Kia XCeed previewed ahead of full reveal

AutoExec Summary
Kia’s new XCeed crossover is set to launch on June 26, filling the gap between the smaller Stonic and larger Sportage SUV. The Australian market, however, will be getting the Steltos SUV instead. The XCeed features a jacked-up ride height and tough plastic body cladding, with a more coupe-like styling and rakish rear window line. It shares a platform with the Hyundai i30 and Elantra, and is likely to offer the same turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder and base 2.0-litre engines. The car’s Australian availability is still unconfirmed, with the Steltos set to arrive before year’s end.
