Kia Cerato Sedan
The Kia Cerato Sedan comes in three models of its own: 2.0 SX, 2.0 EX, and the 1.6 EX, all available in both automatic and manual transmission. While all models come with most of the same general features as the Koup, the 2.0 litre engine models of this Kia Sedan shine because of the available Flex Steer power steering that gives drivers a chance to put a unique spin on an old road by changing the steering effort.

The 2.0 litre engine Kia Cerato for sale also comes complete with leather seats, and an optional sunroof for ultimate control over those windy summer days. Those interested in the 2.0 SX model should consider the optional accessories to top up the sport factor such as the alloy pedals, rear boot spoiler, and push-to-start button option.
While less zippy than the Kia Koup, getting you from 0-100kph in 9.3 seconds, perhaps the reduced CO2 emissions on the Kia Cerato sedan can offer some kind of bonus.
What distinguishes this Kia Sedan from the Kia Cerato Koup is its “Tiger Nose” grille that gives this model a sportier look than the bold streaks and lines of the Koup.

Safety
The 2.0 SX is the top of the line of the Kia Cerato Sedans in many aspects, notably through its available safety options. Features such as HID Xenon headlamps, park distance control, and a rear-view camera can add simplicity to even the trickiest traffic situations.
With fog lights, LED daytime running lights and ISOFIX Baby seat anchors on all Cerato models, you can count on the Kia Sedan for a safe ride, rain or shine, for both you and your family.
