The standard production model of Kia SUV is likely to come with two engine options -1.5-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel. The transmission duties can be taken from a manual and a torque converter automatic gearbox. Paddle Shifters would be definitely available in the upper variants of the automatic version in the future models of SUV in India. The interesting part is that the engine of Kia SUV is to be compliant with BS-IV norms rather than the BS-VI.
After the launch of Kia SP SUV, it would compete against the likes of Hyundai Creta, Renault Duster and the upcoming Nissan Kicks in the Indian market. It is being speculated that the SUV will be available at a starting price of Rs 10 lakh and its top- variant might be priced at Rs 16 lakh (ex-showroom).
