The new Kia Ceed Sporstwagon is on display at the Geneva Motor
Show floors. The station wagon looks identical to the hatchback up to the
B-pillar, and after that it gets a longer roofline and an extended rear end for
that additional boot space and increased practicality.
Looking at the car’s rear, we couldn’t but notice
the similarities of the Sportswagon’s tailights with BMW’s 6-Series Gran Coupe, did you think so?
The Ceed Sporstwagon gets the same
interior as the five-door hatch, with a floating-style infotainment system and
plenty of gear available, depending on the selected trim.
Higher spec versions will come with heated and ventilated
front seats, heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control, wireless phone
charging, and a host of driver assistance features. Moreover, customers can
choose between different driving modes, including Sport.
The engine lineup will likely include all the units
already available on the hatchback, such as the 1.0-liter with 120 PS,
the 140 PS 1.4-liter and a less powerful 1.4-liter petrol. The automaker
hasn’t cut back on diesels, as the 1.6-liter CRDi is offered with two outputs,
115 PS and 136 PS respectively.
Kia has more derivatives of the new Ceed in store,
and one of the models expected to arrive is the GT hot hatch, probably joined
by the Shooting Brake, while later on a Ceed-based SUV might complete the
lineup.
