EXTERIOR
A perfect balance fun and function
The enticing silhouette of the Cerato extends from its long hood, under which its power is generated, to the spacious cabin, where there is ample legroom and headroom thanks to the gentle sweep of the roofline. Every day, you will find new possibilities to explore in a sedan that is built to go beyond.
Built for motion stunning at rest
The Cerato has the best of both worlds—a sporty character grounded in a nimble suspension and responsive drivetrain, coupled with the allure of a spacious, welcoming interior. Aerodynamic contours draw the eye from front to back, while its daring stance signals that it's up for anything.

And how the tail lamps seamlessly blend with the rear trunk lid spoiler. Every line on the Cerato contributes to its winning personality.![Eye-catching from any angle]()

Gasoline engines feature dual continuously Variable Valve timing (D-CVVT) and electronic fuel injection. The GT turns up the excitement with a 204-hp turbocharged 1.6-liter GDI engine.

SAFETY
Phenomenal rigidity with smarter materials
The Cerato boasts substantial torsional rigidity thanks to strategic application of hot-stamped steel and Advanced High-Strength Steel. The body resists twisting forces, so jolts are absorbed with precision. In the event of a collision, impact forces are managed in ways that better protect the occupant space.
Safety
DRIVE WiSE recognizes surrounding risk factors at an early stage. Its intrinsic alarm system is designed to improve safety by pre-emptively reducing the risk of accidents through timely interventions.
Efficiency
DRIVE WiSE is dedicated to supporting more efficient driving in ways that respect the driver’s time and economic interests.
