Downsizing to a small car with Kia

November 2011

Bigger isn't always better when it comes to modern cars - advancements in technology and manufacturing has seen small cars receive the same features as their larger counterparts at a fraction of the cost.

While the environmental impact of cars has also become a concern for today's buyers, models of a smaller size have the ability to deliver higher fuel efficiency and reduced carbon emissions.

The practicality of a compact car is also vital to those driving in city centres where lanes are tight - and so are the parking spots.

The current range of Kia models offers a variety of small cars to choose from, with the Kia Cerato and Kia Soul gaining popularity amongst Australian drivers.

The 5-door Kia Cerato boasts Australia's best value 2.0 litre sedan and offers families the latest in safety technology - from airbags to ESC traction control - without compromising on creature comforts such as cruise control, iPod and Bluetooth connectivity and steering wheel mounted controls.

For the individual driver looking for a car as unique as they are, the Kia Soul features six distinct colour choices and a range of customisable options, as well as remote keyless entry and 5 star ANCAP safety rating.
