The 2024 Kia Ceed is a petrol hatchback with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the CD LCI generation. The SW 1.5 T-GDi 160 GT-Line is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured SW 1.5 T-GDi 160 GT-Line version develops 160 hp and 253 Nm (187 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 8.6 seconds, which is measured, with performance geared more toward normal driving than acceleration. Top speed is listed at 208 km/h (129 mph). Its power output is about 25% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 19% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 6.4 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 47.0 litres (12.4 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 146 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,600 mm (181.1 in) in length, 1,800 mm (70.9 in) in width, and 1,462 mm (57.6 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,650 mm (104.3 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 625 litres (22.1 cu ft), expanding to 1,694 litres (59.8 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,402 kg (3,091 lb). That cargo volume is about 69% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of 1.5 T-GDi 48V GT-Line and SW 1.5 T-GDi 160 GT-Line. Across the range, the specifications span 160 hp and 8.4 s to 8.6 s, while listed starting prices run from $27,500-$31,000. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby petrol hatchback models from the same period, the 2024 Kia Ceed is strongest on cargo capacity, while power and acceleration stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
