2011 Kia Cerato Five-Door Hatch Unveiled

KIA HAS THIS week unveiled a new five-door hatch version of the Cerato, currently available in Australia in both sedan and Koup form.

Overseas, the five-door variant of the Cerato (sold in the US as the Forte) will be powered by the same 2.0 litre and 2.4 litre petrol engines offered with the existing Forte pair. In Australia, the sedan and Koup are offered with the 2.0 litre engine only.The two petrol engines are paired with new six-speed manual and automatic transmissions.

In the US, the Forte five-door features lower suspension, with paddle shifters, push-button start and satellite navigation figuring among its options. A subtly restyled front grille features up front, along with a lower valence design.

The five-door Cerato is scheduled to be introduced in Australia in October, and further details and pricing will be revealed closer to its local launch.
