The second-generation Kia Cerato (TD) premiered in 2008 under Peter Schreyer's design direction, debuting Kia's signature Tiger Nose grille. The model range encompassed a 4-door sedan (4,530 mm long), a 5-door hatchback, and a sleek 2-door Cerato Koup. The wheelbase lengthened to 2,650 mm, yielding enhanced cabin accommodation. This generation of the Cerato (TD) was produced from 2008 to 2013 and offered in седан, хэтчбек, купе body styles. Built on an engineered platform, it features strong structural rigidity, refined aerodynamics, and advanced occupant safety engineering. The generous wheelbase and clever interior packaging ensure superior passenger accommodation and ergonomic comfort for long travel.

Power plants included 1.6-liter Gamma (126 hp) and 2.0-liter Theta II (156 hp) petrol engines. In 2010, an update introduced 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions to replace older gearboxes, alongside paddle shifters, push-button start, and revised HVAC controls. The powertrain lineup features modern engines optimized for thermal efficiency, balancing responsive acceleration with economical fuel consumption. Power is delivered through reliable manual or automatic transmissions. Mid-cycle updates introduced modernized LED lighting graphics, premium cabin materials, and enhanced active driver assistance suites.
