Kia Ceed battery size (UK)
It depends on the engine and on whether the car has stop-start. For the Ceed 2018-2025 model (Jun 2018 to Dec 2025), the standard battery is most often a 027 (096 on some engines); cars with stop-start need an EFB or AGM battery, most often a 096 AGM. Every engine is in the tables below.
Key takeaways
- Ceed 2018-2025 model: standard 027; with stop-start 096 AGM.
- UK size codes (063, 096, 027...) are printed on the battery label - match yours, including AGM or EFB.
- A car with stop-start needs an EFB or AGM battery; a car without it can take either type.

Brand in brackets = which battery maker lists that size for that engine. "EFB / AGM" covers the batteries a stop-start car needs; for cars without stop-start the makers list them as an upgrade.
