Most Helpful Review

Best Family car

Buying experience: it takes 3 months to deliver the car. The driving experience is nice in the city traffic carens give millage of 14-15 km/l on the highway it gives 18 km/l and on Expressway on cruise it gives 20-21 km/l. That to for a petrol car it is best in class. Performance is also good.

Service isuue

Kia India shows no regard for its customers and operates merely as a puppet of dealers who engage in malpractice. The customer complaint was completely ignored, with neither a response nor a resolution.
