New Kia Ceed: turbo engine and obstinate robot - why do we need them? Test drive KIA ceed sw: is it possible to fall in love with a station wagon? Performance upgrade

Today in the review is one of the coolest, most interesting, running, curious cars - Kia Ceed SW 2017.

The main advantage of this foreign car is that it perfectly combines size, functionality, price and cost of operation and maintenance.

Design

The design leaves only good impressions. The car looks expensive appearance so whipped, sporty, aggressive. For the design, you can put a solid five.

Family car. The declared ground clearance of the car is 155 mm. If the foreign car is not loaded, it can easily drive onto the curb. At the bottom of the bumper is a rubber lip. Of the minor flaws, the color of the lower part of the bumper can be noted. It is painted in body color. These places could be made black, which would eliminate the need to tint the bottom.

The camera is located at the back, which gets dirty very often, so you will need to wipe it. The trunk opens to a great height, there is no electric drive. The dimensions of the trunk are quite good, but the main feature is not in the area, but in the fact that there is a secret bottom. Below it is spare wheel. The trunk is comfortable, there are many niches, organizers, this once again confirms that the car is a family car. On the side there is a place for some bottles, canisters. rear seats unfold.


Salon front

Overview of Kia Sid SV 2017 in front. The information content of the dashboard is excellent, it looks very interesting. Maximum equipment in this review. There are two light switches, a glass sunroof, it is light in the cabin, the roof is healthy, it is closed with interesting curtains on both sides.

There are mirrors in the sun visors, you can turn on the light. If you forgot to turn it off, then when you close the visor, the light turns off automatically. There are no drawers. There is a place for glasses or other small things. The light from the front is not duplicated by the light from the back. If you turn on all the lights forcibly, only the front light is on in the cabin, the rear must be turned on separately.

The auto-dimming rear view mirror works perfectly. The range of steering and seat adjustments is huge.

Between the seats are:

  • a small electric handbrake, when pressed, it slows down all four wheels, but it cannot be used on the go or in a turn;
  • two coasters, the bottoms are removed from them.
  • a medium-sized armrest: it’s good that it rides, it’s bad that there is no kind of fixation, you won’t be able to open it in the extended position, you have to push it in and then you can open it.

On the doors there are four power windows with auto-up-lowering, constricted with multi-component leather plus plastic. There is no mirror adjustment, they are behind the wheel on the panel.


Dashboard

Ergonomics of the dashboard at a high level. The display in this configuration is large, touch-sensitive, interesting and durable, it works well, but there is a small minus - if you turn off the sound in the radio, then when you turn it on, it automatically turns on.

Slip shutdown system, climate system works great. The "temp" button changes degrees to Fahrenheit. On the dashboard, kilometers are duplicated in miles, which is good for both Russians and foreigners. There are two cigarette lighters and an AUX connector, a button for turning on the car park, turning off the parking sensors.

Winter options include:

  • washer nozzle heating
  • mirrors,
  • rear window,
  • parking areas for janitors.

Tri-mode heated front seats, works great, heats everything fine. No heating windshield.

A very useful feature is the electric blower heater. When the car is cold, when you turn on the stove, heated seats and steering wheel, it immediately starts to blow hot. Wait until it warms up in comfort and warmth.

The gearbox is a robot. In terms of rate of fire: from the moment the gas pedal is pressed to the floor until the moment the foreign car takes off, it takes about 1-2 seconds, this is a very long time, not very good, but the dynamics are simply excellent, according to the passport 10.5 seconds. In city traffic, when you press the gas pedal from 60 km / h to 80 km / h, it instantly picks up speed, that is, the robot does its job. In terms of efficiency, everything is also good, consumption is 9.2 liters, 8.5 liters in the city, 5.5 liters on the highway, if you drive within 90 km / h. Can be filled with 92 petrol.

No Auto Hold button, no ashtray.

Riding on the Kia Sid SV 2017, you do not feel a lack of anything. Eco mode, auto parking, blind spot monitoring sensors work very well. The obvious advantage of ergonomics is that your knees do not rest anywhere, which is very rare for a golf-class car.

The glove box opens by pressing a button, does not have any separate key. Its size is small, but it contains an expensive handbag as a gift, instructions in different languages.


Salon rear

There is enough space in the back row, there is a small margin to the front seats. Power window controls on the doors. No heated rear seats.

About comfort: there is an armrest, two deep cup holders, the bottom cannot be removed from them, handles, light for each individually. A very small tunnel, a third person can sit down. There is an air deflector, you can open or close them. Due panoramic roof the ceiling is slightly lower, a tall person can rest his head. In general, the fit is normal, but not super comfortable.

Thanks to the anti-slip system on loose wet snow, the passenger car slowly but surely moves forward, does not dig in.


Marketing Benefits

This is modern car with excellent sound insulation, better than in previous models, the car has become quieter, more comfortable. Restyling has been beneficial. Noise isolation level with Optima, better than cerate. Not enough insulation at the wheel arches.

The Kia Sid has four engines:

  • 1.4 l, 100 hp,
  • 1.6 l, 130 hp,
  • 1.6 l, 135 hp,
  • 204 HP

You can set a speed limit, (for example, when driving locality), in order not to forget and not break the rules, 80 km / h is set: up to 80 the car will accelerate, after 80 acceleration will stop. If you need to abruptly turn off this limit, the gas is pressed to the floor and the car starts to go further.

