For this class of cars, Jenny prefers the hatch design, but the rear of the sedan looks much better thanks to the 2022 upgrade. The only version of the Cerato with a turbo engine is this GT. It’s a 1.6 turbo with 150 kW and 265 Nm, the latter pulling the car with all the force from 1500 to 4500 revs. This engine is also the only one that is paired with a 7-speed DCT. It’s not the latest 8-speed wet-clutch DCT, but it is a very befitting choice for this kind of sporty car.
The KIA Cerato GT sedan has a price of just under 37k driveaway. Or weekly repayments from as little as $130 a week with our channel partners Ausloans.
