A huge bang for your buck
ARE you in the market for a midsized family sedan with gorgeous styling, a sizable interior and generous kit, but do not want to break the bank? Are you tired of the existing generic options and crave a different experience in what a car can offer?
There is one such car that fits these needs, and it is the Kia Cerato.
The outer package
The Cerato’s exterior design treads a fine line between being muscly and dainty. Its squared front face, projector halogen headlamps and bumper side vents give it an air of muscularity while in the back, its tail lights lend it a sophisticated, hi-tech look.
The tail lights on the Cerato are probably one of the more unique ones you will see on a dark Malaysian highway.
One thing is for sure – the entire package stands out among other saloons on sale today.
The inside counts
On the inside, the curvaceous dashboard dominates the entire perspective. The soft plastic and leather are pleasant to touch, making the fixtures easy to use. The interior of the Cerato is akin to that of a European car, but you do not have to pay the premium that comes with purchasing such cars.
There are two LCD displays that feed information from the car’s trip computer and infotainment system so that you do not miss a single beat when on the road in the Cerato.
Easing the way for you
The Cerato boasts a host of features that will enhance your comfort and make your driving experience more pleasurable. Cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity and paddle shifters are a few key features that are included in the Cerato to improve your travel experience.
Prepared for the unexpected
The most important consideration when buying a car is how safe the vehicle is. The Cerato comes with six airbags and a bodyshell with a collision dispersal structure.
In the event of an accident, the Cerato’s body will disperse much of the impact force while keeping the occupants safe. Besides that, the car has additional safety measures such as an anti-lock braking system, electronic brakeforce distribution, stability control and ISOFIX child seat harnesses.
Ultimate value for money
You may think that a car with this many features would cost an arm and leg, but the best thing about the Cerato is its affordability. The 1.6-litre model comes with 17-inch alloy wheels and prices start from only RM98,032.45.
If you are worried about maintenance, you may be pleased to find out that this car comes with a five-year warranty (with unlimited mileage). Head to your nearest Kia showroom to have a look at the Cerato today.
