Pros Cons of Honda Elevate

Pros

  • The ride quality is extremely comfortable
  • The cabin is big and spacious enough
  • The gear shifts are smooth and precise
  • The 1.5-Litre i-VTEC engine is highly refined and reliable

Cons

  • The engine does not have low-end punch
  • There are no ventilated seats
  • There is no power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Only a petrol engine is available

Verdict

The Honda Elevate is an honest, highly capable mid-size SUV that buyers will find comfortable and safe to engage with. It's got that widely loved macho aesthetic, and it's built to serve, giving you the luxury of traversing through broken Indian roads while staying composed and maintenance-free for as long as possible.

However, we admit it has some faults. The engine chokes up when you push it too hard, and some other features should have been here to stay ahead of the competition. But look past those shortcomings, and you still get to experience Honda's legendary reliability at its finest. Overall, this is one comfortable crossover for most buyers.

Seshan summarises,

“The Honda Elevate is a solid, honest attempt at a midsize SUV. It’s comfortable, safe, and looks the part.”

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.”
