Most Helpful Review

Comfortable and feels lighter

Overall, the DCT version has good power and space with full capacity, the city got 9 to 11 mileage, and Highways got 14kmp, Missing an Inbuilt GPS, and for the cost, then could have given a bigger screen on the dashboard.

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.
