Third‑Generation Launch (YD)
The YD code marks the third generation of the Kia Cerato, which rolled out in 2013 and continued production through 2018. This generation is also referred to as the Cerato III Saloon in parts catalogs.
Nameplate Evolution
The original Cerato nameplate began in 2003, but in 2008 Kia replaced the Cerato badge with the Forte nameplate for newer models. Despite that shift, the third‑generation YD retained the Cerato designation for many markets.
Parts Availability Challenges
Owners of the YD generation often find that aftermarket parts can be harder to locate, with cataloging sometimes lacking or inaccurate. Specialized suppliers, such as B‑Parts, focus on providing used Cerato III (YD) components to keep these cars on the road.
