It’s been about two months since I bought the car, and I wanted to share my experience. First off, the space is excellent — the 2.9-meter wheelbase is almost the size of a C-Class, and both the front and rear seats are very comfortable. Rear passengers have plenty of room whether it’s a short trip or a long one. As for fuel consumption, I’ve driven around 1,000 km, mostly within the city and not on highways, and it averages between 8 to 9 liters per 100 km, which is great for a 2.0L engine. The exterior looks fantastic. The car is nearly 5 meters long, which gives it real road presence, and the quad exhaust tips at the back give it a sporty touch. The dual 12.3-inch interior screens add a nice techy vibe, and if you go for the red-and-black interior, it looks really sporty and stylish. The rotary gear shifter also adds a premium feel. In terms of performance, I just got my license so I don’t drive fast, but I did try Sport mode on a countryside road and was honestly surprised by the acceleration — the power delivery is strong, even more than I personally need. Handling is easy and responsive, and gear shifts are smooth and barely noticeable. The car comes with solid safety features. One time in a narrow street near home, someone suddenly stepped out in front of me — the car immediately gave a warning and braked on its own. I was going around 40 km/h and was honestly shocked at how quickly it reacted. The ventilated and heated seats are also super useful — cooling in summer, heating in winter, and once you try it, you’ll appreciate the difference. Sound insulation is great, especially in the front thanks to the double-pane windows. You start hearing the engine a bit after 60 km/h, but it’s not annoying. My only complaint is that the seats are a bit firm, and headroom is slightly tight for anyone over 180 cm tall. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the car and I think Kia has done a great job with this model.
