NAZA KIA introduces KIA Cerato KX

Naza Kia Malaysia has added a new variant of the Cerato to the range, the third new product to be launched this year after the Optima K5 and new Sportage. Priced at RM89,888 (Peninsular Malaysia), the new variant, known as the CeratoKx, is positioned as a more affordable offering.

“The CeratoKx caters to the practical needs of daily use based on the extensive features offered which, in turn, gives more value added to the new price range,” said Datuk Hafiz Syed Abu Bakar, COO of Naza Kia Malaysia. The CeratoKx has the same looks as the other Cerato variants, including Kia’s signature ‘Tiger Nose’ radiator grille with a geometric lattice pattern.



Projector halogen headlamps provide illumination at night with bright LEDs acting as day-running lights to make the car more visible to other motorists during the daytime. Additionally, there is a Smart Welcoming Light system using small lamps that automatically sense the Smart Key and illuminate the ground adjacent to the door, while pocket lights illuminate the door handle.

Though having a lower price, the CeratoKx still comes with some nice features such as the flex steer system, rearview camera, front and rear parking assist system, pushstart ignition, smart key and keyless entry, an 8-inch touchscreen LCD with audio GPS navigation and Bluetooth, and controls on the steering wheel.

Power is provided by Kia’s Gamma 1.6-litre MPI D-CVVT Engine which produces 130 ps/157 Nm that goes to the front wheels through a 6-speed automatic transmission with a conventional torque converter.

The Cerato accounts for 37% of Kia sales in Malaysia, with 1,784 units sold to date. The CeratoKx is expected to add another 200 units each month.

For a limited period, customers who book and register a CeratoKx will receive a petrol card with RM1,000 credit for fuel purchases. A full 5-year warranty is also provided which has no limit on mileage.
