Any word on price or equipment yet?

No, not yet, but if our test car is anything to go by, equipment levels look set to be impressively high.

Our red Cerato packed radar cruise control, lane keep assist, autonomous emergency braking (AEB), forward collision warning, front/rear parking sensors and a reversing camera, as well as the new larger 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

And to be completely honest, I spent the week wondering why

The 2.0-litre petrol engine carries over from the previous model and is adequate without being exciting.

The Cerato’s interior is nicely made and very well equipped, but oh-so black.
