Smarter AEB

All Cerato sedans are now fitted with AEB – a solid step forward in a segment where the potentially lifesaving equipment is far from standard-issue – but the Sport+ grade goes a step further with a more intelligent system that can detect pedestrians and cyclists, rather than just other cars. The same technology is optional on the base S and mid-spec Sport at a cost of $1000, but putting it on the options list for those grades rather than making it standard range-wide seems like a missed opportunity for Kia to take a position of leadership on safety in the small-car segment.
