CarGurus UK's video: Kia XCeed vs Ford Focus Active

Battle of the faux-by-fours... The 2022 Kia XCeed takes on the latest Ford Focus Active – is there a clear winner? Let CarGurus help you find your next car: https://www.cargurus.co.uk/Cars/articles/buying_guides It's not news to anyone that SUVs are hugely popular right now, but you know they're reeeeally popular when traditional family hatchbacks start pretending to be SUVs. Take the Ford Focus Active, for instance. This is, in essence, a regular Focus hatchback that's been made to look a little more like an off-roader by adding chunkier bumpers, plastic wheelarch protectors and a raised ride height. The Kia XCeed, meanwhile, takes a slightly different approach. Underneath, it uses most of the same mechanicals as the Ceed hatchback, but from a bodywork perspective, it shares almost nothing with its stablemate: the front doors, and that's it. The question is, which approach results in the better car? In this CarGurus UK video review, Ivan Aistrop puts the two cars head-to-head, and compares them in every area, including quality, technology, practicality, and of course, what they're like to drive.
