My dashboardThe Cerato is Kia's popular small passenger car, available in both hatchback and sedan body styles.
It's known as the Forte in North America, and the K3 in the Korean domestic market.
The current fourth-generation model first launched in Australia in 2018, and received a mid-life refresh in 2021.
