The Kia Ceed is a family-friendly hatchback car that has been on the market since 2006.
Hatchbacks have been with us for a long time now, and they're no less popular than when we first fell in love with them. An affordable family hatchback is something of a staple diet in the UK - and further afield - and we just can't get enough of them.
And there's a good reason for that too.
Even a standard hatchback gives you the best of both worlds - you get space, performance, looks and there are plenty of models to choose from. This sector of the market is highly competitive, and that's good for the consumer as it means better cars for less money.
As flagship hatchbacks go, the mild hybrid Kia Ceed Hatchback is up there with the best. Kia is a remarkable manufacturer in that they rarely put a foot wrong when it comes to creating vehicles that tick the right boxes.
The range of vehicles that Kia offers now includes brand-new electric cars that have the performance, practicality and price tag to turn every head.
If you're looking to lease a company vehicle, a hatchback for personal use, or a car that's going to suit family days out, a Kia Ceed lease could very well be the best way forward for you.
Kia is a Korean manufacturer that was founded in May 1944, making it the country's largest and oldest manufacturer of automobiles. Kia has grown as part of the Hyundai-Kia Automotive Group and is now massive all around the globe.
Kia is known for producing affordable cars that have features usually only found in those with a bigger price tag. It has a commitment to quality and performance as well as innovation, and this has never been more apparent than now as we take big steps into the electric car market.
Another thing that Kia is known for is the incredible manufacturer warranty that covers its full range of cars and other vehicles. All Kias come with a seven-year warranty. That's impressive in itself. But, the even better news is that most Kia drivers rarely if ever have to put that warranty to use. Kia cars are among the most reliable on the market.
A Kia Ceed lease brings peace of mind and a whole lot more. To find out why we think the Kia Ceed is such a good choice, read on!
There's something incredibly seductive about sliding behind the wheel of a brand-new car - and it's not just that new car smell! A new car means new technology with improved performance. A new car means innovations in efficiency and economy. A new car means being kinder to the environment, better safety, impressive entertainment and, let's face it, it looks good!
However, as attractive as new cars are to have parked up on your drive, they're not cheap to finance. Add to that the issue of depreciation, which can knock up to 30% off the price you pay for a car in the first year (depending on the make and model), and it's a luxury that most of us just can't afford.
That's one of the reasons why leasing, whether for personal use or for business use, is such a good idea for so many people. And, it's one of the main reasons why more and more UK drivers are choosing leasing over other finance methods.
In effect, a personal contract hire is a long-term car rental. You don't own the car so never have to worry about the hassle of selling it on and taking the hit on all that depreciation (it can be heartbreaking!). You can also choose the length of your lease to suit your future plans and then drive a new car every 1-4 years.You'll pay the same price per month for your leased vehicle throughout the duration of your contract, which makes budgeting for the future simple. Personal contract hire makes driving the car of your dreams rather than just the car you can afford a reality.

AKia Ceed lease has numerous benefits and it's a car for many, many occasions. We're sure that this is intentional. Kia is well-known for listening to customer feedback and concerns, then creating cars that address requests and issues. The new Ceed Hatchback has been honed to match customer expectations and is a good all-around performer.
If you're looking for a car that looks good on the road (that front tiger-nose grille and horizontal air blade are real head-turners) and has a little bit extra on performance, you should consider a Kia Ceed lease.
A Kia Ceed is also a good choice for a family. It's incredibly economical so those with longer daily commutes can benefit from big savings.
The Kia Ceed has great stats across the board. Each trim level of the 158 bhp 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine delivers the same fuel economy and emissions regardless of which trim you choose. Both the 2, 3 and GT-Line offer 49.6mpg average consumption. They also all produce 129g/km of carbon dioxide, get to 62 mph from a standstill in 8.4 seconds, and have a top speed of 130 mph.
The Kia Ceed Hatchback comes with a choice of engines and three trim levels, each with a unique set of features designed to suit particular tastes and driver needs. Depending on your priorities, you can choose the car with the fuel type to suit your mpg fuel economy expectations.
