There are car enthusiasts, especially beginners who are unknown, what is clearance, what to do with it. Frequently confused with another in a similar word. But this is as they say "from another opera." In general, why do you need? We will try to help in this matter. We will understand in detail what clearance at Kia LED?
So what is clearance and how "correctly" to measure it? The clearance of the car, including Kia LEDs, is the distance from the ground to the lower protruding detail of its central part. It is also called ground clearance. This lumen does not allow the car to "Shack Puz" along the road surface. There is one trick. Determine the extreme point is difficult. There are many protruding parts on the bottom of the car, as a result of which it is difficult to determine this distance. These are elements such as muffler, transmission, etc. In addition, the main weight of the car falls on the front vehicle. For this established by the power unit. Considering all this, Kia LED clearance is measured in front of the front.
Depending on the road lumen, cars can be divided into several categories
- Category passenger carswhere the lumen is from 13 to 17 cm
- Crossovers and parcktails - the clearance here varies in the values \u200b\u200bof 17 - 21 cm
- SUVs whose clearance is from 21 to 42 cm
- There is a ground clearance and more. But it will be more exclusion from the rules than the rule. We are talking about frame jeeps, "shoes in non-standard shoes" (rubber).
Kia LED Road Light Signing Feature With Engine Protection
Many manufacturers now establish a crankcase protection to prevent damage. It can be made of plastic or metal. So this is exactly such a defense takes several precious millimeters from Kia LED clearance.
Therefore, when buying a car, it is necessary to find out what the distance the manufacturers stated, and what an expensive remariment is real. Sometimes the installed protection reduces the lumen by 3-4 centimeters! It is not necessary to figure out such "trifles" when purchased. You must understand how safe the distance from the acquired car is for travel. With this question, it seems to be committed. Now let's talk about the bottom sock of the bumper.
"Nights" Kia LED
Moving through obstacles, overcoming border, snow-covered areas of the road, we sometimes hear unpleasant crosses. This plastic protrusion (bumper) "met with an obstacle." From contact, he can simply split. Similar to the low front of the machine. Places of most common "traps" - washing, gas stations. Although in urban conditions it can be anything! Low landing of the car is inherent in sports models of cars and "zealunnted" machines.
Perfect Clearance for Car
European drivers are accustomed to comfortable driving. This is great smooth expensive. Road covering allows you to move on machines with minimal clearance at 13 cm. The danger to get the driver to the "unpleasant story" is meager. What can not be said about most road coat Russia and the CIS Still !!! In the native expanses, it is often possible to meet pit, a depth of more than 15 cm. So, for movement to our highways, a car with increased clearance is needed. Recommended for our roads minimal clearance 16 cm. Manufacturers specifically adapt their cars under our roads different ways. By increasing not only the power of the car, but also the suspension itself. They try to "raise" the car. Our craftsmen, in turn, also do not dorm. Find solutions (sometimes original) in order to increase the lumen of the car. Including the Road clearance of Kia LED.
Clearance car and Kia Ceed
Actual size road Suit Kia LED is only 15 cm. This is a statement of "officials". Installed engine crankcase protection reduces it. What to do? Creeping like snail, obstacles? Or is there another, more acceptable solution to this issue? Is it possible to increase the clearance of Kia LED? The answer is unambiguous - you can.
This can be done in two ways:
install larger diameter discs (within the manufacturer)
increase ground clearance due to additional spacer
These methods can be used both separately and in the complex.
However, by increasing the road clearance Kia Ceed due to changes in the size of the discs, let's think for a minute that we purchase in this case, and what we lose. It is clear that an increase in the lumen of the car, in terms of passability, the moment is positive. But at the same time, we will face difficulties when passing steep turns at high speed. Also possible changes in car manageability when driving at high speed. What swinging the second option to increase the road lumen by car Kia LED, then we will tell about it in more detail in another article. Consider how you can conduct such works on your own. What is the procedure for performing such works.
