The model

Read full review

The Kia Ceed Sportswagon is competitive in lots of areas but, unlike the best rival estates, it fails to be outstanding anywhere and give us a compelling reason to recommend it over the better-handling Ford Focus, the more practical Skoda Octavia, the fuel-efficient Toyota Corolla or the more refined and comfortable Volkswagen Golf. The option of a PHEV is great for company car drivers, but that's not as good as the similarly priced and much bigger Skoda Superb Estate iV.

The trim

See full equipment

No Ceed Sportswagon is poorly equipped. Even entry-level 2 cars get automatic headlights, air conditioning, cruise control, 16in alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and all-round electric windows.Plus you can add the 8.0in touchscreen with smartphone connectivity (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), a reversing camera and lots of safety kit. However, pricier Ceed Sportswagons offer greater versatility.

The engine

See full engine specs

The cheapest petrol engine is the 118bhp 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder (1.0 T-GDi) that provides the sort of pace most buyers will find adequate (0-60mph takes 10.9sec), even on the motorway. Just bear in mind that it does need plenty of revs to get up to speed and will struggle with heavier loads.
