Many commentators believe that, more than ever, new car buyers want vehicles that reflect positively on them as owners and fulfill wide-ranging applications. Cars need to perform, only lightly touch the environment, look good, deliver on safety, be reliable and be well-appointed.
Kia will bring a range of new and revamped models to the Australian market this year, well-endowed with features, stunning looks and impressive value for money - in essence, cars that deliver on their promise.
First to arrive is the handsome new Kia Cerato, a compact sporty sedan that will meet the needs of many Australian car buyers.
The new Cerato is the first Kia released in Australia to feature the new 'Schreyer line', a family corporate grille design from the pen of Kia's global chief design officer, Peter Schreyer, who joined the company in 2006 from the Volkswagen Group.
According to Schreyer, it's no surprise that design is the No.1 purchase influence but it is essential that new designs match both the Kia brand value and the vision of the Kia brand.
As head of design, Schreyer has worked to develop a new, more contemporary look for all Kia vehicles.
The new Cerato is the first mass production Kia that embodies his thinking, and introduces a look that is sporty with an element of aggression.
Eye-catching integrity of design is just one factor in new car buyers' minds. Customers want quality, safety, reliability, value and low total cost of ownership. That's where the efficiencies of Kia's highly-developed production facilities are displayed in the all-new Cerato, building cars in a smarter way with more efficient use of materials.
New Cerato is the perfect choice for people seeking a modern, well-engineered and more efficient car to reduce their ownership costs without compromising quality, safety or reliability.
Available as an entry-level S model or a generously-equipped SLi model, the new Cerato bridges the gap between small and medium cars with the space, performance, features and value that many Australian car buyers are seeking, without having to pay more for a medium-sized car with a larger and less economical engine.
Longer and wider than its predecessor, the new Kia Cerato has a spacious and comfortable interior with room for five occupants and a bigger boot.
New Cerato features an all-new, efficient 2.0-litre engine with Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) for class-leading power and torque, delivering the pulling power and responsiveness of a 2.2-litre engine without the fuel consumption of a bigger engine.
Like all new Kia vehicles now sold in Australia, the new Cerato will be covered by Kia's 5-year/unlimited kilometre warranty for private buyers (5-year/130,000kms for fleet buyers).
