The Kia Ceed was the first car developed and built in Kia’s new factory in Slovakia in which they invested £1.1 billion and it turned out to be an excellent vehicle; consequently a fair proportion of our Kia contract hire sales are to those who have chosen the Ceed and with good reason; the car looks great and its exceptionally well built.
The interior of the Ceed is well laid out and of good quality, far removed from what Kia used to produce and more along the lines of a Volkswagen; Kia leasing now appeals to the more discerning motorist. Whilst it was not designed to be an exciting car, it nevertheless drives extremely well and it’s economical; depending on the model you choose, you can get up 67mpg combined fuel cycle.
Taking this economy into account and Kia’s seven year warranty, it’s no surprise that the numbers of those looking to lease a Kia Ceed are on the increase; no other manufacturer has dared to match Kia’s warranty. When the warranty increased to seven years, this inevitably had an impact on Kia’s residual values, making leasing a Kia Ceed, exceedingly good value for money. A good alternative to Kia Ceed contract hire is the Hyundai i30.
