Kia Ceed
Sportswagon 1.5 T-GDi petrol FWD automatic
The Kia Ceed Sportswagon tested here is propelled by a 1.5 l turbocharged petrol engine in combination with an automatic transmission. The power unit provides 117.5 kW peak power and is used in several other vehicles of the Hyundai Motor Group. Like most other fossil fuelled cars, it struggles most with greenhouse gas emissions, namely CO2. Pollutants are managed only marginally and the vehicle fails to retain exhaust aftertreatment robustness in the Highway Test, which is characterised by full power accelerations and motorway speeds of up to 130 km/h. Here, the CO2 emissions are far above Green NCAP's gross exceedance thresholds, and the total Highway Test score is set to zero. Under very good conditions the Kia was able to reduce its consumption to 5.2 l/100 km in the On-Road Drive, which is good news to consumers using the vehicle mainly in urban and rural conditions. Overall, the Kia Ceed Sportswagon 1.5 T-GDi achieves an Average Score of 37% and receives only 2 Green stars, calling for further improvements of exhaust aftertreatment and fuel economy.
