Test of the updated sedan Kia Cerato: What has changed? Kia Cerato "With a sense, with a sense, with an arrangement" Kia Cerato trunk volume.

Korean company Kia was seriously delivered from his image "manufacturer of modest cars with an uncommitable design." As a result, five new models of brand cars should appear on the Russian market in 2009, and everything in the new style. So one of the main novelties of Kia is a sedan golf class "Serato".

By the way, Kia in the golf class already has a very successful model - this is more-d. But Cee'd is the "hatchback" and "wagon", and the only sedan in this class has long been the morally outdated "Spectra". And I came to replace the new "Cerato" (second generation). And in 2009 (as you can see for both new "Soul") KIA does not save on the design of the exterior - the three-tier Kia Cerato looks quite modern and far away. And in some angles even look like new sedan Honda Civic and other c-segment leaders.

By the way, for the attractive design of Kia Cerato, first of all, it is necessary to thank Peter Schraira, who has been engaged before audi design TT and Volkswagen Beetle, and a few years ago switched to Kia. His task was to make the exterior of this car as emotional as possible, moderately sporty and, most importantly, memorable. And, we can say that he succeeded. A shape of the radiator lattice and headlights of the novelty was adopted for the "corporate identity" and, with time, will be applied on other models of KIA.

Test drive new Kia Cerato. Passed in Marakesh (Morocco), where satisfactory quality asphalt mountain roads I am replete with turns, and if you leave the highway - we will find yourself on the primer. In short, it is possible to ride, but it is necessary to watch the local fauna (and this is not only cats and dogs, but also a turtle) under the wheels did not climb.

For the "second Cerato" you can choose between two 4-cylinder engines (only gasoline): 1.6 or 2.0 liter.
Engine 1.6 (126 hp) can be aggregated with a 6-step "mechanics" and with a 6-stroke "machine" (from 2011, previously it was an archaic 4-speed "automatic" and old 5 -the step "mechanics").
For 2.0 (150 hp) is offered only automatic gearbox. Next, we will consider the machine with a 1.6-liter unit and mechanical box Gears \u003d Comfort equipment (the most affordable in the Russian market).

The first thing that is worth noting is "Cerato 2" with the "younger" engine, due to its small mass, accelerates "up to hundreds" just for ~ 10 seconds (with a "automatic" is already ~ 11.5 seconds).
The capacity of the 1.6-liter engine is quite enough, but if the car is well loaded, then on low revolutions His 126 hp It seems slightly sluggish. However, on the serpentine they can be "spinning" by lowering the transfer. But on a more complex, not asphalt lift - here it will be necessary to play with clutch (in this regard, "mechanics", again, preferably).

The chassis settings for Cerato 2nd generation deserve praise: the car is reliably followed by a given trajectory. Rolls in turns are moderate, and the electric drive allows you to clearly feel the road. Yes - driving this foreign car you can ride in a sporty style, but for such manageability I had to pay comfort. His suspension can not be called soft. On the pyles, the car shook noticeably, and on the "stones" wheel arches "Second Serato" and are completely transformed into the "impact instruments orchestra".
Noise isolation, by the way, leaves much to be desired, but it is typically for cars this class And it can hardly be "recorded in minus." As, however, very harsh plastic in the cabin.

The rest - the layout and design of the Kia Cerato interior can be called successful. Adjusting the driver's seat and steering wheel create a sufficient range for a comfortable landing of the driver. The road can be seen great - thin front racks visibility do not spoil. The devices are recessed in deep wells, readings with them are read comfortable.

In the rear sofa Kia Cerato, the spacious, of course, does not induce, but this may well accommodate three people of middle growth and a set.

The trunk here is decent, for its segment, volume and with a full-sized possessing under Falsefol.

Due to its good dynamics, the car is ideal for riding in urban conditions. The two-liter Cerato accelerates to 100 kilometers per hour in just 9.3 seconds. However, he can develop maximum speed up to 205 kilometers per hour.

