The Soluto offers an array of value-for-money features, highlighted by the 1.4-liter Dual-CVVT gasoline engine that produces 95 PS of power and 132 Nm of torque, combined with a spacious interior as well as standard 7-inch Touchscreen Audio with Android Auto & Apple Carplay, 6-speaker system, rearview camera, and steering wheel controls.

Of course, the sedan must also have the convenience and connectivity features to make the hours spent on the road by representatives as comfortable as possible.” 

 “The Soluto is ideal for people who are on the move constantly,” says Brian Buendia, Chief Operating Officer of Kia Philippines. “And to avoid any potential downtime, there is an entire Kia dealership network that is ready with parts and service for any unforeseen circumstances.” The Soluto comes with comprehensive warranty coverage.
