Kia Cerato
The Kia Cerato has been a mainstay of the Korean car maker’s range since it first splashed onto the scene back in 2003.
Back then, the Cerato was a cheap and cheerful runabout, but today the small car is a sportier and more luxurious offering with consistent sales against key competitors like the best-selling Toyota Corolla and Mazda 3.

About the Kia Cerato
The Kia Cerato has been a mainstay of the Korean car maker’s range since it first splashed onto the scene back in 2003.
Back then, the Cerato was a cheap and cheerful runabout, sharing its underpinnings with the Elantra and using Kia’s prolific line of ‘Beta II’ four-cylinder engines.
Now in its fourth generation, available in both hatchback and sedan bodies, the Kia Cerato is an active player within the small passenger car market, currently one of the most popular vehicles in its class.
Powertrain configurations available within the range include a 112kW/192Nm 2.0-litre four-cylinder matched to a six-speed automatic, and a more powerful turbocharged 150kW/265Nm 1.6-litre four-cylinder, available in the GT mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch.
While its entry level pricing undercuts similarly sized offerings in the Toyota Corolla and Ford Focus, Kia still provides extra value in its 7-year warranty. The Kia Cerato isn't aiming to be a direct alternative to premium offerings like the Volkswagen Golf, but it offers many of the basics shoppers might ask for.