Model with a motor of 1.6 liters is less dynamic. But at the same time acceleration to "hundreds" she takes only 11.6 seconds. Technical kIA characteristics Cerato allow this car sufficiently easy to maneuver in urban reasons.

It is impossible not to note the economy of these machines. IN mixed cycle They consume about 7.2 liters per 100 kilometers (with a two-liter engine). In the city, this indicator is 10.2 liters, meanwhile, on the highway Cerato, it is very economically spending fuel, consuming only 5.4 liters.

Transmission

Kia Cerato engines are equipped with automatic and mechanical gearbox with six gears. As for the drive, it is in the car of this model of the front, which again speaks of their commitment to urban ride and country highway. But to test the car for strength on off-road is not recommended.

Released this model In the body sedan. Thanks enough compact envelitam The car is easy to park in a metropolis. The length of the machine is 4.56 m, the width is 1.78 m and the height - 1.45 m. The clearance is 15 centimeters. Therefore, hare high borders Or fall into deep pits on the roads are not recommended.

Technical characteristics of KIA Cerato 2017 allow you to go on a journey, taking with you all the most necessary. The volume of the luggage compartment is 482 liters.

Under the wave of updates korean manufacturer I got this year and another popular sedan - Cerato. New model It must return to the last level of the sale of the car in our country, because before he was on a leading position with an indicator in more than one hundred thousand. For it new Kia. Cerato 2018. model year Get a significant number of updates in all aspects.

The design of the machine turned out to be very caller and stylish. Here are perfectly combined as many elements of the relief, and the simplicity of the simplicity of the Korean brand models is familiar.

The decoration of the front is the grille of the radiator, which is used in all new models Kia.. It is a long oval, with small deepening in the center. Inside there is a grid with a multitude of holes like shape. The edging of it is made chrome.

Optics here in length may not be inferior to the main air intake system. It starts straight from her and ends only in the middle of the arches of the wheels. It has many both halogen lamps and LED light bulbs.

At the bottom you can see another air supply system to motor compartment. Here it has already been performed a little differently - a trapezium with beveled corners, inside which several horizontal strips, and on the sides - fog lights of decent sizes. A little further there is another pair of deepening in the body, but here they are already intended to cool the front brakes.

The hood is long enough, without any relief, but with a small hubber in the center. The windshield has a large angle of inclination and it seems just huge. There are practically no roofs here, as the rear window begins through a small distance.

Side new Body almost nothing stands out. Here you can find stylish medium-sized discs on a low profile, slightly protruding arches of wheels, beautiful multicolored edging of glass, which almost never takes the shape of a straight line, as well as a small recess at the bottom of the machine and a modest skirt.

The rear of Kia Cerato 2018 in the photo looks very interesting. The trunk is raised high enough, it is also equipped with a small spoiler. Optics here is much wider than in front, but in length is clearly not inferior. Downstairs there are several protrusions in the body, some protection on which there is additional stop lights and a single exhaust.

Salon

Inside the car does not look modestly, but also not catchy. There will be nothing superfluous here. Restyling brought into the car and new materials in the finish - now it is used and genuine leather, and even in the database it can be found. Everything else is performed by cloth, good plastic and aluminum.

Kia Serato 2018 dashboard is small. In the center of it - a seventhimemic multimedia screen, in which the entire main functionality of the model is located. Just below it also have several rows of buttons, but they can only manage climate Installation, as well as the simplest features. On the sides of all this there are deflectors that occupy approximately half the length of the entire tidy. The same are also at the ends of the Torpeda.

The central tunnel is wide, but not long. Pretty close to the driver is now placed handle gearbox and two more rows of buttons changing ride modes. In addition, here you can find small holes for various trifles and modest, but convenient armrest.

And here steering wheel It is used by another, not as on other new products KIA. He got another form and functionality. You can customize the audio system from it, respond and finish calls from the phone and activate cruise control. Dashboard Original - completely electronic and appears only when the engine is headed. There you can see the current speed, turnover, the amount of fuel, the oil temperature and other information that already displays on-board computer.