The competitors of this car are the Hyundai i30, Volkswagen Golf. The advantage is a large number of options for less money compared to competitors. The car is very well assembled, originally created for the European market, five stars in safety according to Euro NCAP, equipped with all airbags.


Prices

Prices start from 816,000 rubles. For this money, the buyer purchases a car with a 1.4 liter, 100 hp engine, a 6-speed manual gearbox, the base includes a hydraulic booster, power windows, electric mirrors, in general, there is a minimum set. The maximum configuration "Premium" costs 1,269,000 rubles. Warranty like any Kia - 5 years for 150 thousand km.

Technical part

The suspension is multi-link. The foreign car holds the road flawlessly. You can adjust the steering stiffness for yourself: there is a Comfort and Sport mode. Suspension mounted stabilizer roll stability in the front and in the back. The suspension “swallows” bumps very well, very elastic ride.

The handling and stability of the car is 5 plus, at a speed of 80 km / h, in a sharp turn with passes, with an uneven road, the car enters like glued.

There is a windshield anti-fogging system, it works automatically. Up to 100 km / h Kia Ceed accelerates calmly, quickly. The sound of the motor is not particularly disturbing, but present in the cabin. Visibility for four. Small rear-view mirrors and side. Compensates for their size is that they have blind spot indicators. The view ahead is great.

Results

A novice driver can take such a car safely, he will not experience any discomfort while driving it. On a ten-point scale, cars are 9 points. I liked the iron horse, I recommend it for purchase, if this format suits you, you can safely take it.

Video Kia Ceed SW test drive

It's no secret that the debut model of Kia Sid is now one of the most significant achievements of the Korean company. The new generation of the car, which was presented to the public in 2012, has become even more successful. Kia Sid has become one of the most sought after cars in the world market.

Recently, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, a presentation of an updated car took place - Kia Sid 2017 model year. Motorists were very pleased with this news, especially since the novelty is offered in two body styles - a hatchback and a station wagon.

The restyled version brought many changes and improvements. To a greater extent, this applies to the exterior and technical characteristics of Kia Ceed 2017. The interior remains almost the same as its predecessor.

The exterior of the novelty turned out to be truly magnificent. The handwriting of Korean designers is immediately noticeable, because the car looks quite bright and instantly attracts attention.

In the design of the front of the 2017 Sid, when compared with its predecessor, there are not so many changes. First of all, it is worth noting the new fog lights, which have become more expressive, and chrome trim is noticeable around them. Between them is a stylish air intake, the size of which has increased, following the dimensions of the bumper. One level up, you can see the false radiator grill, which has become a little narrower, but the shape, as before, resembles a tiger nose. As for the head optics, the LED headlights remained the same. This moment just does not raise questions, since they have already managed to prove themselves well before. The hood also did without changes - moderately convex, with small "muscular" air currents.

This is not to say that the profile of the car is unique and unrepeatable. To be honest, you can find many similarities with other members of the class. But the developers managed to save the situation due to the falling hood - rarely anyone dares to take such a bold step, but the Koreans took a chance and did not lose. Also, it is worth noting the pretty stampings on the side doors, which give the car athleticism, as well as massive wheel arches. Thanks to the streamlined roof and the same sloping hood, the car boasts fantastic aerodynamics.

The stern was also partially transformed. Engineers installed a new bumper, complete with more technologically advanced running lights. Aggressiveness and power gives the pipe exhaust system, which resembles the turbine of a sports car. The trunk lid and optics remained from its predecessor. The same can be said about Sid's signature visor.

As it became clear, during assembly new body not used, therefore, it is logical to assume that dimensions remained the same:

  • Length - 4.31 m;
  • Width - 1.78 m;
  • Height - 1.47 m;
  • Wheelbase - 2.65 m;
  • Ground clearance - 15 cm.

Salon

It is immediately noticeable that in Kia interior Sid 2017 designers followed the same stylistic concept that was used in the exterior. The salon looks very bright and stylish. We can safely say that in this aspect, the "Korean" is not inferior to European and American competitors.

The dashboard is cleverly arranged and has incredibly convenient control compartments. It is worth noting that it is at an angle to the driver, so as not to distract him from the driving process. A touch screen is installed in the center of the panel, which displays information from the navigator and multimedia system. A little lower you can see the climate control unit.

It is worth noting that dashboard basic configuration includes only the radio, and the "rollers" of the air conditioner.

The high-tech steering wheel is equipped with additional mini-control units. Its position can be adjusted in two directions.

Under the steering wheel, depending on the configuration, there are the usual analog speedometer and tachometer, as well as a monochrome monitor, or Supervision panel with HD screen.

Not very expensive ones were used for interior trim, but quality materials. AT top trim levels you can count on chrome and glossy elements that give the car "pomp" and pathos.

The front seats are made according to all standards of comfort and ergonomics. The driver and front passenger can use side supports. Passengers back row can also enjoy plenty of space and comfort.

The base trunk capacity of the 2017 Sid is 385 liters, but this can be increased to 1,320 liters if the rear seats are folded down.
