The KIA Forte Cerato, produced from 2009 to 2012, marked a significant step forward for the Korean automaker, establishing itself as a strong contender in the compact sedan segment. This generation of the Forte, known as the "YD" model, was a major departure from its predecessor, boasting a more modern and stylish design, improved interior amenities, and a refined driving experience. The Forte Cerato was offered with a range of powertrain options, including a 1.6L and a 2.0L four-cylinder gasoline engine, paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. Notably, a 1.6L GDI engine was also introduced, offering improved fuel efficiency while maintaining adequate power.

The Forte Cerato's design reflected KIA's evolving design language, characterized by flowing lines, a sculpted hood, and a prominent grille. Inside, the cabin offered a comfortable and well-appointed environment, with features like an optional navigation system, Bluetooth connectivity, and a premium sound system. Safety was a key focus, with the Forte Cerato receiving high marks in crash tests, thanks to features like standard airbags, anti-lock brakes, and electronic stability control. The Forte Cerato aimed to provide a compelling balance of affordability, practicality, and driving enjoyment, solidifying KIA's position as a rising star in the automotive industry. Despite its strong performance and value proposition, the Forte Cerato was eventually replaced by the second-generation model in 2013, which continued to build upon the foundation laid by its predecessor.
