Key facts and figures for the Kia Cee'd hatchback

It sits in a competitive class, with many rivals like the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra, Volkswagen Golf and SEAT Leon

A recent facelift subtly updated its exterior styling and technology, adding to the Kia's appeal

There's an engine for most customers, with three petrols and two diesels on offer

The Cee'd is popular with owners, coming 34th out of 150 models in our 2016 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey

Key running cost facts and figures for the Kia Cee'd

The five-door Cee'd is easy to get in and out of, with four adults able to travel in comfort in its roomy interior 

Trim levels are numbered, with 1, 2, 3, 4, GT-Line and GT-Line S versions available

Bluetooth is standard, while 2 models are equipped with rear parking sensors and cruise control

The 3 trim is desirable thanks to its touchscreen infotainment system and dual-zone climate control

GT-Line versions look more athletic thanks to unique bumpers and 'ice cube' daytime running lights

The Cee'd has competent and secure handling, but it isn't as fun to drive as a Ford Focus or Mazda3

Instead Kia has concentrated on comfort and refinement, so there's some body lean in corners

The GT-Line models have firmer suspension and bigger wheels for a firmer ride and more precise handling
