The Kia Cerato is a charming alternative to the typical C-segment sedans offerings from Honda, Toyota or Nissan. Spanning just three generations (if we include the Kia Forte), the Cerato is a relative newcomer to the sedan segment here but with an emphasis on design, premium features, and safety, it has managed to somewhat carve out a niche for buyers who wish to buck the trend with their purchases.

Ahead of its full reveal tomorrow, Kia has taken the covers off the updated 2021 Kia K3 (Cerato/Forte). Aiming to sway prospective customers away from the Hyundai Elantra, the facelifted car sports a more streamlined design all-around. Slim LED headlights flank Kia's now-thinner signature 'Tiger Nose' grille, now appended with chrome detailing. The front end tweaks - bookended by a redesigned, sharper lower half - makes the car reminiscent of its bigger Kia K5 (Optima) sibling. It also gets a re
