First Driving Impressions – Kia Cee’d Sportswagon, UK Press Event, Zilina, Slovakia

Before we drove the all-new Cee’d Sportswagon, we had a tour of Kia’s European plant in Zilina. This plant opened in 2006 and looks as new and fresh today as it did then. This factory is very modern and not a spot of dirt could be found anywhere; it is literally spotless. Around 3,900 people work there and currently three shifts are in operation to keep up with demand.
