For value for money, budget buyers, even after the price hike, the base model, both petrol & Diesel is a steal. However waiting period can vary for 3 to 5 months after booking for a token amount of ₹25,000. Kia does not make money on base variant & so you have to patiently wait.Now here is the secret. The base variant is fully equipped with ABS, EBD, air bags, power windows, reversing sensors, both disc brakes (only in diesel variants) plus BS 6 engines.Now if you want to upgrade to DRL, alloy wheels, reverse camera etc, you can get it done by spending a few thousands.
