Question 1

What is Kia's iMT manual gearbox?

Accepted Answer

The intelligent manual transmission keeps a normal gear lever and clutch pedal but operates the clutch electronically, so the engine can switch off while coasting. It came with the 48-volt mild hybrids of the Rio, Stonic and Ceed.

Question 2

How much road tax does a manual Kia diesel pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Its CO₂ figure × 0.9 × the band factor, half as much again as a petrol car with the same CO₂. A diesel at 120 g/km pays €86 a year, while a car first registered before 2001 is taxed on engine size.

Question 3

Does Kia's seven-year warranty cover the clutch on a used manual?

Accepted Answer

The seven-year, 150,000 km warranty covers manual and automatic Kias alike and passes to later owners, but a clutch is a wear part. Check that it bites cleanly and that no gear crunches on a test drive.

Question 4

Which new manual Kias are sold in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

The Picanto 1.0 GDI with a five-speed manual, the K4 1.0 T-GDI with a six-speed, with or without mild hybrid, the Stonic 1.0 T-GDI and the Sportage 1.6 T-GDI. Each version is listed at its official list price.
