Kia Australia has made the most of today's Australian International Motor Show, launching the new 2011 Kia Cerato Five-Door Hatchback. It joins the sedan and Koup versions of Kia's stylish and capable small car contender.

According to Kia Australia's Chief Operating Officer Tony Barlow, the five-door Hatchback is mostly likely to appeal to buyers with young families looking for the enhanced practicality and storage of a hatch.

"The availability of this third body style for our small passenger segment category will enable Kia dealers to meet the needs of a broader range of customers. This derivative will boost total Cerato sales to an even higher level across all Australian states," Mr Barlow said.

More importantly for Kia, the five-door Cerato marks the continuation of the company's local ride and handling development work, being carried out specifically for the unique Australian market.

"[The development started with] the Sportage earlier this year and is another step in what will be an ongoing program of launching new vehicles in Australia which are locally adapted to suit Australian driver's discerning tastes," Mr Barlow said.
