In this blog entry, I'm blogging about my visit to Kia Roadshow in 1 Utama Highstreet featuring the newly launched Kia Cerato. The Kia Cerato's priced at RM99,888 and RM118,888 for Cerato 1.6 Gamma II D-CVVT and Cerato 2.0 Nu D-CVVT Respectively. Both is mated with 6 speed Automatic gearbox with torque converter.
I shall now Compare the Difference of Kia Cerato and Hyundai Elantra MD (Kia Cerato 1.6 vs Hyundai Elantra 1.6).
The 1.6 Gamma II 1.6MPI D-CVVT Engine and 6 speed Automatic Gearbox's IDENTICAL to it's Sister, Hyundai Elantra MD while the 2.0 Nu engine and Gearbox's Identical to Hyundai YF Sonata 2.0 Nu. But the KIT Count for both 1.6 and 2.0's MIND BLOWING!

BUT AND A BIG BUT: THE MASSIVE Price Jump from Naza Forte. RM14,000 Higher for 1.6 and WHOOPING RM20,000 Higher for 2.0. This for me is a bitter pill to swallow. The Size and Dimension's just marginally bigger than Naza Forte but LOOK AT THE PRICE...