Quite high-quality materials are used to finish the seats. Outside it is fabric and skin, and inside the original material, which is not hard, and not soft, thanks to which even in distant and sophisticated trips about discomfort you can safely forget. There are several options for adjusting the position, heating and side support. Behind the place is not that much, but enough for sure to two people. The third problems may already arise, but if it is not very overall, they will be quite avoided. There are also some adjustments and side support.

Information in luggage compartment No cars. But, if we consider that the dimensions did not change, then, most likely, the volume of the trunk also remained the same. In normal mode, this indicator is 480 liters, and with a folded rear row - under 1400 liters.

Specifications

And here Kia Cerato 2018 will not differ much from its predecessor. Characteristics of the proposed motors will remain the same. These will be gasoline installations whose volumes are 1.6 and 2 liters. They will be able to up to 131 and 152 horsepower power, respectively. The model did not become faster, but the test drive showed that the fuel consumption was significantly reduced. Now only 6.5 and 7 liters of gasoline are spent.

For the first unit, a six-speed transmission may be made, which can be both manual and automatic, but the second will be able to boast only robotic.

Significant changes occurred in the suspension so that the car be better felt on our roads, because russian market - One of the priorities. There are also several modes of engine settings, transmissions and suspension, which are controlled from the cabin.

Configuration and prices

The one who chooses the basic version of the car will receive, heated the front armchairs, mirrors, their adjustments, heated windshield, air conditioning system, excellent audio system, anti-lock system, Multiple airbags, curtains. The price of the complication depends on the selected motor. The first will have to give 950 thousand rubles on mechanics and 990 on the machine. The second is already estimated at 1.05 million rubles.

In the top vessel, there are sensors and parking sensors, light sensors, rain, course stability, climate control, cruise control, system emergency braking, help at start, xenon headlights, Drive on mirrors, trunk, control of blind zones and much more. This version goes only with a two-liter installation and is estimated at 1.2 million rubles.

Release date in Russia

Start of sales in Russia should be expected in the first months of 2018. Many residents of European countries have the opportunity to acquire this novelty.

Competitors

This price category contains very similar to the equipment and technical characteristics of the model, such as. To win competition, the car will have to surprise the inhabitants of our country.

Kia Cerato III Generation 2012-N.V.

Kia has already released the third generation of Cerato model in 2012. Compared to the predecessor, it has become more, more dynamic, more comfortable and safer.

This model from the "gray mouse", which she was at the time of the first generation in 2003, turned into a bright golf class representative.

The KIA Cerato exterior looks elegant and exquisite, littered back the roof and a small trunk lid make their contribution to the body stream. Front at the same time solid and aggressive.

Gamma Motors Presented two force aggregates - 1,6-liter 130-strong motor and 2 liters and a capacity of 150 "champions". The latter gives the machine with explosive temperament. All atmospheric motors Inline and have a quartet of cylinders. The power is enough completely, even though they do not "shoot" as turbocharged "Germans". This contributes somewhat growing, compared with the last generation, the characteristics of the engines, as well as the reduced weight of the car.

MCPs goes only with a 1.6-liter engine. On the kIA test drives Cerato marked some standing "Automat"why car had to be customized manually. But all this for the sake of fuel economy, the consumption of which is about 6.5-7 liters per 100 km of way. Full drive No, no, but even with the front, the machine has become somewhat obedient.

Salon Very good. And this despite the rather solid finishing plastic. However, designers would not bother at least a little diversify color gamut. The monophonic interior seems boring.


Assembly quality at height, seats are very comfortable, as well as the steering wheel. The tidy is perfectly read. In general, the interior is similar to Kia Optima.. Behind the spot is enough, the truth of the threesome on the sofa, although it is possible, but uncomfortable.

