IT’S hard to believethisiso nlythe third-generationCeed estate,

because ithas maturedintoarealcontender in itsclass.While not

exactly daringini ts de sign, theSportswagonis ra ther swoopy, while

a115mm increaseinl engthhas allo wedthe bootto grow to600 litres.

Interior quality almost matc hesthe class lead ersfor soft-touch

material sand sturdiness.The ‘floating’ infotainmentscreen looks

good andcomeswith Android Autoand Apple CarPlay as standard.

In fact, there’s lots of desirablekit such as satnav with TomTom

maps and traffic information,aJBL stere oand heatedwindscreen.

Twopetrols and adiesel form the enginerange. Our pickfor most

driversist he 1.0T-GDI with 118bhp,whichissmoothforathree-

cylinder engine andhas plenty of powerinu rban driving. Itcanreturn

47mpgand is the most affor dableoptionforcompany-cardrivers.

The 1.4-litreT-GDI petrol is probablyworthwhile if youplanon

fillingthe Ceed Sportswagonwith people and luggage.
