2013 Kia Ceed Price

Pricing details are released for the new generation Kia ceed in the British market, and the new good-looking hatchback starts at £14,395.

It’s going to be hard choice then between this and the Hyundai i30. They are the same after all. New cee’d is available with a state-of-the-art direct-injection petrol engine for the first time and is the first Kia in the world to offer a dual-clutch automated manual transmission.  It is still one of only a handful of compact hatchbacks to have independent rear suspension. The car comes with choice of two petrol and two turbodiesel engines, and 6-speed transmissions across the range including Kia’s first ever Dual Clutch Transmission.

Available in five specification levels, the 2013 Ceed also features high-end technology features such as Parralel Parking Assist and Lane Departure Warning systems.
