    Congrats KIA Motors Mangalore.

    KIA Motors provides 10 year Warranty on their vehicles in Kuwait, which has one of the harshest weather and driving conditions in the world.

    I have used Hyundai Accent for 12 years with minimum maintenance and without any break downs until recently.

    Kia Means more death on Indian road. Kia Made if Korea is famous for below average on road safety and above 60% of Indian are not well trained in driving and 0 in road disciplinary most of them dont even know whats blind spot or uses of indicator signals , Now its time for Indian Government to upgrade Indian Driving system to international driving standards.

    Can't say coz Indian market is still prize sensitive... Seltos a five Seater costs around 11 to 17 lacs and Mahindra XUV 500 a seven Seater costs between 12 to 17 lacs.. XUV 500 is a good car and XUV 300 a five Seater costs less than Seltos.. And XUV300 is as good looking as Kia Seltos.. So can't write off both the vehicles.
