The first show of the second-generation cee'd SW station wagon was successfully held by the Korean company Kia in 2012. Description appearance likely to be boring, as this Kia product, which is an order of magnitude superior in design to the first generation model, will easily have enough admiring reviews. It is worth recalling that the first generation already proved with its appearance: a station wagon can have both sporty and dynamic outlines, and demonstrate the solidity of the exterior.
It is much more interesting to tell about what happened to the company's developers in the field of technical characteristics of the Kia cee'd station wagon.
Traditionally, it is customary to consider them according to the following plan:
- dimensions;
- chassis device;
- possible engine options and gearbox type;
- fuel consumption.
We will not come up with something new when reviewing the characteristics of the Kia Sid 2013 station wagon and will follow this plan.
Dimensions and wheelbase
In most car reviews, it is customary to give dimensions when comparing a station wagon and a hatchback. If we place two cars with these two types of body side by side, then, when taking measurements, we notice that the station wagon has a greater length (almost 1.5 centimeters). At the same time, the width of the hatchback is one centimeter more, and it is half a centimeter higher. Of course, a couple of centimeters in certain overall directions do not play a role. But for a complete visual impression, they are of no small importance. Thus, according to this characteristic, the Kia Seed station wagon is visually in a more sporty shape. At the same time, the wheelbase of the station wagon reaches 265 centimeters.
Chassis device
Scheme Kia suspension cee'd SW is similar to the hatchback one - independent in front using MacPherson struts and a stabilizer roll stability, and behind it is made as an independent multi-link.
Engine and gearbox type
Regardless of the trim level, only one 1.6-liter gasoline power unit is available for the station wagon, which allows it to develop power up to 129 horses. At the same time, the initial configurations in terms of filling are supplied with a six-speed mechanics, and an automatic transmission is installed as an option in more expensive versions. Of course, I would like to diversify the line power units more powerful engines, but taking into account the purpose of the station wagon, the installed motor is quite enough.
Fuel consumption
By purchasing the basic configuration of Kia cee'd SW, the buyer expects that acceleration to hundreds is possible in 10-11 seconds and, if necessary, travel at speeds up to 191 km/h. On average, fuel consumption in this case will be 8.5 liters in the city, about 6 liters on the highway and 6-7 liters in the combined cycle.
Deciding to purchase a more equipped, but expensive equipment with automatic transmission, the motorist is unlikely to be able to significantly reduce acceleration time or fuel consumption under various conditions, but the driving comfort with automatic transmission will be a nice bonus for the high cost of the car.
Considering all the technical characteristics of the Kia cee’d station wagon as a whole, we can conclude that Korean engineers and designers have managed to make significant progress towards perfect car in this category. In addition to a fairly voluminous trunk and a comfortable interior, this car is quite economical both in terms of fuel consumption and the cost of spare parts and maintenance. As a plus, we can add that this station wagon can compete with sedans in terms of solidity and representativeness.
Therefore, you can stop looking at the Kia cee’d SW not only if necessary to purchase a station wagon, but also in the case of choosing a sedan and hatchback.
At one time, Kia Ceed made a real revolution in its class, surprising even the most skeptical drivers with its elegant design, reliability and excellent equipment, which only played into the hands of the Korean automaker. In 2012, the world saw the 2nd generation Ceed, which we will talk about in our article. What innovations did Korean engineers manage to introduce? Will he be able to compete for a mass buyer? What are the technical characteristics of "Kia Sid"? Further about everything in more detail.
Appearance
The 2nd generation Ceed, like its predecessor, was designed at Kia's European Design Center under Chief Design Officer Peter Schreyer, whose developments have been implemented in vehicles such as the Audi TT, Audi A6, VW Golf and many more. Influence European cars quite strongly traced in the design of the new Sid, which compares favorably with its co-platforms of the Hyundai concern with a strict laconic design, not without bright details. The corporate identity of Kia, which was formed several years ago, looks just fine: the "family" radiator grille with large honeycombs, huge headlights reaching far into the fenders, a dynamic silhouette and a certain sportiness - all this characterizes the external appearance of our hero, making you love him with all your heart . In addition, the Kia Ceed station wagon looks no worse than the hatchback, and thanks to a slightly elongated roof, its profile is even more balanced.
