6. Driving & Comfort

Driving & Comfort Assessment

Performance Score7.5/10
Comfort Score6.5/10

City Driving

Manual gearbox requires more effort in heavy traffic, but offers good control. Turning radius of 5.2m is reasonable for urban maneuvers. Good ground clearance for everyday Indian road conditions.

Highway Performance

The 114 bhp engine is sufficient for highway cruising but needs planning for quick overtakes.

Ride & Comfort

Torsion beam rear suspension handles most road imperfections adequately. Cabin noise is well-controlled at city speeds; some wind noise creeps in on highways. 433L boot space is adequate for weekend trips.

"Improve Mileage Kia: It is the best car in segment in terms of looks, features & comfort as well as its performance is also good. You might not feel any discomfort even on a longer routes but the main concern is its mileage, in city traffic conditions its around 10-12kmpl & on highway its around 16-17kmpl if you combined both city & highway drive you will only get 14-15kmpl mileage which i think its needs improvement & pls note these figures are at normal speed at 70-85kmph."