Basic equipment In terms of comfort, it is not bad - here and adjust the steering wheel in height and departure, and email. Drive mirrors, and air conditioning, and "music" and on-board computer. For security, however, nothing outstanding - 2 "Air-Baga", ABS and EBD.

And here maximum equipment very generous. The safety of passengers is responding to the HHC, ABS, EBA, ESP and EBD systems. On the last border of defense placed front and side pillows, and also inflatable curtains. Successful exterior complements expressive 17-inch disks made of light alloy. But the comfort is provided by adjusting the multi-mellum, double-zone "climatics", heating the steering wheel and all seats, a rear view camera, a display and much more.

Prices Start from 669,900 rubles. and reach 919,900 rubles. What do you say? Only the fact that a good product cannot cost cheaply.

Kia Cerato made modestly. Will the update help?

On the left rides the dearen Cerato, right - new. Design change - on an amateur: the new front face C elongated narrow headlights and gills on the bumper looks harmonious, but not so original as before. Rear - the raised lights, and in the top version - new --17-inch wheels.

The interior has not changed almost. Pads on the steering wheel - still bellow, the inappropriate inserts "under carbon" are cheerful, and the display multimedia system It did not become larger: a chic eighty-seaman screen with navigation, as in the Cee'd hatchback, still in dreams. And why did the driver's seat with a good lateral support, were the adjustment of the lumbar backpage? She used to be only in expensive equipment, and now we have to carry a pad with them all without exception. But the blind zone monitoring system is available with useful feature: When moving reverse She warns about the approaching the side of cars. And due to the cunning form of the central console, which does not interfere with the right knee, Cerato is still comfortable for long-legged.


The console and lining on pedals on the driver are now more justified, but the switching of driving modes (Normal / Eco / Sport) on machines with a "machine" key next to the selector - Useless toy

0 / 0

Modified electric power steering - as a sip of fresh air. If earlier from the ram with a stone-shed "zero" and the illogical effort proceeds only that disinformation, now - there is, there is feedback! But with the comfort of business, it was better not: Popular atmospheric 1.6 with a capacity of 130 hp (Over 80% of sales) is still annoying with nasty and loud sound even on medium turnover. And the tender suspension is well coped with only a microprophile: on the waves - the routine, on the pits - blows.

The electric powerlier is still on the steering shaft, but the processor is replaced by a more productive

But the basic version 1.6 Comfort with "Mechanics", air conditioning, heated front seats, -15-inch stamping and rear drum brakes Not yet rose - 952900 rubles. Moreover, he lost heating of the steering wheel, but received the front side airbags and inflatable curtains. And now with a surcharge of 45 thousand rubles, the "comfortable" Cerato can be bought with a "automatic", which is still adequate and melt is damaging. It turned out one of the most affordable two-winged cars in the classroom.

However, more attractive "automatic" version 1.6 Prestige with a stabilization system, -16-inch alloy wheels, -climat control, parking sensors and heated - Sitting seats It became more expensive for 45 thousand - 1114900 rubles. It's nice that Cerato with two-liter engine With a capacity of 150 hp A simpler version appeared, cheapering for the same 45 thousand, - a favorable offer for those whom the dynamics are more important than equipping. However, it should be borne in mind that in January with the advent of the mandatory system -Eer-GLONASS prices will grow slightly. However, not only Kia, but also from other manufacturers.

By the way, in the pre-crisis years, Cerato was two and a half times more popular than the promotional sedana Hyundai. Elantra. But the statistics of the past ten months -2016 are reverse: Cerato - 3108 machines, Elantra - 5529. The representative of Kia claims that the demand was higher suggestions due to the schedule of the Kaliningrad Conveyor of the full cycle on the production of an updated model: they say, in the new year, Cerato will again become Sold better.

Will buyers appreciate what machine has become nicer to manage? I would still work on the smoothness of the course ... Remember because why the third generation is so consonant with the Cerato of the third generation Dinosaur triceratops - horned and battle with sight, but herbivorny? Because it did not change.
