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.

Awaasaam...

Best car great Love to drive Best economic Good fuel capacity. Power full engine Less maintenance Great look Shine Performance nice best lovely Buy everyone and try to do best review

Nissan Kicks Turbo vs Renault Duster Turbo - Buying Guide

By Ninad Ambre09 Jun 2021

There are plenty of options available now if you are in the market for a petrol-powered mid-size SUV. And, if you can look beyond the current favourite Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos duo, there's another pair of siblings that will catch your attention. The Renault Duster and the Nissan Kicks. Besides, there's a good reason why you should take a look at these two. Especially, if more power and turbocharging are what you are looking for. These are amongst the most powerful turbo-powered petrol SUVs on sale in India. We shall draw an analogy between the two, and this comparison should help you decide which one to choose.
