Motoring 62

The interior has been worked considerably, nice touchy feely plastics have been incorporated. I was impressed by the level of comfort facilities within the vehicle and the first time in a good many years I experienced not just electric warming seats but an electric cooling system within the seats, it has to be experienced to be believed.

Kia has followed the majority with a full suite of driver aids and safety features, it includes a blind spot collision warning, lane keeping assist, hi-beam assist, driver attention warning, forward collision avoidance assist, hill start assist, the list is quite endless and I do wonder where it will end and when the autonomous driving car will become more and more acceptable. There were certain features I am sure many owners would actually want to disengage, The vehicle will adequately accommodate 4 adults and with a boot space of 426 litres with the rear seats left in place and 1378 litres if they are folded down, it is a vehicle that will accommodate your luggage. I particularly liked the power tail gate, it is one of those features until you have actually been utilised one, you wonder how you managed without.

If you are looking for a vehicle that comes with literally all the bells and whistles you could ever ask for, then the XCeed has to be high on your list. When you add in the wonderful 7-years, 100,000 miles warranty, that Kia have attached to the vehicle, you have to believe in the product.

The vehicle as tested had an on the road price of £28,880.
