First drive review: Kia Cee'd SW

Kia expects to sell 15,000 C'eeds in the UK next year and of those 50 per cent could be the new Sportswagon.

What is it?

Get over the confusing name and it is basically the estate version of the all-new Cee'd. Based on the highly-competent Hyundai i30, the Sportswagon is designed to offer a serious alternative to C-segment leaders such as the Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf and Vauxhall Astra, with its distinctive looks, improved build quality and the security of the seven-year warranty.
