koreans.
Will dominate the world soon! Lol
this looks like a peugeot.... fail kia...
This looks way better than a Pegueot, more like "Pukeout"!
Kia sucks
Oh yeah.... And what about the land rover Tata motors?
Looks okay, except the black reflector plastic bits on the rear bumper.
Three main things to remember:
1) The Ceed GT is an amazing automobile. Thomas is a great reviewer.
2) Germany is beautiful and I miss living there.
3) Birds are first, humans are second.
