Some cosmetic surgery here and there to make it even more sporty interior with fine finishes, a lot of technology, new engines and a parsimonious change that helps to protect the environment
Look even sportier, more comfortable interiors and quieter, more efficient engines, the new 7-speed automatic transmission and the latest technological equipment. Here is the new Kia cee’d which, since its launch on the European market in 2006, has sold, including sedans and station wagons, more than one million units. About a fashionable design, refined interior and equipment that receive the consent of a large audience. The redesign of the 2015 model maintains the hallmarks that have made it a success, with some nice touches that make it even sportier, as the front grille “tiger-nose” that now presents a plot redesigned front bumper and larger and with additional headlights framed by glossy finishes. Same for the rear bumper, which is today with headlights and new LED reflectors. Also new alloy wheels 16 or 17 inches – depending on the version.
The interior has been made even more comfortable and refined, with glossy trim framing the stumentazione and air vents on the dashboard . The center stack was made with a scratch resistant finish, gloss black to contrast with the chrome trim on the exchange and on the door panels. Also improved soundproofing, for a living assured effect. Also new is the Kia Navigation System with 7-inch screen and the Kia Connected Services, managed by the system
Tom Tom that provides updates on traffic, speed cameras and local weather. “All these data transmitted in real time is an important contribution to the tranquility travel under all conditions – add the house – along with the availability of the Kia cee’d Connected Services customers will benefit from free on updating maps for seven years.”
On a more technical, the most interesting is the new dual-clutch DCT transmission Kia – standard on 1600 diesel CRDi 136 hp – which was “designed to fit the high torque of the new engine and to provide a better balance between utilization of power, ride comfort and efficiency compared to conventional automatic with torque converter that replaces “explain by Kia. But the feature that stands out most in the new automatic transmission is the increased efficiency that gives the engine and saving in terms not only of fuel but also the CO2 emissions that come down now to 109 g / km (compared to 145 g / km of the previous version with 6-speed manual transmission). Among the many changes made to the mechanics and technique, it deserves special attention the adoption of the “torque vectoring”, a help that occurs when cornering by applying a brake force to the inside wheel, with the effect of reducing the tendency to understeer.
no shortage of technological equipment of active and passive driver assistance, among which we find the new system SLIF (Speed Limit Information Function), with traffic sign recognition – available on request – which supports the BSD (Blind Spot Detection) and RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert). “It ‘was also further improved the system SPA (Smart Parking Assist System), capable of measuring with ultrasonic sensors necessary space for parking and automatically perform steering maneuvers. The new version also allows you to enter the car in the space perpendicular (parking comb) and governs the steering maneuver even in output in confined spaces “, by specifying Kia.
A wide range of engines complete Euro6 the offer of the new Kia cee’d hatchback and wagon, plus the all-new three-cylinder 1000 T-GDI I (Turbo Gasoline Direct Injection) “designed to reconcile the downsizing of engine capacity with maintaining performance and pleasure driving characteristics typical of larger engines “, continuing from the house. “Developed independently by Kia Center R & amp; D of Namyang in Korea – stress – the new engine has the basic features direct injection of petrol at high pressure, exhaust manifold integrated into the cylinder head and a cooling system ‘smart’ that improve efficiency and reduce emissions. ” The new engine subjected to the “slimming” in vogue, “is the first fruit of the engine downsizing strategy Kia to debut in Europe and will be offered in two versions with outputs of 100 hp and 120 hp; the maximum torque for both is 172 Nm and is available from 1500 to 4000 rev / min to ensure a prompt response to the accelerator and an excellent recovery at all speeds, “they conclude the headquarters.
