Kia Cars
Kia has been making a name for itself in the Australian market over the past few years, thanks to their affordable prices, excellent build quality, and comprehensive warranties. The company offers a wide range of models to suit different needs and budgets, from compact cars to family SUVs.
One of Kia's most popular models is the Kia Cerato, which competes in the crowded small car segment. It's available as a sedan or hatchback and comes with a choice of two engines - a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine or a turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. Both engines are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
The Cerato is well-equipped for its price range and comes with features like autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, rear-view camera, rear parking sensors and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility. Higher trims come with additional features like leather upholstery, sunroof, and premium sound system.
For those looking for something bigger than the Cerato but still want an affordable car that can handle Australian driving conditions, the Kia Sportage could be an excellent option. This medium-sized SUV is available with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive and comes equipped with either a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine or 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine depending on trim levels.
Standard features on the Sportage include autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist system, front and rear parking sensors while higher trims come equipped with more advanced safety features like blind spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert system.
All in all, Kia offers reliable vehicles that come well-equipped at an affordable price point making it popular amongst first-time car buyers or someone who’s upgrading from their current ride to something larger but budget-friendly enough for everyday driving around Australia.
