Kia announced the second facelift of the XCeed. The update is substantially more extensive than the 2022 refresh. Production stays in Slovakia; market launch planned before the end of 2026.
Exterior: New vertical light clusters front and rear, restyled bumpers, grille, and wheels — brings the XCeed in line with the current Kia design language
Interior: New dashboard with a combined 12.3” + 12.3” dual-screen layout replacing the previous separate displays, revised climate controls
Pre-facelift dimensions: 4,395 mm long, 1,826 mm wide, 2,650 mm wheelbase — for reference as updated figures haven’t been released.
The pre-facelift XCeed offered a 1.0 T-GDI (115 hp with 48V mild hybrid), a 1.6 T-GDI (150 or 180 hp) with a 7-speed DCT — all front-wheel drive. Updated powertrain options and pricing haven’t been announced. The Volkswagen T-Roc, the closest direct competitor in Europe, starts from €28,490 with a 1.0 TSI 110 hp; current XCeed pricing before the facelift starts from €26,390.
