These instructions apply to the Kia Ceed Mk3 (CD) 2018-Present.

Full specifications for the Kia Ceed (CD, third generation) Sportswagon, laid out by variant. Two variants are covered so far — the 1.0 T-GDI (100 PS, engine code G3LE) and the 1.5 T-GDI (160 PS, G4LH). Figures come from the manufacturer’s documents (Certificate of Conformity, VIN/type plate and owner handbook) cross-checked with workshop data; confirm anything critical against your own car’s papers.
Each column is one specific vehicle — a single engine or motor and, where shown, body style. Dimensions and several weights are specific to that body and drivetrain; other body or powertrain versions differ, so match the column to your own vehicle.

Sources: Homologation (Certificate of Conformity) · Owner's manual · Workshop data. Where an owner’s manual or homologation figure exists it takes precedence; workshop data fills only what those omit. † A safety-critical figure (wheel-nut torque, spark-plug gap or A/C refrigerant) is shown only when an OEM manual or factory service manual confirms it — otherwise it is withheld; always use the official figures for your car.
