Released in 2019, the Kia XCeed was designed as a crossover variant of the regular C-segment Ceed. The popular hatchback has sparked several variations, including the Pro Ceed (tourer), so the higher ground clearance model with more boot space didn't come as a surprise. While the model is still in its first generation, Kia released a facelift in 2022 that ensured that the XCeed had a modern look and updated tech.
