Most Helpful Review

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.

Nice rich interior

It was awesome and looked nice rich interior design the lights are creative and it will be equal to Seltos and Kia Carnes Nexon and brezza this car looks stylish and functional.
