Kia Ceed: real-world fuel consumption
Fuel meter readings from 36,139 Kia Ceed cars reported in 2024, split by engine.
Excluding plug-in hybrids, the average is 6.7 L/100 km on the road against 5.8 officially (15% above official).
Lowest real-world consumption: Diesel hybrid · 100 kW (136 hp) at 4.5 L/100 km.
Every engine: official vs real
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol · 118 kW (160 hp) | 18,081 | 5.9 | 6.9 | +16% |
| Petrol · 74 kW (101 hp) | 3,910 | 5.5 | 6.4 | +15% |
| Petrol · 88 kW (120 hp) | 3,343 | 5.6 | 6.5 | +16% |
| Petrol · 117 kW (159 hp) | 1,956 | 5.9 | 6.7 | +13% |
| Petrol · 73 kW (99 hp) | 1,308 | 5.5 | 6.4 | +16% |
| Petrol · 150 kW (204 hp) | 765 | 6.8 | 8.0 | +18% |
| Petrol · 103 kW (140 hp) | 351 | 5.9 | 6.8 | +15% |
| Diesel hybrid · 100 kW (136 hp) | 246 | 4.6 | 4.5 | −3% |
Engines with fewer than 100 cars in the data are not shown. Hybrid includes mild hybrids (48 V) as registered by the manufacturer.
Plug-in hybrid
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Electric share | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plug-in hybrid · 77 kW (105 hp) | 6,069 | 1.3 | 4.0 | 22% | +204% |
The official WLTP figure for plug-in hybrids assumes a share of electric driving based on range. When cars are charged less often than assumed, real consumption is far higher.
By reporting year
| cars | Real world | |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 496 | 6.6 |
| 2022 | 6,684 | 6.7 |
| 2023 | 18,907 | 6.6 |
| 2024 | 30,070 | 6.7 |
The same cars are reported again each year with their lifetime totals, so years are not added together.
