2019 Kia Ceed GT 1.6 T-GDi Exterior, Interior, Drive All-new Ceed ‘GT’ designed, developed, built and sold exclusively in Europe Six-month development programme to fine-tune ride and handling Suspension and electronic driver aids adapted exclusively for ‘GT’ model Powerful 1.6-litre T-GDi engine produces 201bhp and 265Nm of torque Interior equipped with gran turismo-inspired design cues and sports seats ‘GT-Line’ has unique alloy wheel and bumper designs with sporty trim Choice of 1.0 T-GDi, 1.4 T-GDi and 1.6 CRDi engines in ‘GT-Line’ Both Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™ included as standard Unique interior and exterior design with generous specification levels The all-new Kia Ceed ‘GT’ is more accomplished and fun-to-drive than ever and made its public debut at the 2018 Paris Motor Show, alongside the all-new ProCeed ‘GT’ and Ceed ‘GT-Line’. The original cee'd ‘GT’ and pro_cee'd ‘GT’ were launched in 2013, representing the first ever performance hatchbacks from a Korean brand. The Kia Ceed ‘GT’ picks up where its predecessors left off, with an assured, engaging drive and a powerful 1.6-litre turbocharged engine, as well as a comprehensive range of comfort, safety and convenience technologies. Emilio Herrera, Chief Operating Officer for Kia Motors Europe, comments: "Our first ‘GT’ models were important for Kia. They laid a blueprint for future performance cars from the brand and proved there was a genuine appetite for faster and more engaging "driver’s cars" from Kia. The cee'd ‘GT’ and pro_cee'd ‘GT’ provided the impetus for cars such as the Stinger and Optima ‘GT’ and introduced a sporty design appeal that has inspired a range of popular ‘GT-Line’ models across our product line-up.” Herrera adds "The all-new Ceed ‘GT’ occupies a unique position in the mid-size family car segment and doesn't simply chase the highest top speed or fastest straight-line acceleration. It offers greater agility and grip on winding roads, maximum confidence and comfort at a cruise, and fast-revving turbocharged power perfectly matched to European tastes." Powerful 1.6-litre T-GDi engine available with manual transmission When the first cee'd ‘GT’ and pro_cee'd ‘GT’ were revealed in 2013, they were powered by a newly-developed 1.6-litre T-GDi (Turbocharged Gasoline Direct injection) engine. Downsized, turbocharged and quick to respond to driver inputs across the rev range, the new engine came to define the car's effortless approach to power delivery in all conditions. The Kia Ceed ‘GT’ retains this approach, with a 1.6-litre T-GDi engine exclusively for the new ‘GT’ variant. Producing 201bhp at a 6,000rpm peak, the 1.6-litre T-GDi engine continues to provide effortless acceleration and easily-accessible torque. The engine's maximum torque of 265Nm is available across a wide 1,500-to-4,500rpm rev range. The result is an engine which delivers as much of its performance as possible across all driving conditions. The Kia Ceed ‘GT’ is paired with a six-speed manual transmission as standard. With a top speed of 143mph, acceleration to 62mph is completed in just 7.2 seconds, while CO2 emissions of 155g/km (NEDC 2.0) result in a combined WLTP fuel economy figure of 38.2mpg. Innovations to make life easier, more comfortable and safer The Kia Ceed ‘GT’ provides owners and occupants with a wide range of technologies designed to make road travel as easy, comfortable and safe as possible. The standard 8.0-inch 'floating' touchscreen satellite navigation system features Kia Connected Services powered by TomTom®. The system enables full smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay™ (for iPhone 5 and onwards) and Android Auto™ (for Android phones running 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher). Standard technologies include full Bluetooth® smartphone integration, automatic lights, keyless entry and heated front seats. In addition to the car's six standard airbags, advanced driver assistance technologies enhance occupant protection, using active safety systems to mitigate the risk of collisions. Standard safety technologies include High Beam Assist, Driver Attention Warning, Lane Keeping Assist with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist - City. Additional technologies include Smart Parking Assist and pedestrian recognition for the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist system. Every Ceed is equipped as standard with Kia's Vehicle Stability Management (VSM). VSM ensures stability when braking and cornering by controlling the car's Electronic Stability Control (ESC) if it detects a loss of traction. Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/c/CarsBOOM