KIA CEED wagon, spacious family car, confidently feeling in urban streets and country tracks - attractive offer from the popular South Korean manufacturer. Dynamic car equipped with respect to powerful engineEasily maneuver on the roads of the megapolis, and on the track allows you to significantly save fuel. Road clearance of Wagon Kia LED is 150 mm, which is a good indicator for the city car.
Typical representative
In Russia, universals are not yet in requanceing such demand, as in European countries, where a significant part of the population prefers to combine the comfort of a sedan with a crossover carrying capacity. Nevertheless, Kia LED may well count on massive interest from buyers - this is a convenient car whose characteristics are not inferior to similar models from other well-known manufacturers.
Basic distinctive trait Wagon - capacity and high load capacity. Kia Ceed has a luggage space of 528 liters, which can be easily enlarged by folding the seat of the reverse row. According to this characteristic, as a ground clearance, this model is not inferior to the "colleague" - universal Hyundai. I30 SW and exceeds Hyundai i40 WAGON, whose clearance is only 140 mm.
Road clearance of 150 mm, which is characterized by Kia LEDs - is it a lot or a little?
Russian expensive
condition russian roadsDespite the serious financing of road programs, it remains quite deplorable. With the exception of federal highways Outside the city, it is difficult to find high-root highways. Yes, and the urban environment is far from uniform - in addition to smooth central streets, there are entry into the courtyards and the alleys, in which the coating repair was not made for decades. In winter conditions, the situation becomes even more critical. That is why when choosing a car, it is important to pay attention to such a parameter as a ground clearance.
To determine whether KIA CEED is suitable for local conditions, it is necessary to figure out what is meant by the term "clearance".
What is "clearance?"
The standard wording is quite simple: under the clearance of the wagon Kia LED implies the distance between the surface on which the car stands and the lowest point of this car.
Where is the lowest point Kia Ceed? If you look at the car from below, you can see many protruding parts, each of which has the chances of becoming a desired point. Considering that usually Kia LED moves forward, with an obstacle that I got the first thing to know the bumper.
Attention! By purchasing Kia Ceed, measure the distance from the ground to the bottom of the bumper, to really represent what obstacles will be obviously impassable for this car.
According to official information, KIA CEED wagon has a road clearance of 150 mm. Classification of car indicators different types as follows:
- hatchback, sedan, wagon - clearance from 140 to 200 mm;
- crossover - clearance from 180 to 250 mm;
- sUV - clearance from 200 to 350 mm.
As we see, Kia LED has standard indicators for the wagon, close to the minimum.
The distance between the surface of the Earth and the lower point of the bumper is not always the minimum road clearance installed by the manufacturer. On the Bumper Kia LEDs can be installed special plastic protection, the function of which is a loud cracks to notify about the occasion to the barrier. The replacement of the Kia LED plastic skirt is much easier and cheaper than the repair of the bumper, however, many motorists remove the Kia Ceed protective skirt in order to increase car's permeability.
Considering further car Kia. Ceed station wagon, it can be noted that the gap between the ground surface and the lower point of the front suspension is smaller earlier. However, the area of \u200b\u200bpossible contact with the suspension of Kia LED with an obstacle is so small that this factor is not taken into account.
Even less, the distance between the Earth and the Kia Ceed Ceed Pallet is a wagon, and this parameter is important to know not to risk on a complex road. Standard distances between the coating and the pallet of the boat in cars of different types are:
- sedan, hatchback, wagon - from 120 to 170 mm;
- crossover - from 170 to 210 mm;
- sUV - from 200 mm
Attention! The KIA CEED manufacturer wagon on the pallet of the crankcase sets plastic protection. To reduce the risk of the punctured of the crankcase in Russian road conditions, it is desirable to replace plastic protection for a metal.
Drivers car Kia. LED when driving through an obstacle is recommended to be attentive and neat, since there is a risk to hook it with its lower part of the elements of the exhaust system.
