Kia's Latest Car: Is It A Good Choice for You?
The Cerato's cabin has a pleasing appearance to it. Everything is extremely understated and flows together very well.
However, there are not any blank buttons on the steering wheel, and there are just a handful on the right side of the dashboard. In most cases, it is very obvious relatively quickly that you are in the more affordable model. The only thing about this automobile that screams "cheap" is the hub caps on the exterior, but let's not concentrate on that since it's simple to change.
A material with a soft touch covers the dashboard, and this material flows through the doors, which are encased in a soft plastic. There is none of that scratchy, low-quality plastic; rather, it is a more polished substance that has a somewhat more upscale vibe.
When placed next to the more athletic front seats found in the Cerato GT, the seats found in the Cerato S are comfy but fail to wow. This is particularly true when contrasted to the Cerato GT. There is a wide range of adjustment, making it possible for people of varying body types to find a comfortable position.
A touchscreen with a resolution of 8.0 inches and a form factor similar to that of an iPad stands upright in the middle of the dashboard. Unfortunately, the wireless versions of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto did not function as faultlessly as you would want them to. These features are not available in all models.
During our time behind the wheel of the Cerato, the wireless CarPlay system failed to function properly on many occasions, just as it did during my previous test drive in the Kia Stonic. This time around, it wasn't quite as awful, which suggests that the adjustments that have been made have been effective; but, there is still room for improvement in that particular area.
Underneath the display, there is a tray that is just big enough to accommodate even the largest iPhone, and underneath that, there is a somewhat larger tray that has two USB-A connections, one of which provides rapid charging for mobile devices and the other of which provides standard charging.
Two cupholders of a respectable size are located just below the gear lever, together with the driving mode selection and the electronic hand brake. A deep center bin as well as a smaller tray for coins, in the event that people still use currency in this day and age, are located under the central armrest. If this is your first vehicle, the glove compartment is the ideal place to store gold coins so that you may treat yourself to a sneaky frozen coke.
The storage compartment is hidden under a somewhat large center armrest made of a material that feels similar to leather and has a velvety texture. It is in an ideal location for my elbow.
The Kia Cerato continues the tendency that Kia automobiles have of providing a significant amount of useable space while having a compact body size. The rear seats are quite spacious, with enough space for even three people to sit across from one another on shorter journeys. You'll also be able to install kid seats that face the back of the vehicle without sacrificing space for an adult passenger in the front passenger seat.
When both of these seats are up, there is a total of 502 liters of room available in the trunk of the vehicle. Neither of these features has affected the other. There is sufficient space for a full-sized stroller as well as the groceries, and there is even a little bit of wiggle room left over.
In addition to that, a space saving spare made of steel has been installed under the car's floor. The one thing I have a problem with, and it's something that really gets under my skin, is when the back windows won't go all the way down.
Not only does it have an unpleasant appearance, but there are only so many ways I can attempt to explain to my young child that it just does not go much farther down. Kia, on behalf of all the parents in the world, please make it so that the back windows can go all the way down.
