Specifications Kia Ceed. Kia Ceed (Kia Sid) specifications Kia ceed 2 specifications

KIA Ceed since its appearance on the "firmament" of the global automotive market has been able to radically change the attitude of buyers towards the Korean car industry.

The first KIA Sid turned out to be so successful and reliable that the facelift carried out in early 2010 was aimed only at adjusting the appearance (for the general model image) and improving consumer qualities.

At one time (since January 2007, when the model was first presented to customers), many European and Russian car owners switched to Kia cee'd from cars of famous European brands. Let's look at the best-selling Kia from the height of the model's years. And the time is right for summing up the results, because the premiere of the second generation Kia ceed.

The exterior of the KIA ceed car can be described as restrained and harmonious, without aggressive accents. It seems that in such a peaceful design lies the success of the model and its popularity among different representatives of the age categories of car owners.

The front of the KIA LED looks slightly frowned due to the shape of the front lighting technology (headlights of complex shape) and the beak of a false radiator grille with a chrome edging. A bumper with a lower air intake and side-mounted foglights harmoniously complements the basic lighting technology. The hood has characteristic ribs. Originally passing through the plane of the cover engine compartment and the vyshtampovki soaring up seem to merge with the front roof pillars.

Sidewalls body kia cee'd - the personification of the style inherent in European cars, all elements have smooth transitions and are devoid of loudness and kitsch. Circular wheel arches slightly inflated (able to accommodate tires with discs 225/45 R17), mirrors - with trendy repeaters.

The proportions of the body are pleasing to the eye, with the roofline sloping towards the rear. The stern is sculpted, the powerful rear roof pillars create a sense of confidence and security. Elegant taillights - "chandeliers" are located high, the fifth tailgate has a large glass area, correct and convenient configuration. Ends track with the name KIA Ceed rear rounded bumper. The car in a five-door hatchback design demonstrates both solidity and excitement by its appearance.

External Kia dimensions cee'd: length - 4235 mm, width - 1790 mm, height - 1480 mm, base - 2650 mm, ground clearance - 150 mm.

The internal component continues the calmness and quality of the exterior. The plastics of the front dashboard are soft and pliable, well-profiled front seats and a huge range of adjustments make it possible for the driver to sit comfortably with a height above 190 cm. A comfortable steering wheel with control buttons located on it is pleasant to hold in your hands. The ergonomics and tactility of the finishing materials in the KIA ceed are commendable. Everything is close at hand, the placement of controls is intuitive.

The quality of materials and the level of assembly of the cabin are also up to the mark, even in the smallest detail. Both the exterior and the inside of the Cee'd make it clear that this is an ambitious vehicle. Ceiling handles with a microlift, power windows with an automatic opening-closing function, intelligent turn signals (swung to the side - and worked on the machine three times), dual-zone climate control in the Prestige package. And such useful "things" as heated mirrors and front row seats, electric power steering, on-board computer, adjustment of the front seats in height and adjustment of the side support rollers, rain and light sensors, parking sensors, are generally taken for granted in this car.

Dimensions (edit) salon Kia cee'd impressive, the "Korean" is perhaps the record holder in its class. In the second row, passengers will not be constrained, there is enough legroom and overhead space. Trunk dimensions are 340 liters when stowed when folded rear seats the capacity indicator rises to 1300 liters. A pleasant bonus is good (by the standards of class C) noise and sound insulation of the passenger compartment and engine compartment.

The announcement of the Kia Sid took place in 2012 and since then the car has managed to attract a lot of attention from motorists, experts in the automotive industry and critics.

It is noteworthy in the case of this model that the company, when creating it, was guided by Europe - hence the pleasant and modest appearance, as well as the outstanding quality and fit of the interior details.

The car, updated last year, as noted by the manufacturer, incorporated not only the Kia Seed 2011 technical characteristics, but also added aggressiveness and became more modern, and this applies not only to the exterior, but also to some interior elements.

At the moment, the car is being produced in Slovakia, however, the company emphasized that after a while the assembly of the modernized one will begin in the Russian Federation, at the Kaliningrad plant Kia.

It is worth noting that even with the release of the update, the vehicle was able to maintain its value at the same level, due to which Sid justifiably bears the title of one of the most justified cars in terms of price and quality.

