-
Solid, unpretentious, dependable. These are terms you might use to describe the VW Golf, but it’s actually Kia’s family hatchback, the Ceed, that we’re talking about here.
-
The Ceed has a subdued design – but that actually rather suits its no-nonsense, unflashy nature.
-
It feels well balanced and enjoyable to drive with consistent levels of grip and good body control in corners, but the ride is something of a mixed bag.
-
Inside, all the easily visible and accessible surfaces are finished with good quality, soft-touch plastics.
-
The Ceed is also very spacious, with the rear seats positioned lower in the car to provide really good headroom, meaning that it should be able to accommodate passengers over six feet in height, with plenty of legroom, too.
-
The boot is large, measuring 391 litres with the rear seats in place (it rises to 1,291 litres when those rear seats are folded down), making it among the best in class – and bigger than you’ll find in a VW Golf, Renault Mégane or Seat Leon.
