11 June 2019 – The new Kia XCeed urban crossover will be available with Kia’s first fully-digital 12.3-inch Supervision driver instrument cluster when it is launched across Europe later this year. Due to be fully revealed on 26 June 2019, the high-tech Kia XCeed will be one of the most technologically advanced compact cars when it goes on-sale.

The Kia XCeed is as good as it ever was when it comes to comfort and tech, and this new 1.5-litre petrol engine is punchy, smooth and refined. We have, and more than once for that matter, but Kia has now given its latest crossover a plug-in hybrid powertrain. It’s similar to the one in the slightly less style-conscious Niro PHEV, with a.

Today, in this article, we will talk about the all-new car ‘Kia Xceed’. The brand ‘Kia’ is a South Korean automotive manufacturing company. The car is a sporty compact crossover. The style of the car will be awesome.

Emilio Herrera, Chief Operating Officer at Kia Motors Europe, comments: “Our new Supervision digital instrument cluster is one of a number of optional new technologies that will be available with the Kia XCeed. Boasting a wide range of features, particularly on higher-specification models, this cluster will play an important role in displaying critical information to the driver in a clear, unobtrusive way. It will be adapted for other Kia models in future, as we seek new ways to display useful and critical information to drivers on-the-move.”

New high-resolution display designed for clarity

The Kia XCeed’s new 12.3-inch Supervision instrument cluster is designed to deliver information as clearly as possible. With a high-resolution 1920x720-pixel display, the digital cluster replaces the conventional speedometer and tachometer dials found currently in the brand’s passenger cars. Its single, seamless display incorporates pin-sharp digital dials for vehicle and engine speeds, with a fast frame-rate enabling it to react quickly and smoothly to instructions and inputs from the driver.

Between the two digital dials is a multi-function display, controlled via the multi-function steering wheel. In this portion of the cluster drivers can see turn-by-turn navigation instructions clearly in their line of sight, as well as audio information, phone calls and contacts, and in-depth trip information. This includes live and average fuel efficiency levels. The system also also displays vehicle diagnostics alerts, and enables pop-up notifications linked to the car’s various active safety and driver assist technologies and live traffic and navigation system. The multi-function central display also shows cues from the car’s Driver Attention Warning system, advising drivers to take a break if it detects signs of fatigue.

When the driver parks and switches off the car, the new cluster also plays a short graphic of the car in motion, and displays a summary of the drive. This shows the time and distance driven, the average fuel efficiency achieved, and the estimated distance remaining based on current fuel levels.

The new Supervision instrument cluster is available as an option in the new Kia XCeed, depending on market and vehicle specification. It replaces the physical dials and 3.8-inch mono-LCD or 4.2-inch colour TFT LCD screens available with different specifications of vehicle.

Drive Mode graphics

Like other models in the Ceed range, certain variants of the Kia XCeed line-up will be offered with a Drive Mode Select system. Drivers can tailor the vehicle’s handling and performance characteristics for different driving conditions, with Normal and Sport modes each adapting the car’s steering, transmission and throttle responses.

The new Supervision digital instrument cluster adapts to each mode accordingly with a range of differentiated graphics. By switching to a different drive mode, the instrument cluster displays more detailed information relating to each mode. In Normal, the display provides live fuel-efficiency gauges and traditional dials for vehicle and engine speeds, as well as additional trip information. Putting the car in Sport mode, the system offers a more prominent display of vehicle and engine speeds, with a larger, clearer read-out of the car’s current speed and engine RPM. Non-essential information is hidden away in Sport mode, minimising visual distractions.

Digital dashboards of the future

In developing the digital instrument cluster, Kia is proofing its in-car technology against future technological developments. Digital clusters are a key component for handling data and displaying information from a variety of sources, and the new system means Kia is well-placed to incorporate future cutting-edge safety and powertrain technologies in its in-car displays.

For instance, the cluster’s graphics capabilities make it ideal for displaying immersive information relating to the electrified powertrains found in an increasing number of Kia vehicles. The digital instrument cluster will be adapted in future to display eco gauges, drive mode and trip information, and even a display of the flow of energy between batteries and electric motors. The digital display will also provide a unique visual link to the Eco driving mode found in certain models. Kia’s new instrument cluster will be introduced to other mild-hybrid, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles in future.

The upcoming 2021 Kia XCeed is entering its second year of production. Based on the Ceed hatchback, XCeed is a modern crossover that is available in Europe for now. This crossover slots below Sportage SUV and above Stonic model. Kia will offer all trim levels with a standard FWD configuration. Interestingly, the AWD setup won’t be offered at all. For 2021, XCeed model will be a carryover.

As we said, it is the second year of its production, so we can expect only updates in terms of technology. Logically, the design is similar to the Ceed hatchback, but XCeed wears more muscles, and it looks more rugged. The interior is very modern and roomy. As for the performance, the arriving crossover will offer multiple engine options, and a mild hybrid variant could become available in 2021.

2021 XCeed Facelift, Dimensions

The South Korean manufacturer calls it an “urban crossover.” The 2021 Kia XCeed looks like a crossover, but we think it is far from urban. Whatsoever, this model is brand-new, and it comes with a modern appearance. While it is based on the Ceed hatchback, the XCeed looks more rugged, and it wears more muscles. Besides that, there are no real differences between the two models. Of course, XCeed comes with larger dimensions.

Whatsoever, the crossover is 173.0 inches long, which is 3.3 inches longer than the hatchback. On top of that, XCeed is 71.8 inches wide and 58.6 inches tall. The customers can choose between standard 16-inch wheels or optional 17-inch and 18-inch rims. As you can see it in the photos, XCeed crossover offers a popular Quantum Yellow exterior paint. The front fascia wears sleeker headlights and a recognizable tiger-nose grille. The rear part comes with a rakish tailgate and modern taillights.

Interior Updates

Again, the all-new 2021 Kia XCeed looks almost the same as the Ceed hatchback. The interior is very similar, but the crossover variant offers more room thanks to larger dimensions. While the XCeed is a small crossover, it offers a surprisingly spacious cabin. The legroom is ample, even behind the front seats.

As for the interior features, XCeed won’t offer anything new for 2021. Well, the infotainment system will get an update, if that counts. The cabin noise is minimal, and the seats are providing a high level of comfort. Thanks to that, ride quality is superb and pleasant. Kia offers a two-step cargo floor and a power-operated tailgate. A fully digital instrument cluster is available, and it adds a 12.3-inch display.

Hybrid Powertrain Could Become Available

Under the hood, things will remain intact as well. The 2021 Kia XCeed will offer various engine options, which is great. A 1.0-liter engine is offered as standard, and it delivers 120 hp and 172 lb-ft of torque. The optional 1.4-liter turbocharged engine is capable of producing 204 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of twisting power. Kia will also deliver a diesel powertrain.

It is a 1.6-liter that cranks out 116 horses and 207 lb-ft of torque. Additionally, the diesel engine produces 220 lb-ft of torque with optional automatic transmission. All XCeed models are using a standard 6-speed manual gearbox. We strongly recommend an optional dual-clutch transmission. Lastly, XCeed Hybrid is reportedly in the works. We don’t know if the hybrid model will become available in 2021.

2021 Kia XCeed Release Date and Price

The price of the new 2021 Kia XCeed will start at around $20,000. The 2020 model was made exclusively for Europe. However, the 2021 model could arrive in India and some other countries in Asia. The South Korean manufacturer will launch a new model by the end of 2020. However, we are waiting for Kia to release details about the rumored hybrid model.
