The KIA CEED (2018-22) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 CRDI MHEV 134 DPFR SS EU6 3 6SPD is a five-door family hatchback, offering a practical alternative to a small SUV. It sits in the UK’s popular mid-sized class, competing with the Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf and Vauxhall Astra, with useful everyday space and a sensible, understated style. Diesel efficiency and mild-hybrid support suit regular commuting and longer journeys; the five-door cabin also works well for couples and small families. It is less compelling for mainly short, stop-start use. The 3 trim offers a reassuringly straightforward package, rather than an overly showy one.
