The 2008 Kia Cerato with five doors (known as Spectra 5 in
many markets) ranked number one in U.S. News & World Report’s
2008 Best Cars & Truck ranking released in December has
declared. Of the 12 vehicles in the “Affordable Compact
Wagons” Category, the Spectra 5 scored a Very Good”
overall rating of 8.3 to top the list, which included wagons
and hatchbacks generally priced below $25,000. Kia is marketed
in Nigeria by Dana Motors.
“Cerato’s top ranking proves that style and substance
do not have to be compromised when combined with safety, value
and quality,” said Len Hunt, president and CEO of Kia
Motors America. “This is a great distinction for the
Cerato in what is known to be a tough, competitive segment,
and rounds out an awards-laden year for Kia’s full line
of vehicles”.
The Cerato line of vehicles has been Kia’s top selling
model in 2007 with 167,790 units sold globally, including
Nigeria, through the month of November, 2007.
