The Kia Ceed entered a new generation in 2018 after more than one million models had been sold. Because of this, the company knew that it didn't need to make any major changes. It retained its fresh, sporty design with headlights similar to the Stinger. Inside the cabin, the Ceed received some upmarket touches that added sophistication to the mix without losing any of the comfort.

Kia also updated the safety technology, ensuring that it continued to remain current. With the multilink rear suspension, drivers also appreciated the stability and handling it offered.

Not long after its initial launch, Kia was ready to redesign the Ceed with a new generation. Sharing a mechanical platform with the Hyundai i30, the Ceed was both affordable and attractive. It had a "tiger-nose" front-end design with a pinched grille on both sides, topped with swept-back headlights. While the dimensions remained the same as the previous generation, it was visually more appealing because of the significant styling changes.

A refresh arrived in 2015 with a new bumper and LED taillights. Kia also released some new design 16- and 17-inch alloy wheels.

Kia decided to build a hatchback that was specifically designed for the European market, and the Ceed was a spacious and practical model. The initial design was sporty and compact, with a minimalistic design. This didn't hold the model back and proved to be popular UK car buyers.

In 2009, Kia saw the success that the Ceed was having and decided to release an update. The car received a new grille and headlights to refresh the front styling. The taillights were also redesigned to match the front. About an inch was added to the length of the Ceed because of the new bumpers, and several updated wheel designs were launched.
