The Cerato Koup is a two-door model that stands
apart from its sister sedan thanks to its dynamic
and sporty looks, optimal size befitting a coupé
body style, top-notch engine performance and
safety, and numerous cutting-edge convenience
features. A sense of beauty and speed come
together based on the concept of ‘simplicity of the
straight line’.
The Cerato is a next-generation compact sedan
with diverse cutting-edge features complementing
its sophisticated and dynamic design. Redefining
the very best in automobile design, its bold,
coupé-like proportions and eye catching lines and
curves exude brisk acceleration and effortless
fluidity of motion. Along with its beautiful exterior

Inspired by the harsh beauty of the desert, the
Mohave has the power to tame nature’s furies.
Designed in our labs and tested in the wild, the
Mohave is a full-size SUV for drivers who refuse
to stay within the lines. We invite you to push its
capabilities to the limit and see why the Mohave
has truly earned its name.
The Venga is designed exclusively for the
European market. We began with the observation
that other companies’ MPVs sacrificed too much
style with their singular focus on functionality. We
applied Kia’s signature grille to the front profile,
expanded the window coverage and carved out a
panoramic sunroof to flood the cabin with natural
light. The result is a new-concept city styled MPV
that showcases the innovation and inspiration
driving Kia’s success.
The moment you take the wheel of the Picanto
your eyes will widen and your pulse will quicken.
From sassy styling to comfort and safety features,
Kia has thought of everything. Picanto is an
eye-catcher – a well-dressed, sporty ride that
perfectly balances cutting-edge design, technical
innovation and the pure, simple joy of driving.
We take extra care with each revision of the Soul
because it defines what we have achieved as a
design-centered company. The latest Soul features
the addition of ambient touches to its signature
look and luxurious convenience features, such
two-tone exterior color schemes and ventilated
front seats, to expand Soul’s commercial appeal.
