Like the Kona (starting at 17,730 Euros), the 1.0 T-GDI is expected to serve as the entry-level option, packing 120 hp and 172 Nm from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm.<\/p>\n<p>Kia registered XCeed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office in April 2017, featuring a graphical representation similar to how the nameplate is spelled. As for when the real deal will be unveiled, chances are the crossover will go official at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s understood Kia took the decision to add the XCeed to the lineup because the three-door hatchback has been discontinued. What better way to fill a gap in the lineup than by adding the best-selling body style?<\/p>\n<p>Because the platform is shared with the Hyundai i30, Elantra, and Kia Forte, the XCeed will not be offered with all-wheel drive. Driving modes tailored to off-road, snow, and gravel will have to make do, along with a dual-clutch transmission on range-topping engine options.<\/p>\n<p>Ford doesn\u2019t offer AWD in the Focus Active, and neither plans Hyundai in the case of the Kona N. The subcompact crossover is getting the go-faster treatment from Albert Biermann, who confirmed the FWD layout for the performance-oriented model.<\/p>\n<p>Kia doesn\u2019t plan to go further than the 1.6 T-GDI in the Ceed lineup, including the XCeed. In other words, expect no more than 204 hp and 265 Nm of torque from 1,500 to 4,500 rpm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joining the station wagon and shooting brake, the XCeed has been spied cold-weather testing in Scandinavia, clad in black camouflage.
