Kia guns for Focus with new cee’d

Kia cee’d 2 1.6 CRDi 6-speed manual ISG car test review

Verdict

What a long way the South Korean car companies have come over the past decade. This new Kia cee’d is compelling evidence of how far Kia has progressed and why you should consider the new cee’d as part of your firm’s company car policy.

The new cee’d can not only hold its own against tough competition in any company car comparison, it is now very close to the class-leading Focus and Golf.