How to increase ground clearance?
Kia Ceed Road clearance can be enlarged by setting the wheels with a radius of the disk more regular. However, in such a situation, the speed sensor may fail, which will affect the speedometer indicators.
Ceed can also replace shock absorbers and springs in the suspension. But this will lead to the displacement of the center of gravity and the car on the road will become less stable, problems with maneuvering will arise.
Thus, without apparent need, you should not try to change the road clearance of this universal.

When choosing any car for operation not only in the conditions of perfect road surface and good weather conditions, the question of geometric passivity is always relevant for those who care about the state of the machine and want to have no worse opportunities when driving complex areas of the road at least in their class. Clearance kia LED is interested in car enthusiasts often, especially in comparison with other models of this and other manufacturers. Recall that the car in question belongs to the class "C" is a small middle class of passenger cars with a length of the body up to 4400 mm. In the line of this model KIA, there is a body type:
- Hatchback 5D;
- Coupe Pro'ceed 3D
- Universal SW.
Distance from lower points to road surface
Since Ceed is positioned as an urban car with front-wheel drive, it is clearly not worth waiting for an enlarged road lumen. However, Korean sedans and hatchbacks, designed for a wide audience of buyers, are traditionally inferior in this parameter to European and Japanese competitors. For Kia LED hatchbacks and Pro'Ceed clearance is 150 mm. This indicator corresponds to the figure for Ford Focus, Hyundai Elantra.10 mm lower than that of Kia Rio and Hyundai Solaris, 5 mm lower than that of Mazda 3 and Skoda Octavia.
IN model row Kia has a GT-Line line. These cars are distinguished by turbo-motors of high power and refinement in the suspension and brake system. For Ceed and Pro'Ceed GT, the road lumen digit is 140 mm, which is 10 mm less than normal versions.
Clearance machine in the body wagon
In the model series CEED there is a wagon SW. This model is less common in the salons and costs more than other modifications. Consumers with such a type of body usually make higher requirements for the capacity and carrying capacity, which requires the improvement of the suspension, an increased body length, which affects the geometric patency. The wagon is longer than the hatchback 4505 mm against 4310. However, the wheelbase is not changed and is 2650. The increase in length occurs exclusively at the expense of the trunk, in the rest of the car completely identical. Clearance Kia LED wagon, as well as in modifications with other types of body 150 mm. For SW at the moment there is no GT equipment, so there is no such machines with reduced road lumen.

Increase the road clearance of Kia LED
Buying a car for everyday use, car enthusiasts often think about improving its capabilities. Of course, the LED is a city car, and riding on country roads is not his horse. When driving out of iced plots in winter time The year, the detour of obstacles by the side of the road, even when moving some layer policemen there is a risk to hook something bottom, bumper or thresholds. The consequences can be very unpleasant in the form of the need to replace plastic details Body or body work. Increase the distance from the lower point of the machine to the Earth is hardly unlikely to succeed, but even 1 centimeter can be positively reflected in the passability. The simplest option Enlargement of clearance, although not the cheapest, put the wheels of the increased diameter. On Sides different modifications Usually used four wheel dimensions:
- 195/65 R15
- 205/55 R16.
- 225/45 R17
- 225/40 R18.
15 "\u003d 38.1 cm \u003d 381 mm;
381/2 + 195 * 0.65 \u003d 317 mm.
16 "\u003d 40.64 cm \u003d 406.4 mm;
406.4 / 2 + 205 * 0.55 \u003d 316 mm.
17 "\u003d 43.18 cm \u003d 431.8 mm;
431.8 / 2 + 225 * 0.45 \u003d 317 mm.
18 "\u003d 45.72 cm \u003d 457.2 mm;
457.2 / 2 + 225 * 0.4 \u003d 318 mm.
These figures approximately show the possibility of increasing the road lumen when using a larger diameter of the wheel, the real clearance will depend on rubber, tread, its wear and so on.
