Kia Ceed Hatchback (07 on) - Review

Cee'd S models come with air conditioning and a cooled glove box, electric front windows, 60/40 split folding rear seats, height and reach adjustable steering, a CD stereo, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, trip computer, driver and passenger seat lumbar adjustment and driver's seat height adjustment. GS models add 16-inch alloy wheels, USB/auxiliary inputs (plus iPod compatibility from summer 2007), remote central locking and a leather-trimmed steering wheel and handbrake. LS models come with automatic climate control, part-leather trim and electric rear windows. In addition, top of the range Sport models get 17-inch alloys, privacy glass, front fog lights, metallic interior trim and alloy pedals. In October 2009 the line-up was changed to Cee'd 1, Cee'd 2 and Cee'd 3. Cee'd 1 replaces S but adds auxiliary and USB ports, body-colour door handles, silver cloth seats, remote central locking with folding key and metallic-effect centre fascia trim. The Cee'd 2 takes over from the GS but gets front foglights and body coloured door handles. The Cee'd 3 is offered instead of LS and this now comes with iPod and Bluetooth connectivity, ESC stability control and Hill Assist (which stops you rolling back when pulling away). The EcoDynamics model comes with the same equipment as the Cee'd 2 but adds iPod and Bluetooth connectivity.