Interior
The previous "Sid" pleased the driver with excellent ergonomics and excellent finishing materials, but clearly did not reach the level of some competitors. In the new generation, the developers have outdone themselves, because the interior design causes genuine admiration, and the optional set does not have time to surprise with its versatility. Of course, this is not a premium class, but despite this, Ceed offers much more than you expect from it. It should be noted that in all trim levels Kia Ceed is equipped with six airbags, headlights, power windows, a multifunction steering wheel, heated seats, USB and AUX connectors, a good music system, and air conditioning, which in richer versions gives way to 2-zone climate control. And if most systems are already familiar to modern cars Golf-class, the Bluetooth function with voice control, numerous tips displayed on the central display, outdoor lighting settings, a rain sensor, cruise control and a heated steering wheel are a nice addition that is not always found in class brothers. In the "Kia Sid" station wagon, in addition to the general feeling of comfort, the body adds a fair amount of practicality. In particular, this applies to a roomy trunk, the neat finish of which, to match the interior, pleases the eye with a solid performance. It is worth noting that its volume has been increased by 40 liters compared to the first generation, reaching 380 liters, which will be quite enough for a family trip. This feature can put the car on a par with such bestsellers as Opel Astra, Ford Focus and Renault Megane, where the Kia Sid (station wagon) will not be the last, the technical characteristics of which are impeccable. Finally, in addition to the standard transformation for a station wagon, the Sid's luggage compartment has a spacious underground organizer and a convenient sliding curtain.
Complete set
In are presented in three versions: basic, Classic and Premium. The intermediate version differs from the standard one in a wider range of options that we mentioned earlier (rain sensor, Bluetooth system, designer accessories, climate and cruise control). The top-of-the-line car will also delight the driver with a Supervision instrument panel, 16-inch rear parking sensors, electronic design elements and other features that contribute to driving comfort. The price for the basic version is 19 thousand dollars, and richer cars will cost you 22-25 thousand.
Specifications "Kia Sid"
For Russian market new Generation Kia Ceed offers 3 engine versions: 2 petrol 1.4 (100 hp) and 1.6 liter (130 hp) and 1 diesel 1.6 liter (128 hp). They are complemented by a 6-speed "automatic" or the same category "mechanics". Despite the amazing power for such a car, its dynamics cannot be called impressive, because the new Sid engines are designed on the basis of completely different principles: environmental friendliness and efficiency. The average fuel consumption will be about 6.4 liters, which is certainly a huge plus. Paired with the new 6-speed automatic, acceleration is very smooth and predictable, and the engine is perfectly quiet and effortless. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the suspension. Even on base 15-inch wheels, the vehicle communicates detailed condition information pavement. Ceed overcomes irregularities harshly, but resiliently and knocked down. At the same time, the suspension does not emit extraneous noise, and the adequate behavior of the car in high-speed corners can be considered compensation for excessive rigidity. In general, the technical characteristics of the "Kia Sid" leave a good impression, albeit without unnecessary "bells and whistles". Max Speed new items reaches 190 km / h, and acceleration to "hundreds" is carried out in 11-12 seconds, which is enough for an ordinary driver. The equipment of our hero also includes the Flex Steer system, which allows you to choose one of the 3 operating modes Normal, Comfort and Sport. If in comfort mode the steering wheel is light and supple, which greatly simplifies maneuvering in urban conditions, then in sports the amplifier is clamped, filling the steering wheel with an unnatural, but very noticeable reactive force.
Dimensions
As for the dimensions, the updated "Sid" in the station wagon version has become a little larger than its predecessor, having received 4510 mm in length, 1780 mm in width and 1485 mm in height. In the "Kia Sid" (hatchback), the technical characteristics are completely similar to the station wagon, however, the parameters are slightly reduced, equating to 4310/1780/1470. There is also a modified version of "Kia Pro_Ceed", but we will talk about it later.
Safety
The new Kia Ceed can be safely considered one of the the safest cars in the class, because according to the results of EuroNCAP, he received the highest rating in crash tests for frontal and side impacts. As mentioned earlier, the car has 6 airbags. In addition, it is equipped with the following systems: ABS, EBD, system exchange rate stability, an integrated active control system, a lift assist system, as well as anti-slip control, which eliminates the possibility of slipping of the drive wheels. There are others here pleasant trifles, which include child seat mounts, immobilizer, active head restraints and more.
