Pros Cons of Kia Seltos

Pros

  • The turbo-petrol engine is incredibly fast
  • A solid, up-to-date safety suite
  • The dual 12.3-inch screens
  • Still offers a proper diesel engine

Cons

  • Stiff suspension on broken city roads
  • The turbo-petrol engine has lower fuel economy
  • Top-spec GTX and X-Line variants are very expensive
  • Rear headroom is slightly tight for tall passengers

Verdict

The Kia Seltos is one apt car that offers a powertrain combination for literally every type of buyer, whether you want cheap daily commutes with the NA petrol, high mileage with the diesel, or aggressive speed with the turbo-petrol. Kia also listened to the consumer base and fixed its biggest flaw by securing a five-star crash safety rating. The only real downside is the firm ride quality over bad roads. But if you can live with feeling a few bumps in the city, the Kia Seltos gets most of the other driving essentials right.

As Seshan concludes,

“The new-gen Seltos raises the bar. It’s bolder and more distinctive.”

Pros Cons of Audi A4

Pros

  • Punchy and refined 2.0-litre petrol engine
  • Excellent interior fit and finish
  • Supple ride quality over bad roads
  • Physical buttons for climate control

Cons

  • No diesel engine option available
  • No specific Level 2 ADAS technology
  • The steering feel could be more engaging
  • Base trims miss out on the digital driver display

Verdict

The Audi A4 is a highly competent and charming luxury sedan. It does not try to win you over with overly complicated touchscreens or aggressive styling. Instead, it gets most of the fundamentals right.

The 2.0-litre engine is quick, the gearbox is snappy, and the cabin is a genuinely quiet place to spend time. The physical controls are a breath of fresh air in a market obsessed with digital menus. While the lack of a diesel engine might turn some buyers away, the petrol motor is more than up to the task. It strikes a brilliant balance between everyday comfort and strong performance, and if you want a sensible, well-built, and understated German sedan, the A4 should be right at the top of your list.
