Ceed SW, standard colour,spec

I wouldn't think there would be much of a wait, most dealers would have the EX in stock available for immediate delivery. I'll be calling into my local dealer tomorrow, will find out if there is any delay on the Sportywagon.

Thanks, yea spoke briefly to dealer last week and most stock was sold,or is last years (pre face lift) so just wondering if picked my own colour in EX spec, latest model how long twud take

There aren't many options on those and many are dealer fit. If the only option was the colour chances are it would be in stock somewhere.

If you're going for the model as it without any extras, it should be quick enough lead time. just depends on if they have the colour you want.

Talked to the dealer this morning, there are no Ceed SW's in the country. With the 0% finance they are finding it hard to keep up with demand.
If you were to place an order today, you would have the keys in your hand in 3 or 4 weeks.

demand oustripping supply!

Must be a batch on its way, a factory order would usually take longer than that.

Fresh factory orders for Far East vehicles tend to take 4-9 months......

Hyundai/Kia/Honda/Toyota/Mazda order batches of cars, that they think will sell, to keep stock coming through. That's why the options list on these cars is generally just metallic paint or dealer fit options.

Dealer will have been on to Kia Ireland to see what's coming on the next boat, and can hopefully match that up with the OP's order.

Kia Ceed and Sportage are built in Europe (Slovenia), that's why it only takes 3 to 4 weeks from the order date.
