Kia Cerato review


Is this a good blend of price and performance? For a bit over $30k there's a lot of car for the money. You take $24,870 and go straight to our sister site autotrader.com.au and get yourself that sweet-as 2015 white Mazda MX-5 convertible with the manual gearbox and 32,141km on the clock. Thanks! Doing this latter action clearly ramps up the amount of engine noise piped into the cabin too. Has it hit the mark?At long last, Kia has what Aussies want in a hatch with a bit of extra poke: five doors and an automatic transmission. I wonder if it’s prone to overheating? The former from Japan offers classical clean-sheet design with curves to burn, and a sophisticated high-technology interior that hits all the right notes...While buyers continue to gravitate toward SUVs, small cars haven’t entirely lost their appeal. There are plenty of things to like here. The stability control system also stays largely out of affairs. For those with little kids, there are two ISOFIX anchor points and three top tether points located in the seat-backs. The fact they’re electric, heated and cooled, and have memory presets its brilliant for a cheap car like this. They’re the same size, but which do you reckon has the biggest boot? The leather seats comfortable, though I’d welcome a smidgen more side bolstering. You can find our 2019 Kia Cerato GT hatch review here, but you can also get it in sedan form. No green and no yellow.The Cerato is a small car, but not the smallest Kia – that’s the You can get the Cerato as a four-door sedan or a five-door hatchback. However, I can say that I think if you need something practical and have about $15-$17k in your pocket, one of these would be great...The Kia Cerato is one of the best cars going around these days for value for money. Spend it on wipes and nappies instead.I just spent three months plugged in, living with a Hyundai Kona EV. Dead wrong.The word Cerato means horn-like and is a much better returning label than the Ceed some five years ago, but there’s a second meaning to the name.If you wind the clock back, I dunno, a hundred of million years or something, a family of prehistoric lungfish were among the earliest forms of amphibious critters trying to decide whether it wanted to swim in the sea or crawl up onto land. By and large, the Kia Cerato S hatch is a fun car to drive. It’s not all SUV buses and Bogan-special dual-cab utes. Cheaply made and cheap to buy, the Cerato made steady progress in the Australian market until, in 2013, Kia underwent a huge shift in the way it made and marketed its cars. The catch is, the GT’s ride is firm and jarring over potholes and speed bumps.If you’re looking for something which has a comfortable ride and is fuss-free to drive then the S, the Sport and Sport Plus are for you.See, Kia set out to make the GT a bit more hardcore – it has a more powerful engine, firmer suspension (the torsion bar set-up in the other grades was swapped for a multi-link system in the rear of the GT), it also sits lower and rides on 18-inch wheels with low-profile Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres. Sounds like a good start! Let’s go full ‘Area 51’ on these apparent signals to aliens, in space. Even worse is how it looks when the Sheep Shaggers across the ditch get blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise, AEB Vulnerable Road User, rear cross-traffic alert all standard.Above all, regardless of whether you opt for the safety pack or not - but you definitely should for the sake of a paltry fifteen-hundred bucks - the Cerato is structurally very safe. I’ve driven the sporty one – the GT on some of Australia’s best roads, and I’ve driven the rest, the S and the Sport, on some of the worst roads.I feel I know the Cerato so well now, I reckon I could almost build one if you gave me the pieces.Here’s what I learnt about what could be the best value small car buy out there right now. Okay, have you met the I did, I’ve met them all - every Cerato from this new generation model. It's good looking, practical, affordable and fun to drive, and has the reassurance of a seven-year warranty to boot. But that 1.6 in the Cerato is like putting a big red button on the Howitzer so even a novice heavy artillery operator like you or I can access most of its performance on the public road.We’re talking sports car-esque performance from the likes of a mid-spec Toyota 86, which admittedly has less torque and a fraction less power, but is 160kg lighter. And in between, there’s a practical and comfortable interior that makes the Cerato roomy transport for a small family...It's time.
