KIA has released sketches of its new XCeed compact crossover ahead of its reveal next week.

The updated model will receive a sharp new exterior, an enhanced interior, an all-new sporty GT-line trim level, and a range of powertrains including electrified option.

The Korean car maker says the new model will feature mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid power systems in the line up as well as its latest safety, connectivity and infotainment technology.

Since the XCeed was launched in 2019 it has become a popular model in the Kia range and is priced from £21,835.

It will be revealed on July 18 with European sales due to start later in the year.
