Kia Cerato 2016

The 2016 Kia Cerato range of configurations is currently priced from $8,999. Our most recent review of the 2016 Kia Cerato resulted in a score of 7 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton had this to say at the time: There's plenty to like about the Si trim level, and the Cerato in general, with a composed drive, plenty of standard kit and one of the most comprehensive ownership programs in the business. But the problem remains, the entry-level Cerato is well-equipped, is powered but the same engine and, for $500, will arrive with the same multimedia and navigation set-up as the more expensive models.

This is what Andrew Chesterton liked most about this particular version of the Kia Cerato: Good exterior design with large interior, Great suspension tune for Australian conditions, Still that 7-year warranty

The 2016 Kia Cerato carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1200 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

The Kia Cerato is also known as the Kia Forte in markets outside Australia.
