    Kia Sonet 1.2 Mt Petrol

    In petrol variant, the mileage is very low around 9-11 and is under power but overall features are good but the major disappoint is low mileage. The space and comfort is very fine and also service experience is good with low maintenance charges. Because of underpower, difficult to run in slip or mountain.Read More
