More for less: The Kia Soluto EX AT
With its budget-friendly price tag, the Kia Soluto unexpectedly delivers outstanding performance and features. It also showcases a chic persona that will perfectly blend with the stylish lifestyle of first-time car buyers.
Kia’s most affordable sedan comes in four variants (two EX and two LX). On the exterior, the EX variants are equipped with front fog lamps, which are not present on the LX variants. The turn signal indicators of the top variant are mounted on the outside mirror, which makes it different from the LX variants’ which are placed on the fender. The EX variants' outside door handles are in chrome instead of body-colored. The top trim also uses 14-inch alloy wheels.
Soluto’s EX variants provide a more sophisticated interior as the seats are upholstered with leatherette. The sedan’s steering wheel and gear shift knob are wrapped in leather. The top variant also features height-adjust, recline, and slide functions on the driver’s seat, unlike the LX variants which are only equipped with recline and slide.
The EX variants get rear parking distance warning, and receive an immobilizer for an enhanced anti-theft system.
Let’s narrow down the comparison to the two EX variants: the Kia Soluto EX MT and the Kia Soluto EX AT. The major difference between these two variants is their transmission types; one is five-speed manual and the other is four-speed automatic. Just like all the other Soluto variants, the top variant uses a Kappa Dual-CVVT engine.
The Kia Soluto EX AT variant has a curb weight of 1,066 kg which is relatively the biggest among all Soluto trims.
