PERFORMANCE
Daily performance powered by ingenuity
Rely on responsive performance from a lively 1.6-liter gasoline engine, features dual continuously Variable Valve timing (D-CVVT) and electronic fuel injection.
SAFETY
Phenomenal rigidity with smarter materials
The Cerato K3 boasts substantial torsional rigidity thanks to strategic application of hot-stamped steel and Advanced High-Strength Steel. The body resists twisting forces, so jolts are absorbed with precision. In the event of a collision, impact forces are managed in ways that better protect the occupant space.
Safety
DRIVE WiSE recognizes surrounding risk factors at an early stage. Its intrinsic alarm system is designed to improve safety by pre-emptively reducing the risk of accidents through timely interventions.
