Overall Rating
Kia XCeed:
The Kia Ceed is a compact car/small family car produced by the South Korean manufacturer Kia From 2006 exclusively for the European market.
It is the first Kia vehicle to be designed entirely in Europe and tailored to European customers. To mark the occasion, Kia took the initials of the European Economic Community, EEC or CEE in several languages and added ED for European Design. Realizing that "CEEED" had too many ‘E's, they replaced the last 'E' with an apostrophe, with 'Cee'd' being the end result. From 2018 to 2026 the Ceed name does not include an apostrophe. The initials now mean "Community of Europe, with European Design". The model has been manufactured at the Kia Motors Slovakia assembly plant in Žilina since October 2006. The Ceed replaced the Cerato which had little success in Europe....(Read more on Wikipedia)
