Of course, the main problem of the hatchback in terms of capacity is the length of the cargo compartment.
With folded backs of the back row, a length meter that fits in a straight line (along the axis of movement of the car) should not exceed 160 cm. This is subject to the seats shifted forward.
The backs of the second row add up to a proportion of 40:60. The problem is that the smaller section is located on the left, behind the driver. And his seat cannot be moved as far forward as possible to increase the loading length - because then even a driver of short stature will not fit at the wheel.
There are two options: either to fold a large section of the back of the second row - then only one seat will be left behind. Or lay long objects like a garden tool, diagonally, which will also add discomfort to passengers.
Another inconvenience is the high threshold of the trunk. This applies to both the loading height (it is more than 70 cm) and the height of the threshold relative to the floor. It’s not very convenient to pack heavy things in such a trunk. In addition, the backs of the second row of seats when folded form a noticeable step - there is no even floor at all.

However, by the standards of the class, the boot capacity of the Kia Ceed is quite good. In normal condition, it is able to fit 320 liters. And this is not factory data, but real, obtained during our measurements with calibrated cubes. In addition, the height of the trunk under the curtain is more than half a meter - an excellent indicator. Because medium-sized suitcases fit easily even in an upright position. For a hatch golf class is very worthy.

What about oversized cargo? This is interesting, considering not the highest trunk opening (less than 80 cm). And what could be oversized than a bicycle? The 26-inch men's mountain bike fit without a problem. There was no need to remove the wheels or fold the steering wheel. But the bike with 29-inch wheels in the opening even fit, but the length of the cabin was not enough for him: I had to remove the front wheel.

By the way, if the capacity is still not enough, then all the belongings (or part of it) can always be sent to the roof. To do this, you need to purchase crossbars: those that are simpler - with a square profile (12, 500 rubles). Crossbars with a more aerodynamic profile are a couple of thousand more expensive.
And the boxes of various capacities and sizes on the market are a dime a dozen. Among the original accessories, in addition to the crossbars on the roof, there are also pads on the rear bumper (about 7000 rubles). Or, as an alternative, a protective film that is half the price. Both will save the paintwork from damage during loading.
