As the name suggests, PerformanceDrive loves to get its teeth stuck into all sorts of sport-oriented vehicles. Although the 2020 Kia Cerato GT falls short of the full Hyundai i30 N equivalent hot hatch, we think there is a huge amount of appeal to be found here. The Cerato is […]

2020 Kia Seltos review – S and GT-Line (video)
The small SUV market is now a hugely contested segment in Australia. That’s why Kia has thrown its all at it and introduced a brand-new model; the Seltos. It comes with a fresh, youthful design that is jam-packed with practicality and the latest mod-cons. The unique name comes from ‘Celtos’, […]
2020 Kia Carnival Platinum diesel review (video)
When it comes to the job of carting lots of people around in a vehicle, MPVs and people movers are simply the best at it. They probably always will be, despite the influx of SUVs and crossover that are popping up that promise similar levels of accommodation. Let’s take a […]
2020 Kia Sorento GT-Line diesel review (video)

2020 Kia Stinger GT review (video)
It’s been on sale for almost two years now, and although it does present some very appealing numbers, including power and performance figures, and price, it hasn’t really captured the Aussie market as much as we were all expecting. To remind everyone that it’s still simmering with fiery vivacity, Kia […]
2019 Kia Cerato GT hatch review (video)
Kia doesn’t currently offer a full-cream hot hatch. But this new Cerato GT gets mightily close, packing turbo power, stiff suspension, and all of the spicy garnishes you’d expect from one. The GT is the flagship of the all-new Cerato range, and rounds out Kia’s latest sport-inspired portfolio which recently […]
