The KIA CEED (2012-15) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 CRDI DPF 126 EU5 3 AUTO6 is a practical five-door family hatchback, sitting in the mainstream used-car market alongside the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf. Its 1.6-litre diesel engine and automatic gearbox make it a sensible choice for drivers who want relaxed everyday motoring without moving up to a larger car. It suits commuters covering regular distances, couples and small families needing useful rear doors and a decent-sized boot, as well as buyers who prefer an automatic. The diesel set-up can be appealing for longer journeys, while its hatchback shape remains easier to park and manage than many SUVs. mycarcheck.com has recorded 35 checks across 16 distinct VINs, showing an average private-sale value of £5,800, 64,000 miles and 9,000 miles annually.