Exteriors

The designers decided not to rush to extremes, while maintaining the overall style vehicle... The designers have made a small correction, taking into account the latest global trends. The vehicle has got an updated optics pattern, much more interesting fog lights integrated into the bumper. The radiator grille has also changed, adding in size and becoming more stylish.

The lower parts of the side doors were supplemented with a longitudinal rib, and the outlines of the body became more elongated and now it resembles a rifle bullet. This decision influenced aerodynamic drag and, in fact, the fuel consumption of the car. It is possible to notice the differences in the profile of the update and the predecessor by the new rims, which received a much more curious and beautiful pattern.

The rear of the car has a massive bumper and updated dimensions that add aggressiveness to the vehicle. The designers emphasized that the main task is to change the exteriors towards a more aggressive appearance.

The dimensions of the car have hardly changed:

  • Length - 431 cm;
  • Width - 178 cm;
  • Height - 147 cm;
  • The wheelbase is 265 cm.

As before, the car will be presented as a hatchback or station wagon. The latter type is in great demand in our country, since it has a stylish, sporty-aggressive appearance, and it is also characterized by greater practicality in daily use. In general, the Kia Seed Station wagon technical characteristics make a positive impression.

One of the main advantages of the updated version is the interiors, which have become not only more respectable, but also characterized by better spaciousness in comparison with the others. The manufacturer emphasized that the vehicle interior is much more expensive and of high quality in terms of finishing materials.

It is important to note that the gloss used to decorate some interior elements is made of a scratch-resistant material, which is a significant advantage over competitors whose gloss finish is rapidly covered with scratches.

In addition, the car interior became significantly quieter, which was realized through the use of the latest sound-insulating material, thus, in no way inferior to European counterparts.

It is curious that an individual dashboard which has become more stylish and elegant.

On the new car, the steering wheel received extensive multifunctionality, which in more expensive versions can be trimmed with leather High Quality... Transport has acquired a push-button engine start system, which now has a pleasant-to-touch brushed aluminum.

The driver's seat is characterized by excellent balance, and is also capable of providing good lateral support, and due to the large number of adjustments behind the steering wheel, drivers of any size will be able to sit down.

The back can accommodate three adults, while the feeling will be quite relaxed - there is enough space not only in the area of ​​the shoulders and knees, but also higher, so the new updated version is perfect as an affordable family car.

If we talk about the Kia seed hatchback technical characteristics, then the car is not characterized by huge space and is limited to only 380 liters, but the backs of the seats fold, thus increasing the amount of space for cargo. In the universal version, the volume increased to 528, which can be increased more than 3 times by folding the second row seats.

For the most part, vehicle interiors have become better quality and more ergonomic. The fact that Kia paid a lot of attention to nuances, which is not particularly typical of Korean cars, deserves a separate mention.

The updated car got upgraded suspension, with which it turned out to significantly reduce noise and vibrations transmitted to the vehicle interior. Also, the designers installed updated struts and hollow-type stabilizers, which had a positive effect on lateral stability... The changes were made to the steering wheel settings and the geometry of the front wheels.

A number of engines, as before, are represented by solutions of gasoline and diesel type. Gasoline options are represented by two units:

The first with a volume of 1.4 liters and a hundred Horse power... Such an engine accelerates to a hundred in less than thirteen seconds, and gasoline consumption is no more than six liters with a combined cycle.

The 1.6-liter version is capable of delivering 130 horsepower, characterized by more dynamic acceleration. It accelerates to 100 in 11.5 seconds, and fuel consumption is around seven liters.

Diesel units for 1.6 liters with a capacity of one hundred or 136 horsepower. The acceleration dynamics for both options is no more than eleven seconds. The gearbox plays an important role here. Fuel consumption is not more than 6.4 liters in case mixed cycle, and the maximum indicator stopped at 195 kilometers per hour.

The charged power unit with a volume of 1.6 liters. and 204 horsepower, which is installed on the GT. A car can exchange a hundred with such a motor in just 7.6 seconds, and the maximum speed is at 230 kilometers per hour.

The buyer is provided with a number of transmission options: a six-speed manual or automatic type, or a six-band robotic variation with a pair of clutches.
