The Kia Cee'd (correctly pronounced "seed") is a small family car released in the European market by the Korean manufacturer Kia Motors in December 2006, replacing the Kia Cerato — and available as a five-door hatchback, three-door hatchback ("pro_cee'd"), and five-door estate ("cee'd SW") with a choice of up to four engines (two petrol and two diesel), three trim levels (1,2 and 3) and either manual or automatic transmissions.

The Cee'd was designed in Frankfurt, Germany ("in Europe for Europeans") with Miklós Kovács leading the design team.^[2] Cars are manufactured in the Kia factory in Teplička nad Váhom, Slovakia.

The Kia Cee'd shares its platform with the Hyundai i30.

Beginning in 2010 the Cee'd receives Kia's new corporate grille, known as the Tiger Nose — as designed by Kia's design chief, Peter Schreyer.

Safety

Kia cee'd earns Euro NCAP 5 star safety rating.^[3] It is also remarkable for being fitted with six airbags (including curtain airbags) as standard even in countries like Ukraine where safety options were usually stripped in comparison with other countries.

Variants

Kia eco cee'd

Kia revealed a concept of its pro cee'd line, with improved aerodynamics and mild hybrid engine tuning to the diesel engine, under the name "eco_cee'd". The concept models were fitted with ISG (Idle Stop&Go) and Smart battery Power Management — which included regenerative braking.^[4]

Hybrid version

Kia debuted a hybrid cee'd model at the 2008 Paris Auto Show,^[5] and operates an evaluation fleet of in Europe^[6] — with the hybrid models featuring an electric motor powered by a high-voltage battery mounted behind the rear seats.^[7]

Media

On 27 June 2010, the Kia Cee'd was revealed as the new "Reasonably Priced Car" on the top-rated UK television programme, Top Gear, where presenter Jeremy Clarkson described it as "the only car with an apostrophe IN its name".
