All-New Kia Ceed makes UK debut at London Motor Show

The all-new Kia Ceed is making its UK debut at the London Motor Show ahead of its on-sale date from 1 August this year. The Ceed will be displayed on the World Car of the Year stand at ExCel London from the 17-20 May.

Commenting on the UK debut of the Ceed, Mike Rutherford, World Car of the Year Juror, Director and Vice-Chairman said "The Kia Stinger came close to winning the World Car of the Year title in 2018. And the all-new Ceed looks like it will be a contender for the gong in 2019.

"We're delighted that Ceed is making its UK debut on the World Car Awards stand at the London Motor Show -- Britain's motoring event of the year."

The five-door hatchback made its World Debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March with a new naming format – cee’d becomes Ceed – consolidates its reputation as a car for the Community of Europe, with European Design.

Designed at Kia’s European Design Centre in Frankfurt by a team led by the now-legendary Peter Schreyer, this car is the first of a whole new family of Ceed models to be launched over the next two years.​

Built at Kia’s modern and highly-robotised factory in Slovakia, the Ceed will initially be available with both petrol and diesel engines including smaller, turbo-charged engines to help reduce emissions and improve economy. Both manual and dual-clutch automatic transmissions to give customers class-leading refinement control and driving pleasure whatever the road conditions.​

Tested exhaustively on European roads, Kia’s test tracks in Korea and at the infamous Nürburgring race circuit in Germany, the all-new Kia Ceed will provide relaxed and safe family motoring and easy, economical long-distance motorway cruising for those who use their cars for business or travel.
