The Kia Cee’d has impressed once again by winning the Best Used Car accolade at the Carbuyer Best Car Awards.
Carbuyer judged the Cee'd and its competitors with their highly regarded review approach, prioritising the ownership factors that matter most. When summing up running costs, practicality, reliability, manufacturer care, style and equipment, the Cee’d came out on top.
Scoring a remarkable 4.6/5 in the road test and being praised for its value for money, smooth ride and practicality, the Cee’d thrashed some pretty tough competition.
Editor of Carbuyer, Stuart Milne, commented on the win:
‘The Kia cee'd is more than a match for the most upmarket of brands in terms of quality, but it's the reassuring seven-year warranty that really sets it apart. The warranty, coupled with Kia's reputation for reliability makes it a brilliant and worry-free used car choice.’
Really, it’s no surprise that the Cee’d is getting some recognition considering it boasts excellent features including satellite navigation with European mapping, park assist, Bluetooth audio and telephone connectivity, smart key entry, reversing camera display. There’s also substantial storage and passenger space that makes for comfortable drives.
Combine this with the quality diesel engines and you can definitely see Carbuyer are on to a winner. The 1.6-litre CRDi is smooth and responsive, claiming an impressive 10.4-second 0-62mph time and a top speed of 121mph. Sophisticated suspension, great handling and plenty of grip can also be expected from the Cee’d.
