A 1.6 L turbo petrol four making 150 kW and 265 Nm, paired with a seven-speed DCT, driving the front wheels. The GT spec adds leather sport seats, the larger touchscreen, and the upgraded driver assistance pack.

Cartell Assessment

The Cerato GT Sedan is the cheaper, smaller alternative to the Hyundai Sonata N Line. It is properly quick for the money, and the Kia warranty is the longest in the segment.
