New cerato looks nicer than the elantra, the interior offers a more premium finish

I am impressed

Kia hitting Euro standards now.

[noshownogo]

look at buttons on the steering wheel, looks like cruise control, bluetooth, stereo and more!

Materials looking good as well.

[Habit7]

Although in person, the front looks like a Civic and the rear like a Focus, but what else can we expect, it is Korean.

And behind it as well !!! Paddle shifters FTW

Hold on.... is that Nexen tyres I seeing from the factory there on the Cerato?

[noshownogo]

I like the chrome strip running from the A to C pillar as well on the Cerato

wah wrong wid korean tyres on a korean car??

[dredman1]

I'm sure you know Nexen aren't one of the better performing tyre brands. Would have much preferred if they came with the better Korean brands like Kumho or Hankooks instead.

See what i did there....

[Adjudicator]

The tyre thing is random as far as I can tell based on the batch. My cerato (2009) came with hankook, some came with kuhmo and some of the sportages came with nexen.
Also you do realize there are basic and premium editions in all brands of tyre.

After buying an over priced car and having to swap the OEM zigla rims u want d man buy tires too?

I realise, but Kia and Hyundai are basically on par with each other. They share many of the same parts - basically cosmetic differences. Hankook and Kumho have both made their name in many racing series. Haven't seen that from Nexen yet...

As mentioned above, after buying a new car from the dealer you have to think about changing the tyres on it?

But if it's a "premium" Nexen as Adjudicator says it could be, then I guess its all good (meen familiar with any Nexen premium models). Should list these premium Nexens in the "Tyres" thread in the Tech section so we could check them out as a viable alternative.

Anyway, it was just an observation - not a deal breaker. First car from the factory I see coming with Nexens. But carry on

Kia has been equipping the Optima in the USA with Nexen tyres. I would assume that Kia would ensure that it puts properly engineered tyres on its cars that are being sold in the litigious happy USA.

[dredman1]

True - now realising that they come on the US models (see page 5 of the link below). So we'll see how they perform on the car here, but it doesn't look like they helped the Optima in that comparison test.

Any other car brands coming with Nexens?

[acesinghit]

Going from an A33 cheap quality Nissan with a cracked up dashboard to a new high quality well designed Hyundai Elantra and you are ? And going back to a used up low quality no warranty (6 months? Ha!) butt ugly Nissan Teana is an option that you are considering?

Backwards (Nissan) NEVER! Forwards (Hyundai) FOREVER!

[Damien]

Hyundai really so good ? Could you get a 100k kms on a Hyundai problem free?

How serious are you about this post?

[drchaos]

You can get 100,000 k's on any brand of vehicle problem free. Its just some brands you have a higher statistical probability getting it.

I know someone with the last model elantra 80,000 k's problem free. Lets hope her other 20,000 k does her well.
