At launch, the Xceed will be offered with a choice of three turbocharged petrol engines including a 1.0-litre 88kW/172Nm three-cylinder unit, a 1.4-litre 103kW/242Nm four-cylinder and a 1.6-litre four-cylinder that’s good for 150kW/265Nm.

 

Diesel buyers can opt for a 1.6-litre turbocharged unit tuned to deliver either 85kW or 100kW.

 

Except for the entry-level 1.0-litre unit, all engines can be paired with a choice of six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions. The base model is exclusively matched with a stick shifter.
