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 Honda Civic

Pros

  • Sexy looks
  • Premium and spacious cabin
  • Powerful and peppy petrol engine

Cons

  • Low profile tyres are noisy
  • Steering at times feels cumbersome
  • Petrol-manual drivetrain would have done wonders

Verdict

And this is why the company has also taken cognizance of the feedback on the 8th gen car in India. The ground clearance for this India spec has been increased by 20 mm in front and 15 mm at the back. Having driven over a variety of roads, I can safely say that the ground clearance is not an issue whatsoever. I know you are now probably wondering where I stand on this car. It has some obvious flaws and some great strengths - but to me its also about its legacy and therefore the return of the Civic nameplate to India is just terrific. I welcome it warmly - and also now hope that Honda prices it sensibly. That won't just be great news for Civic fans, but also for the ailing midsize segment that badly needs a hit.
