All-new Cerato: Restart the Magic
Experience the stylish new Kia Cerato, designed to invigorate your drive. This compact sedan offers inspiring performance and the latest driver assistance and entertainment technologies, making life more interesting.
A Perfect Balance: Fun and Function
The Cerato features an enticing silhouette with a long hood, a powerful engine, and a spacious cabin offering ample legroom and headroom. Its design provides new possibilities for exploration, built to go beyond expectations.
Built for Motion, Stunning at Rest
The Cerato combines a sporty character with a nimble suspension and responsive drivetrain, complemented by a spacious and welcoming interior. Aerodynamic contours and a daring stance highlight its readiness for any journey.
Eye-Catching from Any Angle
Details like the boldly shaped headlamp housings, the intersection of the side contour and front grille, and the seamlessly integrated rear trunk lid spoiler contribute to the Cerato's winning personality.
Modern Simplicity, Practical Luxury
The Cerato's dashboard features a clean design with essential driver information displayed on the instrument cluster and a floating center monitor. Metallic trim and turbine-inspired air vents add a sporty yet sophisticated touch.
Engaged and Focused Technology
Technology is designed to encourage attentive driving. The 4.2-inch supervision cluster provides crucial driving information, while the 8-inch display audio system offers easy access to audio controls and vehicle information. It integrates with the rearview camera for enhanced parking. Wireless charging keeps devices powered, and USB chargers are available in the console box and front tray.
Comfort Zone, Wherever You Go
The Cerato's roomy cabin offers clean lines, supportive seats, and pleasing surfaces. All models feature seat bolsters, and the rear seats comfortably accommodate passengers. A one-touch power sunroof provides an open-top driving experience.
Thoughtful Touches That Add Up
The Cerato's appeal extends beyond style and comfort, with details designed for real-life situations. The Smart Trunk automatically unlocks and opens when the smart key is detected for three seconds, ideal for hands-free loading. The smart key fob allows remote unlocking and push-button engine start. An Integrated Memory System (IMS) saves two driver presets for seating position and cluster display. Power-adjustable seats with lumbar support offer personalized comfort, and air-ventilated and heated front seats enhance the driving experience in various conditions.
Watchful Eyes That Never Blink: DRIVE WiSE
Kia's DRIVE WiSE (Advanced Driver Assistance System) enhances driving pleasure and safety. It utilizes advanced sensors and processing technology to manage tedious driving tasks.
- Safety: DRIVE WiSE identifies risks early and intervenes to reduce accident potential.
- Efficiency: Supports efficient driving, respecting driver time and economic interests.
- Convenience: Provides customized information based on surroundings and driver actions to prevent undesirable operations and maximize convenience.
Specific DRIVE WiSE features include:
- Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW): Uses radar technology to alert drivers of vehicles in blind spots via side view mirror alerts.
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW): Scans behind the vehicle when reversing and alerts to crossing vehicles.
- Parking Distance Warning-Forward (PDW-F): Ultrasonic sensors on the front bumper warn of obstacles for safe parking.
Daily Performance, Powered by Ingenuity
The Cerato offers responsive performance with engine options including a 1.6-liter diesel, a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (D-CVVT), and a 2.0-liter gasoline engine. The GT model features a 204-hp turbocharged 1.6-liter GDI engine.
Transmission options include a 6-speed manual transmission, a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission, and a quick 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT).
Drive Mode Select (DMS): Allows drivers to choose between Comfort, Eco, or Smart modes, which adapt to driving style.
The Science of Staying Safe
Kia prioritizes occupant protection with a strengthened body structure, including hot-stamped steel and Advanced High-Strength Steel for enhanced torsional rigidity. The Cerato is equipped with a 6-airbag system (driver, front passenger, front-side, and available side-curtain airbags). Powerful brakes and responsive suspension and steering systems aid in hazard avoidance.
Key safety systems include:
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC): Ensures optimal braking performance and directional control.
- Anti-lock Braking System (ABS): Modulates brake pressure to maintain control during braking.
- Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC): Prevents rolling backward on inclines for up to two seconds after the brake is released.
One More Door, So Many More Possibilities

Features include 60:40 split folding rear seats for versatile cargo space.
GT Styling: Revs Up the Excitement

The interior boasts a racing-inspired steering wheel, paddle shifters, alloy pedals, and sporty front seats for an exciting driving experience.