Kia Pro_Ceed
In September 2012, the Koreans presented to the public new model, Pro_Ceed-2013, which complemented the 2nd generation hatchback and station wagon line. Of course, the differentiation has gone beyond a simple 3-door design, accommodating a number of design innovations. These were the modified more sloping roof, inclined rear pillar and converted rear glass. The length and width remained the same as the hatchback, while the height was reduced by 40 mm. In the interior, there was a place for decorative overlays, pleasing to the eye with a pleasant range of colors. Specifications"Kia Sid" Pro versions also completely copy the hatchback model.
Generally new Kia Ceed is a full-fledged European car that is able to compete for a buyer with the best representatives Golf class. It has a pleasant and memorable design, chic equipment, a well-tuned suspension and a huge number of basic systems offered at very attractive prices.
The second-generation Kia ceed Sportswagon station wagon (abbreviated "SW") appeared before the public at the same time as a five-door hatchback as part of the Geneva Motor Show in March 2012. In the fall of 2015, an updated “shed” debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show, which, in addition to cosmetic updates to the exterior (new bumpers, corrected optics and radiator grille) and interior, received a new engine and transmission, as well as a number of additional options.
Ahead, the Kia Sid station wagon does not have any differences from the five-door hatchback, but at the back, due to the characteristic, but not at all heavy-weight stern, it looks more holistic and calmer. And at the same time, it fully justifies the name "Sportswagon" due to the dynamic outlines of the body.
In the Seed family, the station wagon is the largest representative: 4505 mm long, 1485 mm high and 1780 mm wide. But the size of the wheelbase and ground clearance are identical to those on the hatchback - 2650 mm and 150 mm, respectively.
In the front part, the interior of the second-generation Kia ceed station wagon repeats the decoration of the hatchback both in terms of architecture and design, and in terms of convenience for the driver and passenger.
But the rear riders carve out more space above their heads due to the shape of the roof.
Cargo "hold" Kia ceed Sportswagon in the "marching" state holds 528 liters of luggage. The rear sofa is folded in unequal parts, as a result of which the usable volume turns into 1642 liters. In a niche under the raised floor there is an organizer tray, a “stowaway” and a set of tools.
Specifications. The power palette of the Korean station wagon of the 2nd generation was borrowed from the five-door hatchback.
Are placed on the car gasoline engines with distributed injection of 1.4 and 1.6 liters, developing 100 and 130 Horse power(134 and 157 Nm, respectively), as well as a "direct" 1.6-liter unit that produces 135 "horses" and 164 Nm of thrust.
The delivery of torque to the wheels of the front axle is handled by 6-speed transmissions - "mechanics", "automatic" and "robot" with two clutches.
In acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h, the “second ceed SW” is slower than the hatch by 0.3 seconds (10.8-13 seconds), at maximum speed it is inferior to it by 2-3 km / h (181-192 km / h), but in terms of consumption fuel has no differences (5.9-6.8 liters in mixed conditions).
In terms of design, the station wagon copies the Sid in a hatchback body: a front-wheel drive “cart” with a McPherson-type architecture in front and a multi-link configuration in the rear, an electric power steering with three modes of operation, disc brakes on all wheels, supplemented on the front axle with ventilation, with ABS.
Options and prices. The cost of the “second” Kia ceed SW, which survived the update in 2015, in Russia starts at 814,900 rubles for the basic Classic package.
By default, the passenger-and-freight model is equipped with air conditioning, a head unit, six airbags, ABS, power windows for the front doors, a multifunctional steering wheel, heating and electric adjustment of the side mirrors and power steering.
In addition, the station wagon is offered in Comfort, Luxe, Prestige and Premium versions. For the most expensive option, they ask for 1,119,900 rubles, for which you get a truly “full stuffing”.

The dimensions of the Kia Sid, like any other car, are length, width and height. These indicators are individual for different Vehicle, and are indicated in the technical specifications. The dimensions of the Kia Sid also differ depending on the body. For the easiest perception of information, we present these data in a table that clearly demonstrates the differences in length, width and height kia Sid depending on the body variant. As you know, there are three body types. This is a three- and five-door hatchback, as well as a station wagon. Depending on body type, external Kia dimensions The sid will be:
As can be seen from the table, the overall dimensions of the Kia Sid differ little depending on the body options. Significant discrepancies are noticeable only in the length of the Kia Sid (it is logical that the station wagon is much longer than the hatbacks).
