The KIA SHUMA (1999-04) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 GSX AUTO4 is an older five-door family hatchback, offering a roomy, practical alternative to small city cars and pricier mainstream rivals. Its 1.8-litre petrol engine and automatic gearbox suit drivers seeking relaxed motoring, especially around town, while the hatchback layout brings everyday flexibility. It suits budget-minded commuters, couples or small families wanting uncomplicated transport, not modern gadgets or sporty performance. The automatic can ease stop-start journeys, while five doors help with passengers and shopping. Against popular family hatchbacks of its era, the Shuma is a less common, value-focused choice with a roomy character. mycarcheck.com has recorded five checks across four VINs, so figures are indicative rather than a broad market picture. Those checks show average most-recent mileage of 65,000, annual mileage of 4,000 and 4.8 previous keepers; average private-sale valuation was £100. Treat these sample figures as a guide, not a current asking price.
