The all new Kia Ceed is spotted testing
Korean manufacturer Kia are hard at work on developing a brand new Ceed addition for the road and the vehicle has been seen out and about undergoing tests. The new model is essentially a facelifted version of the current Ceed and will see changes made to the bodywork and to the engine inside of the vehicle also. The car was seen out on public roads in the snowy conditions surrounded by black covering hiding some of the new features that the firm plan to bring to the table. A brand new design for the back end of the car and a set of revamped bumpers at the back are the ending result in what seems to be a mid-life refresh.
The big news here however is the potential additions of added engines into the car. There could be a range of new turbocharged petrol engines coming into the car much like they have done with other revisions made to Kia cars this month. A 1.4 litre and a 1.6 litre unit are now being offered amongst some of the vehicles siblings so with other models being revised, there is a possibility that the Ceed could also receive some adjustments in the same way. There is no information available as of yet concerning how much the car will cost or when it will go on sale but we expect to see it land within the next year.
