Ford Focus 2011 vs Kia Ceed 2013
| Gearbox: | Manual | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.6 Petrol | 1.6 Diesel | |
| Petrol engines (Ford Focus) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (Kia Ceed) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

| Camshaft drive: | Timing belt | Timing chain | |
| Timing belt usually needs to be replaced more often than the chain, but it is usually significantly cheaper. Timing belt motors are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain motors. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 105 HP | 128 HP | |
| Torque: | 150 NM | 260 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 12.3 seconds | 11.7 seconds | |
|
Kia Ceed is a more dynamic driving. Ford Focus engine produces 23 HP less power than Kia Ceed, whereas torque is 110 NM less than Kia Ceed. Due to the lower power, Ford Focus reaches 100 km/h speed 0.6 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 5.9 | 5.5 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 7.1 l/100km | 6.9 l/100km | |
|
The Kia Ceed is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. By specification Ford Focus consumes 0.4 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Kia Ceed, which means that if you drive 15,000 km in a year, the Ford Focus could require 60 litres more fuel. By comparing actual fuel consumption based on user reports, Ford Focus consumes 0.2 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Kia Ceed. | |||

Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 460'000 km | 320'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Ford Focus engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 8 years | 15 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Ford C-Max, Ford Fiesta, Ford B-Max | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Hyundai i30, Hyundai Accent, Kia Venga | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Kia Ceed might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The Kia Ceed engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
Dimensions | |||
| Length: | 4.36 m | 4.31 m | |
| Width: | 1.82 m | 1.78 m | |
| Height: | 1.46 m | 1.43 m | |

Ford Focus is larger. Ford Focus is 5 cm longer than the Kia Ceed, 4 cm wider, while the height of Ford Focus is 3 cm higher. | |||
| Trunk capacity: | no data | 380 litres | |
| Turning diameter: | 11 meters | 10.6 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Ford Focus is 0.4 metres more than that of the Kia Ceed, which means Ford Focus can be harder to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
| Gross weight (kg): | 1`825 | 1`940 | |
| Safety: | no data | ||
| Quality: | below average | below average | |
| Ford Focus has slightly fewer faults. Deffect rate in annual technical inspection is similar for both cars, it's slightly higher for Kia Ceed, so Ford Focus quality could be a bit better. | |||
