The upcoming second facelift of the Kia XCeed is still under wraps, but spy shots suggest a more dramatic design evolution is on the way. The most notable change? The addition of Star Map headlights — a bold, modern lighting signature that debuted on the new Kia Sportage and EV series.
The KIA XCeed, initially rumored to be discontinued, is confirmed to undergo a substantial refresh in 2026, contrary to earlier speculations.
This compact crossover, which has been a strong seller for KIA in Europe, will introduce a second facelift with redesigned front-end elements, including new headlights, grille, and bumper.
The update will also see the return of a plug-in hybrid variant, with an improved PHEV powertrain offering increased electric range.
The vehicle has been spotted during testing in Europe, where it is produced, and is expected to launch in the summer of 2026, following the recent 2022 update.
