The interior is getting better for a Kia, but still can't compete with the sophisticated finish of European and Japanese rivals. However it's pleasant and easy to live with and the excellent level of equipment goes a long way to make up for it. The driving position is good for cruising and all-round visibility is good.

Interior space is another area that Kia has tried to deliver on, and there's no shortage of space good front head and shoulder room and rear leg and shoulder space. However the seats are quite basic and offer little support for long journeys.
