New Kia Seed 2019 model year wants to become the leader of the C segment - rich technical equipment and a modern, pleasant appearance should help him in this. But is it enough to overtake competitors?

On the page all the information about the new body of the Kia Sid 2019 configuration and prices, photos, specifications, video test drive and owner reviews.

Kia Ceed 2019 is significantly different from its predecessors. Presented in five different trim levels. And if the original versions of Classic and Comfort have a minimum number of useful options, then the more expensive Luxe, Prestige and Premium can offer the driver a lot of interesting things.

The price has increased somewhat compared to its predecessor, but still does not frighten. If the predecessor in the database cost 860 thousand, then the new one is almost 100 thousand more. For the top model with a robotic transmission, you will have to pay 1,460,000. And even this is not bad - there are prerequisites for the Kia Sid 2019 to become one of the best-selling in the class.

Exterior

The new Ceed looks stylish and different from previous models more aggressive design. Volumetric air intake on the front bumper, large-mesh radiator grille, slanted headlights and narrowed rear, spoiler - all this looks very stylish.

Sid's dimensions are quite typical for this class - the length of the five-door hatchback is 4310 mm, it is based on the K2 platform. A separate highlight of the design is a convex hood, which smoothly passes into the front fenders.

The new body of the Kia Sid 2019 was made lighter and more rigid, it is half made of high-strength steels. It is also pleasant that there are more galvanized surfaces - now they are 80 percent of the total.

Interior

Design Kia interior Seed 2019 is stylish and thoughtful. There is no variety of finishing materials here, there are no special details that the eye could catch on, either. But despite this - everything is thought out and of high quality. The dashboard has a neutral warm backlight. Analog scales are located on it - all the numbers are large, clear, it is easy to read the data.

The on-board computer is concise and informative, but monochrome - which looks a little strange on a modern car.

The driver was well taken care of - his seat has side support rollers. However, there is also a drawback - a flat lumbar zone, which will cause negative sensations in people who have problems with the spine.

The rear sofa of the 2019 Kia Sid is quite wide - three people of a standard build will fit here. But there are also disadvantages - there is little legroom, even with a height of 180 cm, you will rest your knees on the back of the front seat.

From positive aspects note the reclining center armrest. The doors swing open wide, the thresholds do not interfere with getting out of the car. The floor is hard double-leaf - if desired, the level can be changed by changing its height.

Technical filling

The equipment turned out to be quite rich, the Kia Sid of the 2019 model year has options such as:

road marking monitoring system,
keyless access to the salon,
light sensor,
rearview camera,
electrically heated rear and front seats,
JBL premium audio system
front seat ventilation system,
multifunctional steering wheel,
stability control system,
dual zone climate control,
adaptive cruise control.

As for engines for Russia, we have three options available. There remains a very popular 128-horsepower 1.6-liter engine, working together with a six-speed automatic transmission. The classic layout of this motor is also preserved with mechanical box gears.

But the most interesting Kia variant Ceed 2019 - 140 hp turbo engine. with., which is equipped robotic gearbox 7DCT. This interesting combination will allow you to accelerate faster and save on fuel as much as possible - the car will spend only 6.1 liters per 100 km. Although there are many questions about the operation of the variator.

Handling Kia at a high level - even on a mountain serpentine you will feel comfortable. The steering wheel is very sensitive, rolls on corners are negligible. The chassis pleases with high stability - both in a straight line and in an arc. The tracking system helps - it informs you when you hit the markings by vibration of the steering wheel, but if active assistance is turned on, it also slightly taxis.

Kia Sid 2019 is also pleased with the increased energy intensity - you can safely drive along a bumpy road without jolts. The creators tried to adapt the car to Russian realities - the ground clearance was increased, in fact it is 140 mm.

A positive impression is made not only by the suspension, but by the whole machine as a whole. It perfectly balances comfort and practicality, so the Koreans did not fail, counting on the young audience of Kia Sid 2019 from 25 to 35 years old.

Why are we waiting for news from KIA? history of the company

Kia Motors was founded in 1944, and at that time the company was engaged in the production of bicycles and motorcycles, and was also called Kyung Sung Precision.

It is noteworthy that the first bicycle in Korea was made at the Kia factory. The Korean War caused the decline of the industry, but the participation of the President South Korea Park Chunghee provided the company with quite generous funding.

The end of the 60s was marked for the concern by the release of the first three-wheeled truck K360, but a few years later the serial production of the four-wheeled trucks Titan and Boxer, which gained enormous popularity, began.

But the appearance of the first passenger car from Kia Motors dates back only to 1974. This became the Brisa model, during the development of which Mazda was used as an example.

If we talk about the origin of the company's name, then it stands for "The one who came from Asia":

the syllable "Ki" is translated as "demonstrated to the world."
the letter "A" is a reference to Asia.

The development of the concern logo used today was carried out in 1994. The ellipse is a symbol of the globe, which is a reference to the scale and ambition of the brand. Within the domestic market, the logo is popular, based on a winged stylized “K” located in a blue circle with a black border.

The most anticipated new Kia 2018 in Russia

So, what are the most anticipated Kia innovations in 2018?

First of all, this concerns the new KIA Ceed, which will be presented at MIAS-2018. It is expected that in Russia this car will be sold as a five-door hatchback. In top trim levels, you should expect a lot of modern electronics, in particular, a parking lot, a traffic sign recognition system, etc.

However, it is known that the top version of the new model Kia Sportage, will be equipped with a turbocharged diesel engine, 185 horsepower and automatic transmission.

Habitual to our hearing in the domestic automotive market like Kia Optima, Kia sedan K5 (Korean version) was recently presented at the South Korean exhibition - modernized and updated. The 2018-2019 model of the year of release had new details in the appearance and interior trim, and the optional range was also expanded, which it could not boast of previous version auto.

new Kia Optima (K5) 2019

It should be noted right away that the entire update of this model is more of a cosmetic reworking of the car and is mainly aimed at fueling interest in it. External Kia look K5 (Optima) literally got a new "face" - the designers decided to equip the car with a stylish false radiator grille, an attractive front bumper, which flaunts LED fog lights and head lights.

The front of the new Kia Optima has undergone significant changes, which cannot be said about the rest of the body - they, in turn, have undergone not so significant changes.

So, rear end received updated marker lights with graphic LEDs and increased dimensions of the bumper, equipped with several additional sectors parking lights. A stylish solution was the light projection "K5", which is displayed on the surface of the road when the front doors are opened.

However, Russian owners Optimas will hardly have to be content with such a “trick”. Also developed original alloy wheels size 18 inches with various design patterns. On this, in fact, all the innovations regarding Kia body K5 are running out.

Speaking frankly, internal changes new Kia practically do not make the weather - inside it is still the same familiar to us. Slightly modified steering wheel shape added LED lights some interior details, an updated multimedia system with an 8-inch display, voice recognition and a modern audio system.

If desired (and additional cost, of course), seat and interior trim (steering wheel, top dashboard And door cards) can be made of dark brown leather. In this case, we can talk about really high-quality material, and not a “tick” in the column of this item.

In terms of functionality, Kia Optima 2018 received adaptive cruise control, the function of keeping the car within the lane, push-button engine start, steering wheel heating, many electric front seat adjustment modes that can be stored in the device’s memory, their ventilation, as well as the ability to wireless charging mobile phones.
