  • A compact car

    I have never been a fan of Kia but after driving the Cerato I can’t stop admiring this car. After having a bad experience with one of Kia’s cars four years back I had promised I would never ever buy any other vehicle from this brand. However, Cerato has completely changed my opinion about the brand. Design-wise it’s a bit like a wagon and a bit like an SUV so you get a combination of both these variants. It also drinks less fuel than many of its competitors in its segment. The ride quality is good and the comfort level offered by the cabin is inexpressible in words.

    Driving the KIA Picanto makes life in the city really easy and comfortable for everyday commuting. Its compact size is way easy to spot at busy malls and office areas. It looks small but inside feels roomy enough for my little family and occasional road trips with friends. I like the engine, which is punchy for daily errands and very light on petrol. Air conditioning cools the cabin fast, which is a must on hot UAE afternoons. Picanto may look simple, but the controls are easy, and owning this car is just stress-free. It’s perfect for navigating traffic and short errands, especially for those who want practicality above all.
