Why buy a used Kia Ceed?

The Kia Ceed is a bit of a secret superstar. It's a versatile, well-built car with a strong level of standard equipment, and it manages to offer plenty of space while being small enough to be easy to park.

If you need more boot space, the Kia Ceed SW estate has a 608-litre luggage capacity – up there with the best in class.

Popular Kia Ceed trims for sale at Motorpoint

Unlike Kia's smaller cars, there's no basic 1 trim here. The de facto entry-level 2 trim is superb value, while looking smart and offering plenty of creature comforts and must-have phone connectivity. 3 adds luxuries; GT-Line and GT-Line S versions add sporty styling and intricate brake light clusters.

Owning a used Kia Ceed

Most used Kia Ceed cars have a turbocharged petrol engine. Even the 1.0-litre engine has enough oomph to easily get the car up to speed and stay there, while the more powerful 1.5 engine is brisk yet still capable of wallet-friendly fuel economy. Kia's family hatchback also has a stellar reliability record and a confidence-inspiring driving experience. You might not actively love it, but you'll almost certainly enjoy living with a used Kia Ceed.

Other models you may be interested in

Alongside the likes of the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf, you could consider the Vauxhall Astra, Peugeot 308, Toyota Corolla and Skoda Scala.

Kia Ceed FAQs

The Kia Ceed has always been available as a five-door hatchback and as a roomier SW estate, but the latest version (introduced in 2018) adds a couple of extra bodystyles. There’s now the ProCeed shooting brake – a swoopier take on the Ceed SW estate – and the Kia XCeed crossover, both listed separately. Our Ceed listings cover the hatch and the SW estate. The Kia Ceed range was facelifted in 2021, with a slightly sharper-looking front end.

At 4.3 metres long, the Kia Ceed sticks steadfastly to the family hatchback size. You won’t struggle to park a Ceed if you’re swapping from a Focus or a SEAT Leon, especially as a reversing camera comes as standard. Not many cars like this offer a camera as a no-cost feature.

There’s plenty of room for four adults (five if they get on well with each other), and a 395-litre boot that’s a little bigger than an equivalent Golf or Focus. The ProCeed isn’t quite so spacious in the back but has a 594-litre boot, while the Ceed SW estate offers both rear-seat space and a 625-litre boot that can swallow whole postcodes.

The bulk of the Ceed engine range is made up of pretty standard petrol and diesel engines, although a plug-in hybrid is available on some versions. Low-to-medium mileage drivers are served well by the petrol engines, while motorway mile munchers will gravitate towards the 1.6-litre diesel.

In a recent Driver Power survey, the Kia Ceed was ranked far above the VW Golf for reliability by owners. You shouldn’t have any issues behind the wheel of a Ceed but, if you do, Kia’s seven-year warranty is one of the best in the business.

Kia Ceeds fitted with the 1.0-litre petrol engine occupy groups 8 and 9 out of 50, while the more powerful petrol engine and the diesel engines go up to group 15. Stick to the 1.0-litre engine if you want the cheapest possible insurance costs, but no Ceed should be expensive to insure – its groups broadly match the smaller Ford Fiesta.
