A new, high-spec trim is set to join the Kia Ceed range next year, the South Korean firm revealed at the Paris Motor Show.

GT-Line will be available on every variation of the Ceed, including hatchback and ‘Sportswagon’ estate form, and sits just underneath the range-topping GT trim.

Giving the GT-Line a distinctive look is a satin chrome and gloss black ‘tiger nose’ grille, along with tweaked front and rear bumpers. 17-inch alloy wheels are fitted as standard, with optional 18-inch alloys available.

Equipment for this grade includes a standard seven-inch infotainment display with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a JBL audio system, a heated windscreen, wireless smartphone charging — plus heated and ventilated seats up front. A larger, eight-inch infotainment display with navigation is available as an option, as are heated rear seats.

As for safety tech, the Ceed GT-Line benefits from high beam assist, driver attention warning, lane keep assist and a reversing camera. Customers can also opt for adaptive cruise control blind spot and rear cross-traffic collision warning, along with a smart parking system.

There’s also a range of engines on offer for the Ceed GT-Line, with 1.0-litre and 1.4-litre petrol units available, alongside 1.6-litre diesel options — each available with numerous power outputs.
