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 trim level is ridiculously pricey. Even if you factor in the adaptive cruise control (only with the automatic gearbox), power tailgate, front parking sensors, heated rear seats and panoramic sunroof, JBL Premium sound system (not on PHEV models) and wireless charging, it’s almost as much money as a top-of-the-range Skoda Karoq fitted with four-wheel drive.

The engine

See full engine specs

This plug-in hybrid combines a 1.6-litre petrol engine with a battery pack and electric motor. Fully charged, it’ll do 29 miles, according to official figures, but it isn’t as swift as more powerful PHEV rivals.
