Kia Ceed SW Boot Size: 625 Litres — The Practical Estate Most Renters Overlook
The Kia Ceed SW (CD, 2018–present) packs 625 litres of boot space with a 107 cm wide floor and 73 cm aperture height. It carries more than most compact SUVs at a lower rental price point. Full guide inside.
The Kia Ceed SW (CD generation, 2018–present) is one of the most practical estate cars you can rent in Europe, and one of the most underrated. Its 625L boot significantly outperforms compact SUVs like the Nissan Qashqai (436L), VW T-Roc (445L), and Kia Sportage (546L 5-seat), with a lower load sill that makes loading easier. If you're comparing "estate vs. SUV" for a family trip, the Ceed SW makes a strong case.
Kia Ceed SW Boot Dimensions (CD, 2018–present)
| Measurement | Value |
|---|---|
| Boot volume | 625 litres |
| Floor width | 107 cm |
| Load depth | 102 cm |
| Internal height | 75 cm |
| Aperture width | 105 cm |
| Aperture height | 73 cm |
| Load sill height | ~62 cm |
The 75 cm internal height is one of the best in this segment — large check-in bags (76 cm) just barely touch the ceiling when standing upright, which is functionally fine. The 73 cm aperture height allows large bags in at a slight tilt. The 107 cm floor width means two large bags fit side by side with a few centimetres to spare. At 102 cm depth, three medium bags stack front-to-back comfortably.

Ceed SW vs. Compact SUVs — The Case for the Estate
Renters often default to compact SUVs for family trips because they look bigger. The Ceed SW (625L) carries almost 200L more than a Qashqai (436L) and 180L more than a VW T-Roc (445L). Its lower sill height (62 cm vs. 70+ cm for most SUVs) means less lifting. The only thing the SUV wins on is ride height and all-terrain perception — neither of which matters on sealed European roads. For airport-to- hotel luggage hauling, the Ceed SW is the better tool.
