Same problem happens to my Kia Cerato, 2010 97,000kms. Do not know what is wrong, have you found a solution?

You will find the 2008 to 2013 Kia Cerato 2.0 manual can jerk and hesitate on take off, if you have not let out the clutch completely before you accelerate through the gears. You need to change your driving style so as not to accelerate hard while clutch is being released

It’s an auto! And I have tested this, if I am just taking off too fast and nope - slow normal or super fast, when I hit 35kms it does this jerk.

There could be several reasons why your Kia Cerato's engine is turning over but not starting. Here are some possible causes:

Fuel system issue: A clogged fuel filter, a failing fuel pump, or a clogged fuel injector could prevent fuel from reaching the engine, causing it to not start.
Ignition system issue: A faulty spark plug, spark plug wire, distributor cap, rotor, or ignition control module could cause a lack of spark, which would prevent the engine from starting.
Engine compression issue: Low engine compression could prevent the engine from starting. This could be caused by worn or damaged engine components, such as valves, pistons, or cylinders.
Computer issue: A faulty engine control module (ECM) or other computer-related issue could prevent the engine from starting.
Starter issue: A faulty starter motor or solenoid could cause the engine to turn over but not start.