The second way is to use special spacer in the suspension. In front, such spacers are installed under, behind the spring. Completed usually from metal or other solid material. Spaces for sale are a lot, especially in online stores. This is connected with a fairly simple manufacturing technology and great efficiency. With their help, you can get an increase in the distance from the ground from about 1 to 3 cm. The cost begins from a thousand rubles per piece. The elongated fasteners bolts are rarely included in the kit so they need to be purchased separately. The cost of work is also several thousand rubles. After installing on the car, the gathering should be done, since it will definitely be shot down. Thus, to equip the LED kit will cost about 7-10 thousand.
Do not forget that the installation of spacers for the car is a pretty serious intervention in its suspension. IN modern cars The location of parts and nodes is accurately calculated to ensure a given level of reliability, durability, manageability and safety. The use of non-recommended spare parts may adversely affect the above and other characteristics.
Almost no one is in doubt that Kia LED, produced by the Korean company specifically for the European consumer - a wonderful car. A great appearance, Increased comfort, powerful and, there is everything here to enjoy the European and domestic car enthusiast. But, given the quality of our roads, the potential domestic buyer is confused by low road clearance of Kia LEDwhich is 150 mm, and in fact, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe lower plane of the Langeron - 140 mm.
That is why borders, burghers, affecting the imagination of Europeans homemade "Lying Police", problems with the full load of the car can represent a serious problem for its owner, and this is not to mention the departure to nature. Although, of course, the manufacturer itself, Kia LED is positioned as a city car, whose element is asphalt.
But what gives such a low landing of the car, and what can his owner lose, if it tries to "raise" him with the help of craftsmen, the lack of which our people never experienced? This is, above all, excellent handling and resistance on the road, one of the best in its class. Car dynamics, balance, comfort (at the expense of low noise) and security (nevertheless, was calculated by the engineers of the Korean company). At the same time, the road clearance can decrease when loading, springs drawdown and even abrasion of wheel tread.
How can you fight this phenomenon so as not to break the suspension settings and at the same time at least a little zoom road clearance of Kia LED? The simplest solution is to replace the tires to a higher profile, then you will definitely increase the clearance, and strict pressure tracking in them will help hold it at one level. It is advisable to keep a constant pressure of 2.2 atmospheres, although this value may vary from the preferences of the owner and the type of tires. This can add clearance about 18 mm, without changing the suspension settings, which means that it does not degrade its characteristics. On many auto owners balancing the suspension by installing polyurethane pillows for each spring. They increase the lumen on average by 5 mm, due to stabilization and decrease in the swing, for example, "Klek" in braking, so help to maintain the integrity of the bottom. Why not use this technology at Kia LED, especially since there are such pillows on sale? Installation of a special strut must make a suspension more balanced. And, of course, it is better not to overload the car, artificially reducing the ergonomics of his suspension.
These are several simple steps Surely bring the characteristics of Kia LED to the rest of the car brands, getting pleasure from driving, without thinking about the problems associated with low road lumen.
New Kia LED 2016 model year Already arrived in Russia. Pretty popular hatchback and his universal version changed not dramatically. What you can see in the photos of Kia Ceed 2016. But some things have become different. It concerns both exterior, interior and technical part, as we talk about today and talk.
The main plant, where they collect Kia LED is in Slovakia, which is not surprising, because caroid is created for Europe. In Russia, in some periods of time, Ceed was collected at the Kaliningrad plant "Avtotor". The first delivery of the hatchback of the new model year will be organized from the Slovak Plant, then all in the same Kaliningrad will be put on the large-sized assembly.
2016 Kia LED Appendix They did not seriously upgrade. Ordinary facelifting, if desired, find 10 differences is unlikely to succeed. The bumper is immediately thrown into the eye, the modified form of fog, the appearance of additional elements in the headlight block. Basically supplemented the car not by external attributes, but electronic stuffing, additional systems and assistants. Next, the photos of the exterior of the new Korean-European hatchback, strenuously looking for differences.

