Most Helpful Review

it's amazing

The new Hyundai Venue stands out with its bold design, advanced tech, and smooth driving experience. Spacious, comfortable, and efficient — it’s a perfect compact SUV for modern city life.

Coustomer service very bad

I’m extremely disappointed with Kia’s customer service. The lack of communication, long delays, and poor handling of warranty claims show a clear disregard for customers after the sale is made. It’s frustrating to spend lakhs on a car and then be left chasing updates, fighting for basic service, or being ignored completely. Kia seriously needs to improve its after-sales support — this kind of treatment is unacceptable and reflects very poorly on the brand.
