Kia Cerato Sun Shades — Cerato, K3, Forte and Spectra Fitment (2004–2025)

Kia Cerato Sun Shades

The Cerato is the hardest car in the Kia range to order shades for, and it is nothing to do with the car. It is the naming. The same small sedan and hatch has been sold as the Cerato, the K3, the Forte and — before that — the Spectra, and Auto Sunshades lists nine products across those names.

This page tells you which one is yours. All are from $49.99.

Start with the build year and body

Compliance plate in the driver's door jamb. Build year, not registration year. From 2010 the sedan and the hatch are cut as separate sets.

The 2021 facelift kept the same door glass, so a 2022–2025 sedan takes the Cerato / K3 2019–2025 set.

One listing carries no year range:

Two things to check before you order

1. Sedan or hatch. From 2010 on, the same build year can take two different sets depending on the body. Pick the row that matches both your year and your body.

2. Builds on a boundary year. The 2008 and 2013 rows sit on a model changeover, and a 2013 or 2014 sedan falls between the dated sedan sets. If your build year is on one of those edges, send us the year and body and we will confirm the set before you order.

Asking first costs you a message and saves a return.

The names, decoded

• Cerato is the Australian-market name throughout.
• K3 is the Chinese and Korean-market name for the same car. It appears on the 2015–2018 and 2019–2025 sedan listings.
• Forte is the North American and Korean name. Same car.
• Spectra is the earlier generation, and its listing also carries Cerato and Sephia as alternate names. If your car predates 2004, the Spectra listing is the one to look at.

None of these are different vehicles. They are the same nameplate sold under different badges, which is why one search term will not find them all.
