Date: 2014-02-14

Ever dreamt of a car that boasts youthful exuberance with dynamic performance and a class-leading level of high-tech features? Well that dream is now a reality... if you wake up to the all-new Cerato Koup from KIA, that is. Sleek and sporty, this remarkable performer touches the core of individuality through its driver, which explains why it is not only the flagship model in the Cerato range but looks set to shake up the entire coupé segment.

Bold and athletic front styling cues create an aggressive, sporty stance, while the sleek and dynamic side and rear views embody a poised and powerful profile. The balance is the thrill. Get ready to explore your limits.

Get a good glimpse: A large 4.3" TFT LCD centre facia display is angled towards the driver and provides enhanced visibility and touch screen capability to control the high-end MP3 and USB compatible audio system.

Be informed: At the centre of attention is a sporty, 3-gauge cluster with a 4.2" full-colour TFT-LCD screen. The intuitive layout and operation of all controls ensure that you can focus on the heart of the matter - the thrill of the road ahead.

Now, take control: The multi-function steering wheel allows you to control the audio system, and has built-in Bluetooth and Cruise Control functionality.

1.6 Turbo GDi engine: Our engineers have gone the extra mile to ensure an exhilarating drive with stable handling and dynamic steering characteristics. The Koup's finely tuned suspension works in conjunction with the intelligent vehicle stability technologies to provide a sophisticated ride with sporty responsiveness.

6-speed manual or automatic transmission: Designed for smooth and effortless gearshifts

Full frontal: A compact, lightweight MacPherson strut setup delivers nimble handling and a smooth ride.

Paddle shifters (auto only): Normally found only on premium sports cars, paddle shifters on the steering wheel allow for quick gear changes to suit a sporty driving style.

Auto cruise-control: With the press of a switch conveniently located on the steering wheel, auto cruise-control lets you maintain a constant speed and results in improved fuel economy.

Hold on: A coupled torsion beam axle provides maximum road holding capability for enhanced cornering stability while the space-saving setup frees up room for a larger boot area.

Stay on the road: VSM helps ensure your car stays stable when simultaneously braking and cornering or during rapid acceleration - especially on wet and slippery roads.

Keep your composure: Electronic Stability Control reduces skidding to help maintain control in the event you have to brake or swerve suddenly.

ISOFIX child seat anchors: ISOFIX child seat anchors ensure enhanced safety for the little ones in the event of a collision.

Rigid body shell: Greater torsional rigidity than the previous generation, featuring a collision dispersal structure that diffuses force upon impact.

Get a grip: By maintaining braking grip until you push the accelerator, HAC prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards when pulling away from a standstill on an incline.

Rear-view camera display: The 4.3" colour touchscreen display shows images from the rear-view camera when backing up for enhanced safety and convenience while parking.
