Welcome to my first drive and review of the NEW Kia XCeed 2027! In this video, I take an in-depth look at Kia’s updated crossover, showcasing its refreshed exterior and interior, improved technology, refined suspension, enhanced comfort and, of course, its driving experience on German roads.
The 2027 Kia XCeed receives one of its biggest updates yet, featuring a redesigned front and rear, Kia’s latest Opposites United design language, a completely refreshed cabin, dual 12.3-inch panoramic displays, improved connectivity and a more refined driving experience. Kia has also upgraded the rear suspension, reduced noise and vibrations (NVH), and recalibrated the driving modes to make the XCeed more comfortable and engaging than ever. KIA Xceed 2026.docx
In this review, I’m testing the 1.6 T-GDI 180 PS version, paired with a 7-speed Dual-Clutch Automatic (7DCT) transmission. I share my first impressions of its performance, handling, comfort, steering, sound insulation and overall driving experience.
