Most Helpful Review

Overall excellent

The Interior of the car should be in black colour with chrome framing, and I request to Mahindra to provide finance facility at a low interest rate so that more and more people purchase this car.

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.

Good featured car

All are good Pros: driving is very smooth, boot space, handling. Sprint variant is value for Money, getting all options which are needed. Cons: Mileage in the city, back seat thigh support
