First Impressions
End of May in Hamburg. Kia invited to the national press launch of the cee'd. In the so-called Hatch-back, hot wants to launch a new hatchback cee'd variant in Germany. The combination is called sw available in September, the three-door cee'd is per the following spring.
Four engines, two diesel and two petrol engines available for launch on 06/01/2012. With 73 kW (100 hp) is the 1.4 CRDi. Attract is the best trim level, which gives it only with this engine and play in the registration statistics probably not even a minor role.
At the beginning of the diesels driving pleasure with the 1.4 CRDi 90 with a capacity of 66 kw (90 HP) (Edition 7). All engines have in common is that they are connected in series with a manual six-speed gearbox. In addition to the double-clutch gearbox for the petrol Kia offers more for the 1.6 diesel it a classic six-speed automatic.
All four engines are characterized not just by high agility. This is surprising for the "big" diesel, which mobilized just 260 Nm. To be fair, it must be added however, that the family of cee'd will usually also be moved only partially sporty. For normal operation of these vehicles are motorized so absolutely sufficient.
Driving behavior
Entirely convincing, however, is the tuning of the chassis. Our paths through the Hamburg harbor were often covered with cobblestones over which hovered near the Kia cee'd. No rumble, no rumble, only with very pleasant ride comfort taut character. Such impressions are positive throughout the vehicle visible. The process has reached a high level of radiation from the materials used solidity, giving the impression of sitting in a car one class higher.
Equipment and Options
The features list of the Kia cee'd is summarized briefly and encouraging sensible packages. But the basic equipment, depending on the variant to call almost comprehensive. In any case saves Kia not at the security. Six airbags, electronic stability control + traction control and a hill-start assist are also series such as counter-steering assistance and active brake light.
An audio system, multifunction steering wheel, power mirrors, front electric windows and trip computer and daytime running lights complement the cee'd Attract already in the base variant. From the Edition 7, the air conditioning and a leather-trimmed steering wheel on board. From vision, there is included a LED daytime running lights, fog lights, Bluetooth and heated seats on Top
Almost luxurious, shows the spirit. 16-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, rain sensor and a lumbar support for both front seats are then installed for example. Optionally, to order depending on the variant packages that include, among other things, bi-xenon headlights and also a lane assistant.
Conclusion
With the new Kia cee'd sets the bar once again a bit later. The all-round well-made car has plenty of room for all passengers and is well prepared for the daily operation. In addition a dynamic look that is supported at the moment but not yet by the same dynamic engines. For the entire engine range has to be mentioned sparingly, and depending on engine equipped with a start-stop system.
