A Car that Uplifts Your Life
Slide inside Cerato and you’ll notice two things immediately. The first, a serene and hushed atmosphere with the kind of ‘prestige’ feel you’d expect in a car costing many thousands of dollars more. The second, a level of space which belies the car’s compact external dimensions. Aside from generous head, leg and knee room for up to five, there’s an adjustable headrest and a 3-point seatbelt for each as well. There are centre armrests front and rear, both incorporating convenient storage compartments; and rear passengers have elegant net-style map pockets.
The driver enjoys the ease of having all critical controls in close reach, with the standard cruise control being literally a fingertip away on the back of the tilt-adjustable steering wheel. Air-conditioning keeps everyone comfortable and is whisper-quiet, so you’ll hear every note from the six speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3-compatible sound system.
In both sedan and hatch versions, the rear seats have a 60:40 split-fold function to enable extensions to the already large luggage compartments.
The Kia Cerato offers plenty of power with it's smooth 2.0 litre, 105kW engine. At the same time, clever thinking makes it more efficient and highly economical. The five-speed manual transmission or the optional Tiptronic-style automatic ensures a smart transfer of power to the wheels; and the latest techniques in NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) minimisation ensure the Cerato is relaxing and refined on the road.
Cerato’s active safety features include: powerful four wheel disc brakes, coupled with a finely-tuned suspension set-up utilising MacPherson struts at the front and a dual-link rear, provide superb poise and predictability in all conditions. ABS anti-lock brakes, available as an option on both Cerato versions, help the driver to avoid a scenario in which the car skids out of control in an emergency braking manoeuvre by automatically adjusting the amount of brake pressure being applied. ABS brings with it Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), which maintains the car’s poise in a sudden stop by balancing the braking effect between the front and rear wheels.
