Performance and Engine Options
Under the hood, the Kia XCeed houses different petrol engine options: a 100 HP three-cylinder and a more powerful 140 HP four-cylinder engine. Both engines are mated to either a manual or dual-clutch automatic transmission, assuring smooth driving dynamics. The XCeed achieves a respectable acceleration of 0-100 km/h in as quick as 10.2 seconds and a top speed of 195 km/h. Fuel consumption hovers around 6.3 to 6.5 L/100km, with CO2 emissions ranging from 143 to 148 g/km.
In comparison, the SEAT León offers a broader range of engine choices that include petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid, and MHEV technologies. With power outputs varying from 110 HP to a staggering 272 HP, the León can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in as little as 7.7 seconds, showcasing its sporty pedigree. Notably, the León’s lower consumption figures, reaching up to 4.5 L/100km in diesel variants and 0.4 L for the plug-in hybrid, exemplify SEAT’s commitment to efficiency.
