when Renuka is behind the wheel the seats look like a throne whereas when Nikhil switches places it looks like a stool with a backrest (...just on a lighter note) now on a serious note .... both these Autocar journos are brilliant...in fact the whole lot of them...

8:41 That Lodgy is the real star of the show. The fact that it's been in the Autocar fleet for so long is a testament to it's reliability. Pity it didn't quite hit it off with Indian buyers.

Maruti Diesel Ertiga and Brezza are killer of many car models in India. Brezza killed Eco Sports sales, Ertiga killed all MPVs sales. If Maruti came with Diesel again it will chew other brands once again but they can't meet BS VI. Other brands should capitalize on this.

I wont lie, this car does feel like a rounded package, but it needs to be tested by Global NCAP to see whether is it true what Kia claims that it has advanced high strength steel used in the structure.

It deserved the 2.0L engine and bigger rims
@shivvashishthabhargava4600 2 жыл бұрын
So a person who wants a Kia under 20 Lakhs can choose from a fully loaded Sonet, mid level Seltos or a Carens! Bigger alloys and at least one 2.0L powertrain would've been the cherry on the cake. Kia giving it everything to outsell the Venue, Creta and Alcazar. Irrespective of all that, I still feel the Hyundai Tucson is a hidden gem/grossly underrated. Interesting proportions? Or maybe the Carens needed better groundclearance/height/bigger tyres? Very pretty interiors. More than functional third row and a superb middle row.

The cabin space is really impressive. The major turn off is the Diesel engine and to some point the front wheel drive set up where the Innova shines. Another major turn off factor is the name itself. I can live with the looks which are a personal choice but isn’t striking at all. In place of a TGDI with DCT they should have provided a 2.0 L diesel with 6 speed manual.

Kia should have upped the game by giving 2 litre diesel and petrol. It would have been a little better in terms of performance. The dog came in the middle to check if Kia provided the correct engine combination.😅😅😅😅😅

The engine feels so strained considering the 1.5 Diesel will be the most buyers choice. Surprising to know on what way did that 1.5 petrol will perform! Even before a decade I really appreciate what Toyota has done with its bread which never feels strained and it lasts even now and proved all its mile munching capability..🙌

Hello Renuka,great review thank you for all the efforts. I am looking for automatic and confused about the engine to select, Diesel/1.4 Petrol DCT automatic which one you suggest? Considering 7 people in the cabin, I am looking for an automatic engine which can effortlessly pull the load (city,highways & ghat section). Iam not keen on the milage that it gives.
