Test Drive Kia Cerato since 2009 Sedan
Global averaging
Would you have been able to eat one raisin for a long time? Or play alone chips but without a table? So the goal of global models is not surprising with raisins or chips. And just like and be comfortable. Kia Cerato is just from their number. Appeated in the second generation of Kia Cerato one of the world bestsellers of the Korean brand. Unlike the European Ceed, this model refers to the global. And in such cases, in front of designers and designers, it is difficult to find solutions that satisfy tastes and customer requests in various regions of the planet. Belonging to a variety of automotive cultures. So Cherato can be called a citizen of the world. And some pronounced motifs you will not find here. In a smooth look, there is both Asian roundedness, and a fashionable roof line in Europe, and American notes are noticeable in the interior. The appearance is calm and balanced. Outside, the names of KIA, and high-tech optics (bi-xenon lights with LED running lights in front, LED lights from behind) hints that the car has a completely modern car. There are no more visual declarations and all the more designer provocations and can not be. The second generation of Cerato has become a little longer, just below, the wheelbase has grown, and the sinks became shorter. The interior is dominated by the reconcilatory idea of \u200b\u200ba soft wave. But the tastes of the American and Asian markets here all the same turned. There would be no Europeans to make such tides on the top of the front panel above the glove box. And Americans, and even more than Asians, it will appreciate. Yes, and carbon insertion in the center for European standards looks too pretentious for a family car. But, for example, the same Japanese their models for the United States decorate in such a similar style. In the rest of the rest, the cabin is not catchy, faithful to conservative values. What you can not say about the equipment. There is almost everything that can be assumed in the car of a similar class! In the most expensive versions and seats with electrically regulators and memory, and heating all seats, and the heated area of \u200b\u200brest of the janitor. Touchscreen, USB, AUX interfaces, Bluetooth finishing with metallized coatings and leather. At the present level and security system: from stabilization and a platoon break to help when starting on the rise. Of the pleasant little things a more developed parking radar system (two sensors have been added in the front bumper) and the rear view camera. On the front row of problems with the place is not at all! It became more spacious and in length (especially since it is more comfortable to get a good driver helps the driver), and in width. But behind the restriction is height! The stock of space over the head of passengers fell victim to the modern low roof line, and if your height under 190 cm is better not to strive. Under the hood, two options for gasoline engines are envisaged. 1,6-liter 130-strong Gamma family and a two-liter new NU family (150 forces). The difference in power is small, but the character of the car is changing. The younger engine has more likely to drive, a two-liter sometimes provokes to fed. The more powerful version also provides control of a 6-speed automaton using submissive petals. But the pleasure of the active drive is not an end to Cherato. Partly at this hints and the system of variable effort on the Rule Flex Steer. It is just just possible to control the button in the immediate accessibility on a very fitted steering wheel. That's just three modes give exactly three different efforts. And the transparency of the taxi does not change, and very clear zero is present in all three states. It seemed that the control of Cerato and consists precisely in this deviation from zero, since the course stability in the car is real at height. By the way, like noise insulation! At first glance, the new Kia Cerato leaves ambiguous sensations. Everything is very good, but there is no raisin. But after all, all sorts of raisins are very individual. Who will give more drive, to whom there is a place to accommodate. A citizen of the world should be diplomatic, able to find a common language anywhere on the planet! More importantly for the success of the global model. Guaranteed set of qualities, confidence in behavior, lack of obvious stimuli. And in this second generation Kia Cerato, I certainly do not refuse!
