Used Kia Ceed cars for sale or finance at 10.9% APR

The Kia Ceed has always been available as a five-door hatchback and as a roomier SW estate, but the latest version (introduced in 2018) adds a couple of extra bodystyles. There’s now the ProCeed shooting brake – a swoopier take on the Ceed SW estate – and the Kia XCeed crossover, both listed separately. Our Ceed listings cover the hatch and the SW estate. The Kia Ceed range was facelifted in 2021, with a slightly sharper-looking front end.

At 4.3 metres long, the Kia Ceed sticks steadfastly to the family hatchback size. You won’t struggle to park a Ceed if you’re swapping from a Focus or a SEAT Leon, especially as a reversing camera comes as standard. Not many cars like this offer a camera as a no-cost feature.

There’s plenty of room for four adults (five if they get on well with each other), and a 395-litre boot that’s a little bigger than an equivalent Golf or Focus. The ProCeed isn’t quite so spacious in the back but has a 594-litre boot, while the Ceed SW estate offers both rear-seat space and a 625-litre boot that can swallow whole postcodes.

The bulk of the Ceed engine range is made up of pretty standard petrol and diesel engines, although a plug-in hybrid is available on some versions. Low-to-medium mileage drivers are served well by the petrol engines, while motorway mile munchers will gravitate towards the 1.6-litre diesel.

In a recent Driver Power survey, the Kia Ceed was ranked far above the VW Golf for reliability by owners. You shouldn’t have any issues behind the wheel of a Ceed but, if you do, Kia’s seven-year warranty is one of the best in the business.

Kia Ceeds fitted with the 1.0-litre petrol engine occupy groups 8 and 9 out of 50, while the more powerful petrol engine and the diesel engines go up to group 15. Stick to the 1.0-litre engine if you want the cheapest possible insurance costs, but no Ceed should be expensive to insure – its groups broadly match the smaller Ford Fiesta.
