The model

Read full review

The Kia Xceed mixes SUV looks with hatchback running costs, but, compared with the regular Kia Ceed, you pay a big premium for its extra style. Proper family SUVs such as the Skoda Karoq are more practical, too.

The trim

See full equipment

This is based on 2 trim and mainly brings styling changes, including 18in wheels, premium paint and privacy glass. An adjustable front centre armrest plus adjustable lumbar support and height adjustment for the passenger seat are the only functional additions, so we’d stick with 2.

The engine

See full engine specs

This entry-level 1.0-litre petrol engine has a modest 118bhp but enough low down poke for most situations. It’s our pick of the range.
