Most Helpful Review

Good car for those who looking for compact SUV segments

Very good deal, even in basic version we get almost all the feature, its a very comfortable front and rear rows sitting, build quality is also good since a ncap 4 rated car, coming to performance found little slow.

Lack of power in engine

While driving obviously you feel the lack of Engine power as compare to other cars in this price range like breeza...I took the test drive of HTK+ model i did not get feel of driving as expected from KIA. Price is too high as compared to car performance...i guess if people wait little over than they may get some offers from kia but in this price without any offer a big no to this car from my side.
