Detailed review and test of the 2023 Kia Cerato GT, including performance, ride quality, handling, price and features.
The Kia Cerato GT gives you 150kW of turbocharged power for less than $40K driveaway. So, what’s the catch with this semi-hot hatch?

Got one of these towards the end of covid as I wasnt driving as much and wanted a small sedan. Swapped the springs out for Ebaichs – ride is way better and still excellent bang for buck.
Embarrasing that he doesn't know the difference between the N and the N-Line.
There were under 30 gramd a few years ago
Proces are getting insane and with interest rates how they are now as well
To much road noise and way to high on the cost for all quality issues. I'm glad I went with the slower but much higher quality built Subaru Impreza.
i would take it over an i30 N line everyday of the week only thing i would do is make the red ring in the center of the wheels go away they are so tacky
fake center locks are pathetic no matter what car they are on
I’ve had mine since 8/23. Overall I’m happy with the car especially on the open road. Although I have to use the 95 juice to get the urban figure on rural I get mid 5s regularly. Overall I would rate it 8.7/10. 😊
I'm not sure why Kia and Hyundai has 10,000km service intervals for their turbocharged petrol models so I'll continue to pass on their products until service intervals are 15,000km
The women will like this car.
I believe the engine on these is a direct injection engine, which can have issues with carbon build-up in the longer term.
We have the pre face lift model and apart from the horrible ride it's awesome.. I have no idea how KIA engineers could all agree on that suspension tune as it's really really bad.
Can someone give me an answer to this question ?? Hyundai i30n line has the same engine transmission yet does not accelerate like the Kia and the Hyundai also has a terrible jerky and hesitant off the mark transmission. It feels like the Kia has a totally different engine gearbox which is way ahead of the Hyundai
This is a direct competitor to the Hyundai i30 hatch/sedan N-Line. Not the N.
I've been driving a 'warm' car for 6 years now. Elantra SR, also with MPS4 tyres. It's been a lot of fun, and puts a smile on my face. It's also arguably more than enough power for a daily road car. Recently I've been wanting to graduate from a smile to a grin, so I ordered a 24' i30 Sedan N. I'm looking forward to experiencing the performance differences. Also, props to Kia for continuing the flat bottom steering wheel.

You mean the N-Line?
Remember it's also built at a price, you add all those things you suggest will up the price. Then will people be able to afford it
We chose between this, and the Mazda 3 G25 Astina last year.
Pros –
The Cerato GT is in another league power-wise – that engine is a bit of a velvet sledgehammer.
The transmission is a really good match to the car.
Its value-for-money equation is pretty much unmatched – and the ventilated seats are great.
It's pretty spacious for a small car.
Cons –
The ride. It is so, so jarring and bordering on crashy for regular use, and for not a lot of gain compared to the 3.
The interior… look, it's reasonably good, but it can't compete with the opulence and flair of the 3.
No manual option (I got in before Mazda stopped selling the manual).
The piped-in stereo fake-engine noise is just way too boy-racer for a grown adult man 🙂
We went for the Mazda in the finish. I'd love the Kia's power in the Mazda, but no dice.
If you have the money, the i30 sedan would be a good point of comparison.
