KIA Cerato Price in Pakistan | Specs and Features

Despite the recent arrival of a slew of SUVs onto the local market, sedans continue to reign supreme. Given that sedans are still the most popular car body style in the country, automakers do not fail to introduce new sedans every year.

KIA, which built a name for itself with the legendary Sportage, has yet to offer a sedan in Pakistan. And, while no formal statements have been made by the firm, its globally popular sedan – Cerato – may be offered in Pakistan in 2022. It is a mid-range sedan with a variety of modern features and competitive specifications.

Cerato has already piqued the interest of motorheads. Cerato is getting all the attention it needs thanks to KIA’s very successful models – Grand Carnival, Picanto, Stonic, Sportage, and Sorento. Cerato’s fourth generation is likely to be launched in Pakistan, indicating that the company is expanding its product line in the local market.

Overview of KIA Cerato

Engine and performance

The official website of KIA Lucky Motors shows that this sedan could be offered in three engines:

• Gamma 1.6
• Nu 2.0 and
• 1.6 Diesel

According to sources, Cerato is going to have the D-CVVT Gamma 1.6L petrol engine with electronic fuel injection. Here are some important specs of this engine.

Because of its powerful engine and light weight aluminium body, the performance of this car with 6-speed automatic/manual transmission is said to be remarkable.

Fuel economy of KIA Cerato

In global models, the fuel economy of the 1.6L KIA Cerato is stated to be 6.6L per 100Km. For the purpose of simplicity, it equates to around 15 km/L. When compared to other automobiles in this category, the economy is average. When the car is officially launched in Pakistan, the actual economy rate will be known.

KIA Cerato interior

This KIA sedan offers a modern interior design and amenities that will likely appeal to many local buyers. Its heated steering wheel includes a plethora of buttons for various operations. Carbon pattern embossing on artificial leather imparts a high-quality, modern appearance. The sliding centre armrest is both comfortable and stylish in its design. The 4.3″ LCD in the cluster (between the rpm and speedometer) displays important vehicle information. There are additional rear air vents on this vehicle. The sunroof improves the overall appearance of the interior.

We can only hope that the corporation does not disappoint its local clients by removing some interior amenities. It is due to the fact that other KIA vehicles in Pakistan have superb interior design and features.
