After selling over 120,000 units in Europe, Kia’s highly successful XCeed compact crossover has received a series of product enhancements for 2022 including a bold new exterior design, an enhanced interior and a new GT-line trim that brings the emotions of the Ceed GT to the popular model.

Official figures from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) reveal that Kia continues to defy the downward market trend for new vehicle sales, recording growth of 16.8% in a European passenger car market that shrank by 13.7% in the first half of 2022, year-on-year.

Kia has revealed the first official sketches of the new XCeed compact crossover ahead of its reveal next week. The updated model will receive a sharp new exterior, an enhanced interior, an all-new sporty GT-line trim level, and a range of efficient and electrified powertrain options.

The all-new Kia Sportage has been awarded the maximum five-star rating by Euro NCAP, Europe’s leading independent safety assessment programme. The Sportage performed to a high standard throughout the test process, illustrating the vehicle’s exceptional active and passive safety credentials.
