The new Cerato is the latest creation from the desk of Peter Schreyer, Kia’s legendary Chief Design Officer. From its distinctive Kia ‘Tiger Nose’ grille to its clipped rear overhang, the car looks poised and athletic, as if under starter’s orders. In profile it’s sleek and purposeful, with a sense of fluidity that’s strongly coupé. In a tired world of automotive carbon copies, the all-new Kia Cerato truly is a stand out vehicle in its segment.

Interior
By extending the wheelbase and completely rethinking the use of space, every occupant will enjoy new Cerato’s roomy interior. Soft-touch materials and carbon pattern embossing are among the finishing touches that give the entire cabin a high-quality, modern feel. The driver-oriented cockpit, featuring an intuitive instrument and switch layout, is the perfect blend of functionality and style. The center fascia is angled towards the driver by 9 degrees, while the distinctive wave-like motif of the dashboard completes the overall look.
Exterior
Emitting a distinctive blue hue, Xenon headlamps light up more of the road with a penetrative, accurate beam. With a unique split-housing design, the fog lights are positioned low on the front bumper for better illumination, increasing on-road visibility. An array of exterior and interior lights synchronize with the smart key to light up and welcome you to the car. A parking system with ultrasonic sensors at the front and back makes parking in tight spaces a breeze.
Safety
Combining a range of passive and active safety features, the new Cerato will give you a reassuring sense of security. A comprehensive airbag system and active headrests protect you in the event of a collision.
