An excellent all round family hatchback. It's a Hyundai i30 under the skin but offers a 7 year warranty to the Hyndai's 5. Good to drive and comfy to be in the C'eed really marks the point where Kia took off in the UK.
Hard to fault with a 7 year warranty, a well designed and comfortable cabin, good dynamics and proven reliability, the C'eed is a sensible choice in this market segment. It's capability and warranty have kept prices hard though.
As with most cars in this segment there is a premium to pay for diesel power. We would opt for the 1.6 petrol as it is £1,500 cheaper than the comparative diesel, the servicing is cheaper and the insurance group is the same.
All C'eed models are well equipped so we would opt for the base S spec. The 1.6 petrol is the best choice but if you must go diesel then opt for the 1.6 - the engine is powerful enough and the cars are about £900 cheaper than the 2.0.
The 1.6 petrol model in S spec at three years old with 20,000 miles on the clock should cost £8000.00. Pay £10500 for a comparative diesel.
Depreciation stays steady in the early years because the cars stay within Kia's tightly controlled dealer network.
Used Car Expert recommends that you try to buy after a big drop in depreciation and before the next one, so with the current Kia Cee'd you would aim to buy a 1 year old and sell it before it is 3 years old.
Petrol Kia Cee'd cars lose most over the first year (from new to 1 year old), so that is the best ‘nearly new’ buy in terms of car for money.
Diesel Kia Cee'd cars lose least between years 1 and 3, so this is the best buy if you want to keep the car for a while.
Petrol Kia Cee'd cars lose least between years 2 and 4, so that is the best buy on older cars.
