The appearance of the Kia Cee’D tells us that this is not an obsolete model that is striving to implement in third countries, but of course a fresh development that takes into account the changes in the current automatic car. Even the hereditary lines of the “Koreans” are not so visible here — not such “slanting” headlights, the outlines of the body in the taste of Italian designers and other little things do not “betray” the country in which it was released.
Although CEE’D belongs to the C-class, the car is larger than its rivals-its wheelbase is 10 mm larger than Ford Focus. Therefore, spacious in the cabin. Even if the driver’s chair is completely pushed back, when the fingers barely reach the pedals, the seat back does not rest against the knees sitting behind the passenger. Adjusting the driver’s seat is quite impressive. There are also two positions of the steering wheel. So choosing a convenient position behind the wheel Cee’d turned out quite easy. The review is wonderful — the racks do not close the road, and convex glass from the back allows you to perfectly feel the dimensions of the car. And thanks to them, CEE’D has a full -fledged rear seat, on which three people can fit. A number of engines in Kia Cee’d looks quite spectacular. To date, these are three 16-valve gasoline “four”, the working volume of which is 1, 4 liters (109 horsepower), 1, 6 liters (122 horsepower) and 2, 0 liters (143 horsepower). The dynamics of the 1st, 6-liter engine clearly delighted. His power is enough to make maneuvers in a dense city stream. Most likely, the CEE’D chassis was originally calculated on the dynamic type of ride. This is evidenced by autonomous pendants, shock absorbers filled with gas and on all wheels disk brakes. During the drive, the suspension reacts firmly to the pits, while the car does not shudder from shocks, telling confidence to passengers and driver. Apparently, the hardness of the body is provided enough attention, and therefore good results have been obtained. And such “seriousness” will be shown by few competitors from this class of cars. It is clear that the scrupulous construction of Kia Cee’d required significant means, that’s why you should not be amazed at the high cost of the machine in comparison with some rivals. Although its cost looks entirely competitive even in our country.
