almost identical to the sedan Kia Rio, this should be Stateside-bound next year. Is this bigger than the pint-sized Picanto (cuz we don't have the Picanto here)?
engine. 1.7L I-4 110hp

Looks nice, I like the hatchback hehehe, looks bigger that the picanto. They should bring it here to compete against the City/Vios, with is larger displacement engine it should sell if the price is right. IMO Picanto is just too cramped and is only suited for city driving.
cute nga po un un hatch.. tska ganda den kasi 4doors..(ai 5 pala..) cute,,
pero po baka OT eto (sorry po..)
..diba po pg sinabi po KIA diba po un iba mura lng naman,, eh,, kng brand new po mura den ba?
yan yung cerato dito sa korea, maganda nga yan dami na dito sa kalye yan. saka hindi po maliit yan, kasing laki ng civic yan. a friend of mine is considering buying one, medyo turn off lang siya sa pangalan na cerato - parang cirain to![]()

kia rio.......- 94.90- 166.9- 66.1- 56.7
kia spectra- 102.8- 176.4- 68.3- 57.9
honda civic- 103.1- 175.4- 67.5- 56.7
imho ung poor sales ng rio dito in the past years could be attributed to the styling or kia's image problem. this baby solves the first issue imho
At first glance, looks like a Chevy Optra.Originally Posted by cyberdoc95

hehehe dapat palitan ang name nyan kapag binenta nila sa pinas....
example:
customer: maganda kaya yang kotse na yan (sabay turo)?
salesman: ahh yan ba sir? ito ang bagong kotse ng Kia, Cerato....
hehehe parang masagwang pakinggan....
Customer: Sira pala bakit binebenta pa?Originally Posted by 5Speed

Parang Ford Nova, hindi mabenta sa Spanish speaking country kasi "won't go" pala ang meaning. Urban leagend lang ata![]()
Nakakalito na mga pangalan. Cerato, Nova, etc. what will they come up next? "Sarapto"?
:-) ... even if they say it like an italian "che' rah to" ... laglag pa din
