Reliable predictable and consistent performance

I drove this car to Badrinath , Really enjoy the driving it's movability and engine is really very smooth Very good car If you drive between 60 to 70 km/h We get average 20++ AC is very effective

False promise from Kia

Kia is a cheating company .they fool the customers of India by giving false price. I have booked and waited for 2 months now i come to know that they suddenly increased price of 60000 rs on car price. If they cant give the car at offered price than why they did scam by false advertising about prices? Kia is not a brand they do just a false promise and big cheater. Never buy this. Any time they close the company and say bye bye to Indians.
