World premiere for striking new Kia SPORTSPACE concept
Created for long distance driving, the new Kia SPORTSPACE concept has been designed for fast and efficient travel, with maximum comfort and minimal stress.
Designed at Kias European design center in Frankfurt, Germany, under the direction of Gregory Guillaume, Chief Designer Europe, the SPORTSPACE features a striking, sporty wagon silhouette. The car is born out of a commitment to provide stylish and exciting transportation for four, without sacrificing the performance, sustainability and economy for which Kia is known.
The spacious and functional cabin is designed to be as light and airy as possible, with a full-length panoramic sunroof providing natural light throughout the interior. The cabin itself combines functionality with modern styling. Luxurious leather is with combined with contemporary technical materials such as carbon fibre and milled, anodized aluminum while the driver benefits from a configurable digital display.
Occupants sit on hand-woven single-piece gloss black leather seats, with generous space for all passengers, while the cargo area features steel rollers to more easily load the boot â these then retract into the boot floor when the engine starts, holding everything in place during the drive.
Recognisably a Kia due to its signature tiger-nose grille, finely judged proportions and simple, clean surfaces, the Kia SPORTSPACE has a bold, dynamic shape with real road presence. At the same time, it offers a high level of interior comfort and substantial practical load space.
Sporty new Kia ceed GT Line for Europe

The GT-inspired cabin features a higher quality, sportier ambience, with its own unique black, white and grey upholstery, GT Line logos throughout the cabin, and the same piano black and leather steering wheel and aluminum alloy pedals fitted to Kias high-performance GT models.
The ceed GT Line is available with a choice of two engines.

The gasoline engine is available with a six-speed manual transmission, while diesel buyers can choose from a six-speed manual or Kias all-new seven-speed DCT, which offers faster gear changes, lower fuel consumption and a smooth drive.
