Kia has recently added two new specification grades to its 2017 Sportage and Cerato line-ups, the 2017 Sportage Si Premium and the 2017 Cerato Sport.
Firstly, the 2017 Sportage Si Premium enters the petrol line-up at a competitive $30,990 plus on-roads.
Featuring 18-inch alloy wheels, 7-inch satellite navigation system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Auto Climate Control with a clean air module, LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL), front parking sensors, auto defog, rain sensing front wipers, passenger anti-jam safety power window, electrochromic rearview mirror and illuminated vanity mirrors, the Sportage Si Premium has a lot to offer.
Mineral Silver, Fiery Red and Sparkling Silver are the new premium colours available if Clear White is not your colour of choice.
The new 2017 Cerato Sport effectively replaces the S Premium variant, sitting between the S automatic AV pack and Si automatic offerings.
A leather-like steering wheel and shift lever trim, chrome interior door handles, soft-touch interior upper door trim, 7-inch colour touch screen with satellite navigation and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity are featured on the Cerato Sport interior.
On the outside, inclusions such as a rear spoiler for the sedan, aero blade wipers and exclusive Sport badging are complemented by 17-inch alloy wheels with a full-size alloy spare.
Clear White will be the standard exterior colour with buyers having the option of three new premium colours, Silky Silver, Snow White Pearl and Metal Stream.
The Cerato Sport will be available from $22,450 drive away.
