One of Australia’s favourite small cars is getting a relatively small but consistent price increase, with the Kia Cerato now a few hundred dollars more expensive than before.
Kia Australia has raised prices for the Cerato by $300 for each variant, across both sedan and hatchback body styles, with the base ‘S’ grade now starting from $26,590.
A spokesperson for Kia Australia said there were no changes to the specifications of the Cerato, and that the price adjustment was made “in line with increases in business costs”.

Prices for each variant are consistent between body types, with S, Sport, Sport+, and GT grades all the same for each - including the additional ‘Safety Pack’ that can be added to the S and Sport grades for an extra $1000.
All grades aside from the GT retain Kia’s 2.0-litre four cylinder engine making 112kW and 192Nm, naturally aspirated and paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The GT still uses a turbocharged 1.6-litre unit making 150kW and 265Nm.
Since last year, the Cerato’s sales have dipped, with 4368 units sold in the first ten months of the year as opposed to the 11,558 in the same time last year.
