Kia’s Cerato is a small car package that gives price-conscious buyers some serious food for thought. With a hatchback and sedan range split across four trim levels and the option of a turbocharged GT flagship that is far more engaging behind the wheel, there’s no shortage of choice within the lineup. Inside, the Cerato’s cabin is reasonably spacious for the segment, particularly in sedan form, while Kia’s seven-year warranty coverage makes it all but impossible to ignore while comparing options in the small car segment.
