PRODUCT CONCEPT
The all-new KIA Cerato has been re-created from the ground up. KIA’s designers and engineers focused on four key concepts
while developing the Cerato: innovative style, driving pleasure, product value and new technology. In particular, styled under
the direction of KIA’s Chief Design Officer, Peter Schreyer, the all-new Cerato embodies KIA’s new design philosophy in its
most complete form so far. The all-new Cerato is a simple corporate statement to the motoring world that KIA is a brand
underpinned by quality and reliability. |
