KIA CERATO
The new KIA Cerato is a revamped edition to the old one, if not a complete burst of change. This stylish and muscular C segment sedan is a seductive mix of style, enticing features and technological innovation.
Appearance
One glance at the Cerato and it is immediately apparent that it embraces a spirit of sportiness. The muscular styling and sharp contours immediately appease to those obsessed with speed. The new grille derives from KIA’s new family of grilles that tapers towards the fenders, neatly integrating the headlamps. The design and styling of the new Cerato is aggressive and promises to turn heads wherever it ventures.
Performance
For those looking for ample power below the hood the Cerato is never short of grunt. The 1.6 liter gasoline engine generates a whooping 124 PS and 156 NM of torque. That makes it well versed at overtaking maneuvers and is a sheer pleasure to drive. The Cerato harnesses the best in KIA’s engineering and adopts tried and tested technologies making sure its best in terms of performance, durability and reliability.
Interiors
The interiors on board the Cerato are rich and welcoming. Integrated with full black appointments with a touch of silver on the front dash the car accentuates the spirit of sportiness. The layout of the dash is neat and the buttons feel good to the fingers. The steering mounted controls on the three spoke steering wheel makes driving fun with easy access to the infotainment systems. The cabin is roomier and you can enjoy a host of quality features like the automatic climate control and in-built music system.
Safety
As elegant as it looks the Cerato is built with maximum attention to the safety of its occupants. Reinforced body shell deters impact away from the cabin. Driver and passenger side airbags come as standard which are designed to provide special support for the pelvis and the torso. Seat belts are equipped with pretensioners to protect passengers from rapid movement during impact. Then there is the ABS that aids the driver under harsh heavy braking. And finally 4 ultrasonic sensors underneath the rear bumper detect any obstructions at the back, preventing injuries to pedestrians and damage to the car as well. The sportier suspension setup soaks up bumps with ease and ensures a smooth and stable ride.
