Test Drive Kia Cerato Koup since 2010

Kinocasting

About exemplary families do not shoot movies and do not write books. Boring them, not textured, some average. So there was an old KIA Cerato. With the new Cerato, a film bestseller is also not removed, but a festival short film and why not?
 
The current Cerato, having increased in dimensions (in a length of 30 mm, and in a width of 40 mm), radically changed his exterior. Yes, in Priscuar new headlights, someone will see the motifs of Honda Civic, and the front bumper will remind someone to Ford Focus. There is something in Korean and from Toyota Corolla and Mazda3. It is not necessary to surprise here, because these cars are the creators of their crews to competitors. Meanwhile, despite some visual similarity of Cerato with colleagues in the workshop, designers still succeeded as much as possible to the external appearance of the machine and reliably to overtake its Asian origin.
It is planned to supply Cerato exclusively with a 1.6 liter gasoline engine. Of these, 50% of cars will be with a 5-speed mechanical KP, another half with a 4-speed automaton. On the mechanics, overclocking up to 100 km / h will take 10.3 s. According to the subjective sensations, the car accelerates no slower with the machine. The declared maximum speed is 190 km / h. You can ride with this speed, however, not long. Circle of transmission and the roar of the motor will not allow the driver enough for a long time to mock the technique. The most comfortable speed for the machine and the driver is 110120 km / h. In the cabin quietly, calmly; Motor, not undergoing, worries within 3,5004,000 revolutions. There is also a supply of power to noticeable acceleration to complete overtaking.
Representatives of Kia emphasize that, they say, Cerato is a completely new car. However, no one hides the front suspension from the Kia More'D model. Just why instead of the independent multi-particle rear suspension more-d on Cerato installed two-way with a torsion beam? According to the official version for better manageability. Sorry, do not believe. Judging by the good configuration, a pretty high quality of the interior trim and an advanced exterior, KIA engineers had to make a compromise and for the sake of the end of the final product to agree on the installation of the rear suspension of a simpler design ...
As for the participation of KIA Cerato in the filming of the festival film, I do not know how successfully the car will fit into the landscape of European cities. But on the terracotta background of the African village in the suburbs of Marakesh, Korean looks very colorful. Although by 2010 they promise to put the KIA CERATO to the Russian market in the body of a coupe with a 2-liter engine can, better wait for it?

Black and gray tones in the interior decoration prevail. It and for the better. Classic is difficult to spoil

Due to the longer wheelbase, the space between the rear seat and the backs of the front armchairs expanded on 20 mm
