Performance
Now you can go further thanks to enhanced fuel efficiency while reveling in the delight of greater control of your driving experience, regardless of the road or weather conditions.
Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT)
2.0L DOHC MPi D-CVVT Petrol
7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission
1.6L DOHC T-GDi D-CVVT Petrol
The IVT is designed to improve on traditional Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT), with its adaptive style shift logic for smoother, more linear acceleration with better transmission efficiency, and most importantly better fuel economy.
Paired with the IVT the 2.0L MPi engine produces 110kW @ 6,200 rpm of power and 180Nm @ 4,300 rpm of torque.
Kia’s Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) is derived from a manual transmission and gives you the convenience of smooth automatic gear changes whilst retaining the fuel economy benefits associated with a manual transmission.
Matched with the 7 speed Dual Clutch transmission the 1.6L turbo produces 130kW @ 6,000 rpm of power and 265Nm @ 1,500 - 4,500 rpm of torque.
