Kia Cerato Engines and Transmissions

Each Kia Cerato engine here is a petrol unit driving the front wheels. The 1.6 comes with a manual gearbox for lower running costs or an automatic for easier city traffic, while the 2.0 automatic adds relaxed overtaking. All share the same front-wheel-drive layout.

Kia Cerato Trims and Equipment

Kia Cerato trim levels sit on top of the mechanical version rather than changing it. The 1.6 automatic sedan, for example, appears as Luxe and Premium: identical engine and gearbox, different comfort, convenience and safety equipment. Comparing trims within one powertrain shows what extra money actually buys.
