The new KIA cee’d Sportswagon at Essex Auto Group

Essex Auto Group - Kia is delighted to announce to our local Essex motorists the arrival of the new KIA cee’d Sportswagon that began production at Kia’s European manufacturing plant in Slovakia. The cee’d Sportswagon is the second new model to be built at the facility this year and is available at Essex Auto Group KIA now.

Joanne Janes, General Manager, Essex Auto Group - Kia said: "We’re very excited to see the arrival of the cee’d Sportswagon just three months after the arrival of the stylish all-new Kia cee’d hatchback. Its predecessor, the cee’d SW, was a major success in the UK fleet and business market, and popular with family motorists – I’ve no doubt that the new model will equally capture the hearts and minds of our community in Essex.”

Replacing the former cee’d SW, the cee’d Sportswagon introduces a new model name which perfectly captures the new car’s character: adventurous, sporty, modern and technologically advanced, but with even more of the practicality and value.

On a practical level the new cee’d Sportswagon will appeal to those looking for a stylish and capacious estate car with the smallest possible footprint. The 1.4-litre CRDi cee’d Sportswagon is capable of 67.3mpg and has CO2 emissions as low as 109g/km, which means a Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) taxation rate of 15 per cent in 2012-13. Manual 1.6-litre CRDi versions, with CO2 emissions of 116g/km, fall into the 17 per cent BIK band, and are almost as sparing in their use of fuel, with official combined economy of 64.2mpg.

With prices starting at £16,895 and rising to £24,795, and low maintenance and insurance costs, the new Kia cee’d Sportswagon will be an inexpensive car to run for business motorists and fleet operators, as well as private consumers. With the fleet market so dominant, the cee’d Sportswagon will be sold exclusively in the UK with advanced and highly efficient turbodiesel engines. With their high torque outputs and low operating and running costs, they are ideally suited to the heavy loads and high mileages often inflicted on estate cars by business operators.

Like the new cee’d 5-door, introduced earlier this year, the new Sportswagon combines a sophisticated exterior design with high-quality interior materials and class-leading levels of refinement, while offering a selection of two petrol and two diesel engines across Europe. As with every Kia, the new cee’d Sportswagon comes with a fully transferable seven-year, 100,000-mile warranty.
