Cerato hatch

KIA aimed to take on all comers in the Australian small-car market with the arrival of the hatchback version of its Cerato, which also marked the debut of new six-speed auto and manual transmissions.The new six-speed automatic also had a manual mode, which could be operated by the gear lever (or steering-mounted paddle shifters in the upper-spec SLi).The Cerato Hatchback’s engine remained the 2.0-litre Theta II four-cylinder petrol of its sedan and Koup brethren, with 115kW of power at 6200rpm and 194Nm of torque at 4300rpm, providing the manual hatch with acceleration from zero to 100km/h in 9.1 seconds and a top speed of 190km/h.Fuel consumption figures for the combined cycle were 7.5L/100km and 7.7L/100km for manual and auto respectively, with the corresponding CO2 output at 179g/km and 183g/km.Both models featured Bluetooth, keyless entry, cruise control, steering-mounted controls for cruise and audio, six speakers, iPod/USB compatibility, power windows and doors, air conditioning, mirror-mounted side repeaters, 60-40 split rear seat and a full-size spare wheel.The Si rode on 15-inch steel wheels while the SLi received 17-inch alloy wheels.Safety features included front, front side and curtain airbags, ABS brakes and stability control.Aside from the paddle shifter available in the automatic version, the SLi added suede-look cloth seat material with red stitching (or optional leather), leather-look gearshift surround, chrome edge trim around the twin cup holders, a unique centre console, unique rear splitter with a cut-out for the exhaust tip and rear parking sensors.The Cerato five-door was offered in a choice of nine: Clear White, Ebony Black, Spicy Red and Racing Red, Metal Bronze, Bright Silver, Titanium Silver, Santorini Blue and Sweet Orange.

Kia 2010 Sportage

The new-generation Sportage shares its platform with the Tucson-replacing ix35 from sibling brand Hyundai. Design cues from the Kia Sorento, such as the roofline and windshield rake, are evident. The new Sportage will likely include a 2.0-litre petrol powerplant with 123 kW from the ix35, as well as a 2.0-litre R-series diesel with 135kW.

Kia 2010 Sorento

Kia is expected to add a new 200kW 3.5 litre V6 to its recently released new-generation Sorento, launched in Australia in late 2009. This will bring the number of powertrains to three, starting with the 128kW/225Nm 2.4 lite four cylinder, to the powerful, yet economical 145kW/436Nm 2.2 litre diesel range.
