Kia Cerato Parts Guide: Generations and Most-Requested Parts

The most important step before ordering is to identify the generation, because body and lighting parts differ between generations. Speero has more than 400 ready-to-order parts for the Cerato, mostly genuine dealer parts, covering models from 2001 to 2025.

Cerato generations

• 2004 to 2008: First generation, common in the used-car market.
• 2009 to 2013: Second generation with a completely different design.
• 2014 to 2018: Third generation, one of the most common generations.
• 2019 to 2023: Fourth generation, with an exterior design update during this period.

2016 parts often do not fit a 2019 in body and lighting parts. Always match the part number.

Most-requested Cerato parts

Brakes

Front and rear brake pads and brake discs. Example: a genuine rear brake pad set on Speero was about SAR 256 at the time of writing. Browse brakes and brake pads.

Suspension

Front shock absorbers and stabilizer links. Example: a Korean aftermarket front shock absorber was about SAR 193, while the genuine one was about SAR 725. Read signs of worn shock absorbers.

Air conditioning and cooling

The compressor, cabin air filter, and radiator. Read signs of a faulty air-conditioning compressor.

Body and lighting

The front bumper (the genuine one was about SAR 237), headlights, and fender liner. Genuine headlights for newer generations are much more expensive, so compare genuine and aftermarket options.

Filters

The engine air filter (the genuine one was about SAR 107), cabin air filter, and oil filter.

The prices above are from Speero at the time of writing (October 2026) and vary by offers, stock, and year.

Cerato parts by year: what you need to know

People often search for Cerato parts by year, such as “Cerato 2016” or “Cerato 2019”, because each generation has a different design and specific body parts.

Cerato 2009 to 2013: Affordable and widely available parts. Bumpers, headlights, and shock absorbers are in highest demand because most of these cars have covered long distances.

Cerato 2014 to 2018: The most common generation in Saudi Arabia. Its most common parts are shock absorbers, brake pads, the radiator, and the air-conditioning compressor. Its parts are widely available in genuine and aftermarket options.

Cerato 2019 to 2023: A newer generation with completely different body and lighting parts. Genuine headlights for this generation are relatively expensive (the genuine one exceeded SAR 1,500 per headlight at the time of writing), so it is worth comparing them with aftermarket options.

Cerato and Elantra: do they share parts?

The Cerato and Elantra are from the same group (Hyundai and Kia), and some mechanical parts are shared between certain generations, such as some filters and engine parts. This helps availability because a part you cannot find under the Cerato name may be found by its number among Elantra parts. However, body, lighting, and suspension parts are usually different, so do not rely on the name and always match the part number. See the Elantra parts guide.

Routine Cerato maintenance

Cerato maintenance is simple and affordable: an oil filter with every oil change, an air filter (the genuine one was about SAR 107 at the time of writing) and cabin air filter every 20,000 to 40,000 km, and brake pads according to use. Keeping to these intervals protects more expensive parts such as the compressor and brake discs.

Why order Cerato parts from Speero?

The difference between an easy buying experience and a difficult one is often in the small details: does the part fit the first time? Do you know exactly what you are paying for? Can you return the part if there is a mistake? That is why Speero built the ordering experience around these points.

First, select the model and model year from the Cerato page, and only parts that fit your car appear, so you do not waste time on parts that are not for your car. Each part is clearly labelled by type, “genuine dealer part” or “aftermarket”, with its country of manufacture, so you can compare quality and price knowing the difference.

After ordering, delivery covers all regions of Saudi Arabia and usually arrives within 2 to 4 business days. If the part does not fit, you can return it within 7 days according to the return policy. Payment is flexible: mada, Apple Pay, and cards, or instalments through Tabby and Tamara for expensive parts such as the compressor and radiator.

If you cannot find the part you want, use request a quote: send the part name and vehicle identification number, then sellers quote you and you select the best option.
