2023 Kia XCeed PRODUCTION Starts in Slovakia

The first examples of the new Kia XCeed compact crossover have rolled off the company’s production line in Žilina, Slovakia, kicking off the use of more efficient and sustainable production techniques in the factory.

The upgraded production line features 40 new advanced robots in the paint and assembly halls, part of a long-term plan to increase automation, efficiency, and compliance with the latest environmental standards. Regarding sustainability, Kia’s Slovakian facility uses 100 per cent renewable energy for its operations, while heat and water from the paint shop are recycled across the plant to cut waste.

All Kia models at Žilina are manufactured on the same production line, which further aids efficiency and helps it better respond to changing patterns of demand across the different model ranges. Along with the new XCeed, Žilina also manufactures other members of the Ceed model family along with the fifth-generation Sportage. The facility also assembles the ‘Smartstream’ 1.5-litre ‘Kappa’ gasoline and mild-hybrid powertrains, along with the 1.6-litre ‘Gamma’ T-GDi engine.

The new Kia XCeed available to order from September 2022
