What is the Kia Xceed DCT gearbox like?
I’m thinking of buying a 2022 Kia Xceed 1.5 litre and would like the automatic. Unfortunately our family's experience with Skoda and Ford double clutch gearboxes wasn’t good. I’ve not seen any information regarding unreliability in Kia DCT but what are they like for slow speed control and manoeuvres, as well as normal driving speeds?

Unfortunately you won't be able to buy the automatic version of the 2022 Kia Xceed, as due to the chip shortage Kia doesn't currently offer it. It's manual-only. We'd driven the dual-clutch version abroad and it's fine, but not as smooth as a traditional torque converter automatic around town.

Very good looking 'crossover' based on the Kia Ceed. Nicely furnished inside. Well equipped. Sensible value for money.
