Kia Cee'd Hatchback Sydney Australia


Kia Cee'd Hatchback has Five engines. Of the two petrol engines, most people prefer the 104bhp 1.4-litre petrol, which is so eager and flexible that is more expensive paying more for the 120bhp 1.6, which is surprisingly flat at low revs.

Kia Cee'd Hatchback 1.6-litre diesel is available in 89- or 113bhp versions. Most Australias prefer the higher-powered model; Kia Cee'd Hatchback it’s punchy, flexible and is keen to rev. There's also a 138bhp 2.0-litre diesel, but it's not worth the extra over the 1.6.
Ride & handling The Cee'd can't match a Ford Focus for fun or a VW Golf for comfort, but it's a decent drive.

It is Light, responsive steering makes it nimble around town and it feels assured when pushed on Australian country roads. The ride is generally comfy, but Kia Cee'd Hatchback suspension thuds over sharper bumps.
Refinement While the entry-level 1.4 revs sweetly, the 1.6 petrol engine is boomy at speed. Kia Cee'd Hatchback 1.6-litre diesel engine is easy on the ear, whether you're working it hard or not. Wind and road noise aren't intrusive, but there are quieter motorway cruisers in this class. Kia Cee'd Hatchback suspension thuds noisily over larger bumps, too, while the gearchange is notchy.
