Kia Ceed camper
The Kia Ceed is a typical hatchback that still offers enough sleeping area when the seats are folded away properly. You can sleep in it, but there won’t be much storage or headroom, therefore a roofbox might come in handy.
This car’s boot is 185 cm long ⤢, 69 cm tall ↕, and 104 cm wide ↔.

These dimensions are from a Kia Ceed 2012.
- Maximum boot length, with the front seats pushed all the way forward: 190cm
- there are multiple smaller storage compartments in the double boot floor
- the middle seat cushions can be lifted and folded forward so that the backrests fold down flat. This is better for sleeping, but the seat cushions take away space you could have used for storage
- EURO NCAP safety rating (2021) 5/5
- ADAC Rating (lower = better) 2.4/5

Kia Ceed boot & exterior dimensions
Can you sleep in Kia Ceed?
Yes, you can, here’s an example:
I am 180cm and when the front seat backrests are leaned forward (I didn’t slide the seats forward), it’s just about enough for me to stretch. If you slide the front seats forward, you’ll get additional 5-10cm.
