Cerato 2019

The all-new Kia Cerato has made a successful debut, featuring its impressively enhanced exterior and interior design.

Looking more dynamic and stylish, the all-new Cerato’s design has moved in a sportier direction while preserving the original design elements from predecessors.

Unveiled at the 2018 New York International Auto Show in Manhattan, USA, the Cerato maintains its sporty and youthful image, while evolving a more sophisticated appearance that nods to a number of sleek and dynamic styling cues, inspired by the Stinger fastback sport sedan.

Expected to make its debut in Nigeria year-end, Marketing Manager, Kia Motors Nigeria, Jimoh Olawale, said the auto firm is confident that the car will build on the outstanding success and market acceptance of the previous models.

He stated that the all-new 2019 Cerato’s entry will be “premised upon the record-breaking success of the previous models in Nigeria.

The 2019 Kia Cerato has been redesigned with an entirely new aesthetic, taking the model to a notch higher in its segment with its refined sporty exterior and forward thinking technologically embedded interior, the sedan is set on a path to redefine the standards of sedans in the country.”

The front end is more aggressive with a new sturdy version of the Kia’s signature ‘tiger-nose’ grille and a Stinger-esque headlamp design, while the Cerato is the first model in its class to come equipped with full LED headlamps.

The cowl point, base of the windshield, has been moved back to afford a more athletic and well-grounded stance.

Around back, the rear bumpers are designed to look connected – Much like the Kia Sportage compact crossover, the Cerato now has a sleek horizontal trim piece that connects to the LED taillights.

Gaining a more sophisticated design influenced by the Kia Stinger, the 2019 Cerato remains one of the most appealing, affordable vehicles on the market.

Comfortable, high-tech interior

As outstanding as its exterior design, the Cerato’s interior has been redesigned to provide an enhanced sense of spaciousness.

In order to treat both driver and passengers to a more comfortable ride, the overall length, width, and height of the Cerato have been increased to allow for more head and legroom, as well as cargo room in the trunk. offers a ‘class above’ interior plus a higher level of comfort, fuel efficiency and advanced driver assistance technology.

Simplicity is the key to the luxuriousness of the Cerato dashboard.

Again, drawing inspiration from the Stinger, the horizontal layout of the dashboard paints a picture of a wider interior.

Minimizing clutter with clean lines and minimal buttons that are intuitively placed below an 8-inch touchscreen adds a sense of openness to the Cerato’s high-tech look.

Sophisticatedly built for versatile lifestyle.

A more versatile, high-end sedan with eye-catching design, the third-generation Cerato is more attractive to drivers seeking a compact sedan that can accommodate a versatile, active lifestyle.

Also noteworthy are the new Cerato’s structural and safety enhancements.
