Kia Cerato Koup

Agreed on the prices.

//ignore the VWDUB fanboy - not you QT.
 
The biggest problem with this is not the looks or performance, but the price. The attraction with the previous Koup was that it offered a great looking and highly specced car, with adequate performance, at a very affordable price. If the new one cracks R300k, that will no longer be the case...
 
Has Kia Motors Pulled The Plug On the Cerato Koup?

A new report out of the United States suggests that Kia Motors has pulled the plug on the Cerato Koup thanks to weak demand.

Known as the Forte Koup in the US, the two-door model has seemingly become a victim of low demand for small vehicles.

“To better align with our customers’ purchasing trends, Kia Motors America will discontinue the two-door Koup following the sell-down of remaining 2016 model year inventory,” spokesperson James Hope told CarsDirect.

So, does this move apply to the global line-up, or just the US market? We’ve reached out to Kia Motors South Africa for clarity on the issue, and will update this story once we hear back.

Locally, the Cerato Koup is offered with a 152 kW/265 N.m 1,6-litre turbocharged petrol engine, mated to either a six-speed manual (R390 995) or a six-speed automatic (R403 995) transmission.

Truer words were spoken, Kia went from reasonably priced to what every other OEM charges.