Salon new Kia. Ceed Extremely spacious. Thanks to the wheelbase of 2650 mm and the ergonomic placement of all elements of the interior, the car inside seems much greater than the outside. High quality materials and perfect fit are complemented by a convenient and functional location of all controls. The multifunctional steering wheel is already adjustable in the height of inclination and departure. The large touchscreen monitor with the rear view camera and the navigation system perfectly helps to navigate the parking lot. Already in the initial version, a good audio system with 6 speakers is available. The interior photos of the new Side look below.

IN technical Plan Today, buyers offer several completely different power of power units. But the general principles of the device of all kia engines LEDs are similar. These are row gasoline 4-cylinder 16-valve motors with an aluminum cylinder block and a chain drive in the timing.
Ceed Basic Motor 2016 1.4 liter capacity of 100 hp It is proposed only with 6-speed mechanics. If the accelerated speaker is not very - 12.7 seconds to 100 km / h. The fuel consumption is very small, on average just over 6 liters of 95th gasoline per hundred.
Following petrol aggregate 1.6 liters has the same distributed fuel injection MPI and the CVVT gas distribution phase shift system. In addition to the 6-speed mechanics, a 6-range hydromechanical automaton is relying to this motor. Power 129 hp (Sometimes 130 horses indicate) helps to accelerate the hatchback until hundreds already in 10.5 seconds (with automatic transmission 6.5 sec.).
Top new engine LED, as the manufacturer says about him, just the modification of the motor 1.6 (129 hp). The difference in the fuel injection device. Instead of MPI (distributed injection), GDI direct injection is used, which raised power KIA Ceed 2016 to 135 horses. With this motor combines only a 6-speed robotic box.
Engine GT. is another modification of 1.6 liter motor Kia.. Turbine added there, as a result, the power managed to bring to 204 horse powerAnd the torque increased to 265 nm. This allows you to significantly improve the dynamics. So up to one hundred Ceed GT accelerates for 7.6 seconds, and maximum speed About 230 km / h.
Side Suspension Fully independent type MacPherson with stabilizer transverse stability in front and lever-spring with a transverse stability stabilizer from behind. Brakes disk, like in front and rear. The "charged" GT discs are ventilated not only in front, but also from behind.
Steering Rush with electric power. In expensive equipment there is a function of selecting different modes of the amplifier. Next mass-overall ceed characteristics 2016.

Prices and equipment KIA CEED 2016 model year
Price basic configuration Classic Kia. LED is 739 900 rubles. This hatch does not even have an air conditioner, but as power aggregate Motor 1.4 liter with a capacity of 100 hp and 6-speed mechanics. But even the initial setting is not called naked, because there are front and side airbags, the steering wheel has a certain number of buttons for various functions, there is an audio system, adjusting the steering column on departure and height, front electric windows.
The LED version with Classic AC air-conditioned is already 784,900 rubles. With automatic transmission Kia. Ceed will cost a minimum of 879,900 rubles. Together with a 6-range automaton there is a more powerful 1.6 liter motor with a capacity of 129 hp
More than a million rubles, or rather from 1,029,900 rubles, the KIA LED will cost with a new GDI engine 1.6 liters with a capacity of 135 horses and 6-speed robotic box. Such a combination is available only in expensive Prestige and Premium equipment. But this is not the price limit for Kia LED, because there is still a version of GT with a turbo engine 1.6 T-GDI with a capacity of 204 hp In combination with a 6-speed mechanic, I will have to pay 1 219,900 rubles.
It is worth noting that the cost of the station wagon differs from the usual hatchback in the basic version of 75 thousand rubles. At the same time, the manufacturer continues to sell production cars in 2015 and even the versions collected in 2014. Discounts on such machines reach more than 100 thousand rubles. In general, you can now buy Kia Ceed on very good conditions.
