Long -term test Kia Cee`d: what's how much

The third week of our Long Test Kia Ceed went. Now it's time to deal with the prices and cost of service, as well as identify the main competitors of the Korean hatchback.

So, the prices for Kia Ceed begin at 589,000 rubles. This is the most budget option in the Classic configuration with a 1.4-liter engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. Of the benefits of civilization in this version, there is only air conditioning, front electric windows, audio training, ABS and two airbags.

All other versions are offered only with a 1.6-liter engine with a capacity of 122 hp. The next after the basic execution of Comfort will cost 629,000 rubles. In principle, there is already all the necessary minimum, which is required by the average buyer of a car of this class. Among the bells and whistles are an audio system with the USB entrance, multifunctionality and leather steering wheel, full electrical package, electr -moped rear -view mirrors, 6 airbags, grid in the trunk, adjusting the front seats in height, heating the front seats and foggy.

By paying another 30 thousand rubles, you can choose a version with the name Luxe from the list of configurations. The KIA company included 16-inch alloy wheels, a stabilization system, a function of assistance when touching the mountain and a two-zone climate control system. Both in the Comfort configuration, and in the suite for a 4-speed machine, another 30 thousand rubles will have to be paid.

Top Kia Ced Prestige, which ended up on our test, is equipped only by automatic transmission. Additionally, an automatic rear -view mirror, rain sensor, Supervision panel and rear parking sensors are available for prestige. Such a car is estimated at 759 900 rubles.

Note that at the time of writing the article, all versions of Kia CEED were available at a discount of 40 thousand rubles.

Of the other expenses when buying a SID, you will have to spend money on CTP, the average cost of which for the Korean hashtack is about 5,000 rubles. For the CASCO policy, Russian insurers are asking about 50,000 rubles.

The interval of maintenance for KIA CEED is 15 thousand kilometers. An important factor for many buyers of KIA cars is a guarantee that lasts 5 years or 150 thousand kilometers.

What models, besides Kia Ced, do people pay attention to whose interests of the interests of which a five-door golf-class hatchback fall? For a prerequisite, we take a 1.6-liter gasoline engine and an automatic machine.

Ford Focus III
Prices for Ford Focus III with a 105-horsepower engine and PowerShift transmission start from a mark of 646,000 rubles. The new focus is well steel and definitely wins the KIA in terms of the quality of the salon. However, a car price tag with a more powerful version of 125 hp. And a small set of options exceeds the line of 710,000 rubles.

PEUGEOT 308
The recently updated Peugeot 308 with a 1.6-liter 120-horsepower engine and automatic is not found cheaper than 675,000 rubles. The Frenchman stands out with a traditionally bright design and good quality of the interior decoration. The main disadvantage, like Kia Ceed, can be called an obsolete four -speed machine.

Mazda3
Stylish and sports mazda3 with a 105-horsepower engine and automatic transmission, air conditioning, an audio system with MP3, six airbags, ABS and front electric glasses costs 698,000 rubles. And for the well -equipped Touring, dealers have been asking for 719,000 rubles.

Hyundai Solaris
Theoretically, at the price, KIA CEED can even be competed with the best -selling Hyundai Solaris in Russia, for which they ask for 649,000 rubles. Gaught in the equipment of the top -end set Solaris Dynamic, Kia Ced has an independent rear suspension in the arsenal, the best handling and the quality of the interior decoration.

The above confirms that the key to the success of Kia Ced sales in Russia, even on the eve of the new generation, the model, besides everything else, lies in the affordable cost of ownership and in an affordable price. Perhaps not one of the competitors in the class can offer a similar set of options at a similar value, like Kia Ceed.

Ahead we have the last week in the company with Kia Ceed. At the same time, information appeared that already in the spring of this year at the plant in Kaliningrad, the production of a new generation of SID began. We will talk about this in the last part.
