How convincing is Kia cars in Dubai

[khandelwal]

The typical Korean car with all the goodies, do I see all the features are convincingly captured from the Japanese car, which are again based on American prototypes. I don't see Hyundai doing that to compete with the European and American cars.

Kia Carnival is really a good bet, or Sedona one of the largest non-commercial cars. With 3.8 lt V6 engine the vehicle is competitive priced, good luggage space great interiors and comes with an attractive 16" allow wheels, and what more its a 7-seaters.

Kia makes the cheap car to be precise, with all the bells and whistles of Japanese cars. People started preferring Kia is to save on money and go big on features, luxury and now style too, reliability i am still not sure though. One could go for a better one with slight high price to Hyundai another Korean Car.

a car remains reliable only if you take good care of it.

you said it a car remains reliable only if you take good care of it, Kia is slightly off compare to Hyundai, besides in UAE people are more attached to Japanese Toyota brand, after European and Americans cars. That way KIA offers something for those who want the luxury by paying less. Well not a bad car after all

but have you noticed how fast kia/hyundai cars have been spreading on UAE roads?

I second with Paul here that within last 4-5 years after major design change Kia captured the UAE market like crazy. Every nook and corner have one Kia car standing unlike before. I am sure they must have dealt with good reliability graph too or else ppl will not buy cars if they are just beautiful but money pit.

my next car will likely be a kia.

i'm starting to like the new Carens.

So far have been drinig a KIA for 2 Years and I am prety much stisfied with the quality I paid for, as well as the performace I paid for still is as good as I took it Out from the Showroom, The only darw back I see in KIA in U.A.E is the number of service centres and the prople who serve you. At times I ahve even faced that the service guy are charging me for stuff that they even don't know what's for I hope they can make it better soon