Before exploring the overall features that the Kia brand can be trusted to have, let's take a look at the mild hybrid diesel and petrol engines alongside some of the main trim specifications:

Kias are reassuringly safe cars, and this hatchback is a shining example of Kia's commitment to driver, passenger and road user protection.
You'll get a cutting-edge selection of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to make the road safer, more enjoyable and stress-free for you and your family. This includes Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Driver Attention Warning and Lane Following Assist.
One of the many plus points with the Kia Ceed is the amount of space there is inside. Even taller drivers will find plenty of headspace and leg space. The seat and steering wheel adjustment means that you'll be able to find the perfect driving position. Front passengers will also benefit from all that space and ways to change the seating position.
If you go for the top-spec Kia Ceed lease, you get a 10-way electric adjustment and electric lumbar support. That's priceless on longer journeys, especially if you're prone to back pain or stiffness.
Take a ride in the back and the comfort is still impressive. There's plenty of room - even for a six-foot passenger. In fact, the flat floor setup means you'll easily get three adults in the back seat.
The front seats can be heated using three adjustable settings. They warm up pretty quickly, then level-off after the desired temperature is reached. This means no sitting shivering and gripping your coffee to warm up on those winter mornings. Just sit, switch it on and get on with your day.
You also get automatic dual-zone climate control so you can make sure everyone is comfortable.
So, with all that space, the Kia Ceed is a great hatchback to take you on some longer travels. And, what do you need when travelling? Luggage! That's also not a problem for this versatile car, the 395-litre boot is massive when compared to most other small hatchbacks. As standard, Kia Ceeds have an adjustable floor too - that means that there is no load lip to get in the way.
If outdoor pursuits are on your to-do list, the Ceed can accommodate all the equipment you might need. If you lower the back seats, you'll get two mountain bikes in.
Of course, a hatchback is also a great choice if you have a pet dog to take along on your adventures. Your dog will have acres of their own space in the back and will still be close enough to feel part of the family.
The Kia Ceed has an eye-catching instrument cluster in the form of two big, round analogue dials. They're easy to read and make such a refreshing change from the fully-digital dash displays on most competing models.
In between the dials you'll find your digital information display, which is also easy to read and straightforward enough to configure to your own preferences.
A 10.25-inch touchscreen sits high up on the dash - also simple to use, even without checking the manual! You'll enjoy Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which will keep you and the kids entertained along the way.
When it comes to your Kia Ceed lease, you may have different ideas for the distance and routes you imagine your new car will take you.
A truly versatile set of wheels, the Kia Ceed boasts brilliant performance for both urban and rural drives.
A closer look
If you're an urban driver, a Kia Ceed lease could be the right move. It's a car that has many features to make town driving so much easier. Whether you're commuting across the city to work, ferrying the kids to school, or picking up a shop, the Kia has you covered.
Its tight turning circle, responsive steering, and good all-around visibility make it perfect for nipping in and out of traffic, squeezing into tight parking spaces, or negotiating irritatingly small mini roundabouts.
The suspension is supple enough to deal with all but the worst potholes without much hassle too, making town driving effortless, comfortable, and fun.
The Kia Ceed is agile. It can handle even the twistiest roads like a gazelle.
Its suspension irons out rough roads so it's the perfect companion to take out in the country for the weekend. It's also got the space you need to pack full of leisure equipment - no more excuses, get out there in the fresh air or take up a new sport.
And don't forget that it's small enough to park up on a narrow village street, giving you the chance to pop into a cafe for coffee and a scone when you're finished with all that exercise!
The Kia Ceed is a capable car and the open road poses no problems whatsoever for this compact adventurer. You'll reach 70 mpg effortlessly and cruise along with ease.
The Ceed is an incredibly stable car, even at higher speeds. This makes it a reassuring motorway ride. It deals with crosswinds well too and, with all that advanced driver tech helping you along the way, you'll feel safe wherever you travel.
