Both the Kia Ceed compact car and XCeed crossover SUV form the eclectic Ceed range in the Kia lineup. The Ceed was first launched back in 2006, when it was actually called the “Cee’d” until being changed to “Ceed” in 2018. It was in 2019 when the Kia XCeed was unveiled, a crossover model based on the third generation of the Kia Ceed, which was itself launched at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.

The first-generation Ceed models were launched back in 2006, and were built either as a 3- or 5-door hatchback, or as a 5-door wagon design, which was known as the Cee’d SW (Sportswagon). A second generation was launched in 2012, and a third in 2018, each bringing a more angular, even somewhat aggressive exterior design to the Ceed.

The current generation of Kia Ceed cars includes both gasoline and diesel engine options. The base unit is a turbocharged 1-liter 3-cylinder engine delivering up to 118-hp and 127 lb-ft of torque. That’s paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. At the higher end, drivers can choose up to a 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-4 that delivers 201-hp, or a 1.6L turbocharged diesel engine that gets up to 134-hp and 236 lb-ft of torque.

The XCeed is based on the third-generation Ceed models, and includes heavier wheel arches and bumpers, a set of roof rails, and also has its suspension raised by 44mm (about 1.7 inches). It does have a slightly longer wheelbase, and thus it has more trunk space, but you’d probably expect that from anything claiming to be an SUV.

Those choosing the latest XCeed models also get a plug-in hybrid option that has a pleasing all-electric range of 36 miles, making it ideal for those who want to save gas by using the electric powertrain for everyday errands.
