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.

"Trax Cruiser: Simple.Solid.Unstoppable."

The People Mover That Laughs at Bad Roads If you have a big joint family or need a vehicle for pure utility, stop looking. The Trax Cruiser is simply the best option for moving lots of people.The 13-seater variant, and the space is amazing—it takes everyone, plus our bags, without feeling cramped. This is a true workhorse, not a fancy SUV. It tackles terrible village roads and rocky terrain with zero issues, which is exactly what is needed. The high ground clearance is a huge plus, and the AC is surprisingly strong, even in the rear. Now for the reality check: the interiors are old-school and simple, don't expect plush comfort. The gearbox takes some effort, and city mileage is just average. But honestly, for its robust build, power, and massive capacity, it’s unbeatable value for money. It’s built to last, and it delivers.
