Estate version
The Ceed SW (Sportswagon) is the estate version with 625 litres of boot space – an increase of 230 litres compared to the hatchback. With the rear seat folded down it holds up to 1 694 litres, making it one of the most practical cars in its class.
The SW version shares all technical solutions with the hatchback but offers a considerably longer load area with a flat load floor and practical lashing rings. Roof rails are standard, and with a roof box you can transport longer items such as skis or bicycles without any problem.
The Ceed SW is the natural choice for the Swedish family that needs more load capacity without stepping up to an SUV. And with the same powertrains and trim levels as the hatchback, you sacrifice nothing in comfort or technology.
Plug-in Hybrid
The Ceed PHEV combines a 1.6-litre petrol engine with a 44.5 kW electric motor and an 8.9 kWh lithium-ion battery. The system output is 141 hk with an electric range of approximately 60 km – enough for daily commuting in most Swedish cities.
Charging is via a Type 2 connector at up to 3.3 kW, giving a full charge in approximately 3 hours. Boot space reduces to 353 litres (compared with 395 L in the petrol version) due to the battery placement, but it is still more than sufficient for everyday use.
The PHEV version offers lower vehicle tax and benefit-in-kind value, making it a financially smart choice as a company car.
