Wow, huge price different there. current Cerato is CKD?

Any idea which engine?

too bad, no need wait already i guessed ...

Expect to get 2 variant - 1.6L MPi engine as well as 1.6L GDi Turbo engine.

Yes current model CKD, still available at very good value.

Hi All K3 owner, saw in mudah.my got one shop sell Kia Cerato for RM64k that still under warranty. Planning to dump 10k for downpayment.

Seeking for advice, is it worth to own Kia Cerato for long term or just go with honda city like mainstream malaysian people?

I suppose 1.6L MPi will be much cheaper

Is fuel consumption an issue to you? Cerato is definitely more comfortable and fun to drive since it is C segment car..but city is more fuel saving tho..
Both cars also quite mainstream la for me..Just that the amount of City otr is much more than Cerato

If you are going for specs and max enjoyment of the car for the money you pay for, Cerato is the answer. Of course, branding wise, Honda is perceived to be better , at least in our Malaysian market. Cerato is C segment car, the likes of Altis, and Civic, whereas Honda City is more of a B-segment sedan with smaller dimensions both interior and exterior.

I have a city 2015 drove 95k mileage and cerato 8k mileage
City fuel consumption 420km per tank 90% city drive
Cerato 1.6 420km per tank too
Handling city not good as cerato
Sound proof city is damn bad,cerato is better a bit only
Sound system cerato is better a lot !
Power city is better ,cerato feeling heavy .

That what I persona feeling.
In the end I prefer cerato if got the same budget.

Hi Everyone, I had my car got hit by someone in highway last weekend . Any recommended authorize workshop in JB which can do Bumper ?

Police report made , and will claim that person's insurance.

Normally outside "maggat" workshop get the bumper from Kia?

If you are claiming insurance, best to go to an authorized Kia Service center, because the cost will be borne by the insurance company. Do make sure that the police report verdict is in your favour, otherwise, it is not possible to "claim" the other party's insurance. In most cases, the workshop will claim against your insurance first, and later, your insurance company will claim against that of the other party. That way, you won't loose your NCB.

when kia cerator started its CKD ?

The first batch of about 500 units of Kia Cerato back in 2013 were all CBU. After that, they are all CKD /SKD basis.

How much are you letting it go bro?

Hello fellow K3 owners. Been looking at K3 for some time and probably planning to get a used 1.6 (2014-2015) with a budget around 40-45k.

Just wondering if this car is as reliable until today? And how about the fuel consumption btw? Cause one of my friends is driving a K5, though it's 2.0 but he said that it can go around 700-800km for a mixture of both highway and city drive (70% highway) So I'm hoping that this car can go around at least 500km+ with a full tank as it'll be mostly driven around city.

Kia Cerato 1.6 received the PEOPLES' CHOICE AWARD 2019 by Carlist



Not surprising with its fully loaded features such as :
* memory seat
* electronic power driver seat
* rear Aircon vents
* paddle shift
* welcome lights
* touch screen head unit
* drive mode
* auto and smart boot
* many more...

This is my take, the Cerato strenght is not so much on fuel economy as it is a heavier car compared to other B segment 1.5 liter models on the market. However, Cerato prides itself in the many safety features and high tensile steel strenght of its body and reliability.

Having said that, Cerato is not a fuel guzzler but at 1.6 Liter and with 130 ps @ 6000 rpm power and 157 Nm torque, the fuel consumption is reasonable and within expectation of any cars in this class and engine cc.
