Kia cee'd II facelift

The top-end package features adaptive xenon, a panoramic roof with a sunroof, a rear exit assistance system, blind spot control and 17-inch alloy wheels.

For the KIA brand, the Ceed hatchback is an important link in the sales context, because the figure of 640,000 second-generation hatchbacks (2012-2018) means that the car is one of the best-selling in the Korean manufacturer's line. And this means that for the last – the third generation – two tasks were set: not to lose the already" won " customers and to get new ones.

Also, the car's configuration includes a fully diode light, heated and ventilated front seats and heated rear seats, wireless smartphone charging, a multimedia system with navigation and support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a JBL Premium audio system, front and rear parking sensors, and a rear-view camera.

Blue Oval has implemented this once successful global model in 122 countries around the world: one car every half minute and a million cars a year.
The model with hatchback, sedan and station wagon bodies was equipped exclusively with gasoline engines: atmospheric "fours" 1.6 (105-125 forces) and turbocharged 1.5 EcoBoost (150 forces). The naturally aspirated pair relied on a five-speed manual and a six-speed PowerShift robot, and the supercharged one was a six-band automatic.
The simplest of the five "Focus" configurations (Ambiente, Trend, Special Edition/Trend Plus, Black and White, Titanium) includes 16-inch steel wheels, electric mirrors, front power windows and a driver's seat elevator. The black-roofed white hatch and Black and White sedan versions have heated steering wheel and windshield, dual-zone climate control, rain and light sensors. And the top-end Titanium has a multimedia SYNC 3 with Bluetooth and voice control in Russian, Apple Carplay and Android Auto, LED running lights and taillights, engine start button and decorative interior lighting.

Internally, the design of the Ford Focus with the change of generation turned out to be less massive, and also more strict. If earlier the design of the front panel was dominated by wavy, "inflated" forms, now-no influx of plastic and rapid rolling lines.

Kia Cerato III facelift

The updated" third " Kia Cerato, also known by the Classic postscript to the name, so as not to confuse it with the new fourth generation sold in parallel, has the same trim levels as the cee'd except for the initial one.

Top-class-Premium with dual-zone climate control, heated leather multi-steering wheel and all seats, engine start button, parking sensors front and rear.

Hyundai Elantra VI (AD)

The model, which underwent a significant visual but minimal technical upgrade in 2019, is only available with two naturally aspirated petrol "fours": 1.6 (128 hp) and 2.0 (149 hp). Both of them have a machine gun, and the younger one in simple versions also has a mechanic. Both boxes are six-speed.

However, all of them will please with a good list of equipment. Even in the most affordable version with mechanics on a pre-reform car, you are guaranteed to have: air conditioning, electric drive and heated mirrors, as well as electric windows. In the second, an audio system with CD and Bluetooth is added, as well as heated front seats. The Active has dual-zone climate control, heated rear seats, rain sensor and parking sensors. In the top: LED running lights, leather seats, multimedia with a 5-inch screen, rear view camera, heated steering wheel, light sensor and front parking sensors.
