In 2004 released a car like “Kia-Serato”. The technical characteristics of this car – the theme special. Premiere of this car was truly welcome, and I must say, this model is really good. She lived up to her expectations and has become one of the most purchased and popular South Korean cars not only in the country but also abroad.

Kia Serato specifications

In Brief about the model

So, the first thing I would like to say a few words about the car. It's the machine that first appeared in versions of the sedan and then – hatchback. Only after that began to produce “Kia-Serato" coupe. In the development of this model invested amount of EUR 220 million. I must say it is quite modest funds to date, however, despite this, the car was really good and high quality.

This machine is a popular class “C”, which was constructed on the same base together with the popular Hyundai Elantra. The only novelty was the higher and wider. Due to such dimensions, the car gained respectability and began to look very presentable.

Appearance

Before we talk about what “Kia-Serato” specifications, you should discuss its design. It is very original, and the image of the car brand can trace the family traits. The exterior is an understated, rather simple style, no excess or frills – all strictly and tasteful. Classic style in one word. But in all, this simple appearance is the highlight, which seems to dilute the restraint. And this elegant, sophisticated optics, which looks very impressive. Headlight is designed in an irregular shape that is not typical for design "Kia". And the image of the complement of the front protruding wheel arches. Looks quite original and unusual. Designers have worked over the trunk, making it smaller in appearance. And finally, another item – a broad, strongly inclined forward C-pillar. All this gives the image a certain dynamism, even of sportiness. In General, a good car was “Kia-Serato”. Photo us demonstrates.

Interior

Appearance – that is certainly important. "Kia-Serato”, a photo that shows us a refined Executive car that is not only beautiful in appearance, but still looks good from the inside. The designers really did a good job on the quality finish of the interior. Very comfortable and spacious salon is equipped with absolutely everything that you may need a driver. Well, the first thing the eye catches the front panel: two-color, solid – to manage such a pleasure. Yes, it looks very interesting, despite the fact that the material is quite simple. Anyway, all this interior customized and assembled on conscience, one might even say, perfect.

More individual attention want to note the trunk. Quite large – 345 liters. Under the floor there is a full-size spare tire on top of which you can easily place any large cargo. Of course, the goods in the case of moving to a new place this car is not a helper, but here are a couple of bags for the long trip fit easily.

“Kia-Serato": specifications

Under the hood of this car there can be several engine types. There are four options. Two of them petrol and so much diesel. So, the first – 1.6-liter 106-horsepower. A good petrol engine, but it is better 2-liter that produces 143 horsepower. Of course, it has the VVT system which is adjusting the phase distribution of gas.

Diesel engines are a little weaker. This engine with a common-rail system. One volume in a half liter (102 HP), the other – two (113 HP). Interestingly, diesel engines like the VVT system, passenger car production "Kia" first appeared on this model, but not for nothing. It VVT increased engine efficiency and reduced harmful emissions.

All of these engines are available with 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission.

Handling

Speaking of “Kia-Serato”, specifications of this car and its exterior with the interior, I must also mention the attention such an important aspect like handling. It is very important to know when choosing a car. Well, the car “Kia-Serato" tests passed with dignity. Ride quality is decent, the bumps are smoothed out in the turns the car is good. Of course, the later version features much better and, consequently, on the road the car shows itself very differently. But even models a decade ago good.

In General, it's a great car for the city. The list of options is satisfactory: on-Board computer, power Windows, electric, climate control, airbags, heated mirrors, a leather-trimmed interior, TCS, BAS, etc. - has everything you need and nothing more. Perhaps that is what this car and appreciated among fans of a comfortable ride.
