Kia Mentor Engines and Transmissions

Every Kia Mentor engine here is a small gasoline four driving the front wheels, so the real choice is the gearbox. The 1.6 MT and 1.5 MT Sedan and Hatchback suit drivers who want direct control and lower maintenance, while the 1.5 AT trades some economy for easier city driving.
