Test drive Kia Cerato Koup since 2010 compartment

Global averaging

Would you be able to eat with one rave for a long time? Or play only chips but without a table? So the goal of global models is not to surprise with highlights or chips. And just like and be comfortable. Kia Cerato is just one of them. The second generation of Kia Cerato, which has already appeared, is one of the world bestsellers of the Korean brand. Unlike European Ceed, this model belongs to global. And in such cases, the designers and designers have a difficult task: to find solutions that satisfy the tastes and requests of customers in various regions of the planet. Belonging to a variety of automobile cultures. So Cerato can be called a citizen of the world. And you will not find some pronounced motives here. In a smooth appearance, there is both Asian roundness and a fashionable roof line in Europe a la coupes, and American notes are noticeable in the interior. The appearance is calm and balanced. Outside, family signs of KIA, and high -tech optics (bixenon headlights with LED running lights in front, LED lamps from the back) hints that the filling of the car is quite modern. There are no more visual declarations and especially design provocations and cannot be. The second generation of Cerato has become a little longer, a little lower, the wheelbase has grown, and the overhangs became shorter. A reconciling idea of \u200b\u200ba soft wave dominates the interior. But the tastes of the American and Asian markets were still outweighed here. Europeans would not make such tides on the upper part of the front panel above the glove box. And the Americans, and even more so Asians, will appreciate it. And the carbon insert in the center by European standards looks too pretentious for a family car. But, for example, the same Japanese decorate their models for the United States in a similar style. In all other respects, the salon is not catchy, faithful to conservative values. What can not be said about the equipment. There is almost everything that can be assumed in a car of this class! In the most expensive versions and seats with electroregulations and memory, and heating all seats, and a heated zone of rest of the wipers. Touchskrin, USB, AUX, Bluetooth interfaces using metallized coatings and skin. At the modern level and security systems: from stabilization and a break of the assistant to help at the start on the rise. Of the pleasant little things, a more developed parking system system (two sensors in the front bumper were added) and the rear view camera. There are no problems with the place in the front row of problems at all! It has become more spacious and in length (especially since it is more comfortable for the driver to get a good range of steering adjustments), and in width. But behind the restriction is in height! The reserve of space over the head of passengers fell victim to the modern low line of the roof, and if your height is better than 190 cm there is better not to strive there. Under the hood, two options for gasoline engines are provided. A 1.6-liter 130-horsepower Gamma family and a two-liter new NU family (150 forces). The difference in power is small, but the character of the machine is changing. The junior engine has a measured driving rather, the two -liter sometimes provokes to step aside. The more powerful version also provides for the control of a 6-speed automatic using steering wheel petals. But the pleasure of active drive is not an end in itself for Cheratto. This is partly hinting at the AC system on the steering wheel of Flex Steer. Management is as simple as possible: the button is in direct accessibility on a very refined steering wheel. That's just three modes give exactly three different efforts. And the transparency of the steering does not change, and a very clear zero is present in all three states. It seemed that the control of Cerato consists precisely in this deviation from zero, since the exchange rate stability of the car is really on top. By the way, like noise insulation! At first glance, the new Kia Cerato leaves ambiguous sensations. Everything is very good, but there is no highlight. But all sorts of highlights are very individual. To whom give more drive, to whom the places, to whom equipment. And the world citizen must be diplomatic, be able to find a common language anywhere on the planet! It is much more important for the success of the global model a guaranteed set of qualities, confidence in behavior, the lack of obvious stimuli. And in this second generation Kia Cerato certainly cannot be refused!
