Value for Money

The car is great. But I had to wait for 6 months for my Diesel AT variant. The waiting period is too long. Kia needs to increase production.

Combination of look and performance

Overall, I am satisfied with the vehicle. It offers great value for money, and I recommend it to my friends who are looking for a family car.”

Rattling and Electronics Problems

Only 8 months old and the car is falling apart. The sunroof makes a rattling noise. The 10-inch screen hangs and reboots all the time. The AC is also not cooling properly. So many small issues. The service center is not able to fix them. Very poor quality. Not expected from Kia.

1.5 Petrol is a failure

The 1.5 NA engine is a joke for a 7-seater. The car cannot pull with 7 people. I live in a hilly area and it's a nightmare. I have to ask my family to get out sometimes. It is so embarrassing and underpowered. Why did Kia even launch this engine? It's completely useless.

1.5 NA Petrol is very underpowered

Do not buy the 1.5 NA petrol. It is too weak for this big car. With 6 people, I cannot even climb a small hill without switching off the AC. It's a big mistake. The car struggles a lot.

Parts availability is a big issue

My car had a minor accident. The front bumper and headlight were damaged. It has been 45 days. The parts are still not available. The service center has no idea. What is the use of a car if you can't get spares? Very bad after-sales support from Kia. I am stuck without a car.

Looks good, feels average

It's an average car. Looks good and has features. But the 3-star safety is a big problem. And the 1.5 NA engine is weak. It's a compromise. Not a complete package.

Fit and finish issues

My car is 1 year old and has started rattling. There is a noise from the dashboard. The piano black plastics are all scratched. The build quality is not as good as it looks.

Just a bigger Seltos

It's basically a Seltos stretched into an MPV. The 3-star safety rating is the same. It's good for features and space, but I am not confident about its safety on the highway.

All Show, No Safety!

I regret buying this. 6 airbags are a marketing gimmick. GNCAP said the body shell is "unstable". What is the use of airbags if the car's body collapses? I feel I have put my family at risk. Kia cheated us with features. Don't fall for the lights and screens. Safety is zero.

Poor mileage from Turbo Petrol

I am shocked by the mileage of my 1.5 Turbo. I am getting only 8-9 kmpl in city. This is too expensive to run. The car is fun, but the running cost is too high. Not a practical choice.
