Kia shares concept sketches of new XCeed compact crossover

Kia has shared concept sketches of the new Xceed compact crossover ahead of its upcoming reveal. On Monday, the European arm of the South Korean car brand will unveil the latest iteration of the Ceed-based vehicle.

“As the best-selling member of the European-designed, -engineered, -built, and -sold Ceed model family, the XCeed has been acclaimed by customers for its commanding driving position, dynamic handling, and everyday practicality. A comprehensive range of enhancements will make it an even more enticing proposition in the popular C-Crossover segment. Joining a series of stylish exterior and interior improvements will come the option of a dynamic GT-line trim for the first time. This new variant will fuse the adventurous design cues of a crossover with the sporty vibe of a focused European hatchback,” Kia said in a recent press release.

Based on the concept art, the XCeed will sport a modern rendition of Kia's two-part tiger nose grille. The headlamps also appear to have some kind of a three-part design while possible faux air intakes line the bottom part of the vehicle’s front end. 

The rear appears to have a seamless hatchback design with multi-LED taillamps and a diffuser at the base. 

The arrival of the XCeed compact crossover will help Kia transition into a sustainable mobility solutions provider by being available with a range of highly efficient electrified powertrains, including mild-hybrid (MHEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) options.

The new XCeed will be revealed on Kia-owned channels on Monday, July 18. It is expected to be available in the European market later this year.
