Pros Cons of Kia Seltos

Pros

  • Premium interior vibe
  • Packed with modern features 
  • Refined performance

Cons

  • Ride could have been more relaxing
  • Turbo-petrol's low mileage

Verdict

The new Kia Seltos is quite aspirational with its premium interior, tech features, and smooth performance. It stands out with its new design and improved ride comfort. As a result, it makes for a strong contender in the mid-size SUV segment, offering a blend of performance, comfort, and technology.

Pros Cons of Hyundai Verna

Pros

  • Lots of features in most of the trims
  • Level-2 ADAS on the higher variants
  • Dual 10.25-inch screens on the top models
  • A powerful, turbo-setup engine option
  • A modern design with horizon-led DRLs
  • Good after-sales brand support

Cons

  • ADAS should have been available on all the variants
  • Turbo variants are not fuel-friendly
  • The best variants also demand premium prices
  • IVT and DCT options are unavailable in all the  trims
  • On-road Pricing can increase in some cities

Verdict

The Hyundai Verna is available in retail in the Indian market with a wide variety of variants, ranging from practical, no-frills trims to the fully loaded ones with advanced safety systems and premium equipment. The car’s overall feel is modern and well-thought-out, giving you a comfortable interior focused on daily usage, as well as a stronger shot at performance should you choose to test its capabilities on the highways.
Girish points out,
"The sense of space is a lot more than what it has been before, this is really where this Verna really shines."
This means that if your usage primarily leans towards regular office runs and family drives, the mid variants are more than enough to satisfy such needs. We also noticed how the Verna gives you a ‘sorted out for the immediate future’ feeling, offering a complete package that rivals more expensive alternatives. Sure, the Ciaz may be much easier to maintain, the City might be more comfortable, or the Slavia may offer a more engaging driving experience, but the South Korean manufacturer’s mid-size sedan holds its own with its diverse lineup and its reliable safety credentials.
