The Kia XCeed has always stood out by blending SUV confidence with hatchback agility, and the new 2026 model takes this balance even further. With updated mild hybrid engines, simplified trims, and fresh design touches, it’s the crossover that’s built to fit modern life.
Under the bonnet, a responsive 1.0-litre turbocharged mild hybrid engine now leads the line-up, while the flagship GT-Line S trim boasts a powerful 1.6 T-GDi 177bhp engine for drivers who want extra performance. Both options deliver a smooth, capable drive with the choice of manual or DCT automatic transmission.
The line-up is now simpler too: choose from Pure for generous standard equipment, GT-Line for sport-inspired design and technology, or GT-Line S for the ultimate XCeed experience. Inside, you’ll find modern technology, refined comfort, and the practicality to handle everyday journeys or weekend adventures with ease.
With striking new paint options, a confident road stance, and Kia’s 7-year/100,000 mile warranty, the 2026 Kia XCeed is ready to take you further — with style and confidence built in.
The new Kia XCeed is available in three trims — Pure, GT-Line, and GT-Line S — each designed to balance style, technology, and everyday practicality.
Whether you’re looking for the well-equipped entry-level Pure, the sportier GT-Line with added convenience and Highway Drive Assist 1.0 on DCT models, or the premium GT-Line S with its 1.6 T-GDi engine and luxury upgrades, there’s an XCeed to suit every lifestyle and driving preference.
All trims come packed with advanced technology, comfort-focused interiors, and bold SUV-inspired design.
