Pros Cons of Kia Seltos

Pros

  • The 2023 facelift brings a modern look with updated LED headlights, a larger grille, and 18-inch alloys, enhancing its street presence.
  • Advanced tech features like dual 10.25-inch displays, wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Bose 8-speaker audio system offer a premium in-cabin experience.
  • Safety is enhanced with Level 2 ADAS, including features like Front Collision Avoidance and Lane Keep Assist, providing extra peace of mind.

Cons

  • The diesel variant lacks a manual gearbox, which may disappoint traditional drivers who prefer full control over gear shifts.
  • Though the iMT option is available, it can be cumbersome and may take time to get used to compared to a conventional manual.
  • The rear seat experience is marred by a limited view for taller passengers due to the high window line, and the stiffer suspension can compromise ride comfort over uneven surfaces

Verdict

The 2023 Kia Seltos offers a blend of style, tech, and safety, making it a compelling choice in the compact SUV segment. While it may have a few downsides, such as the lack of a manual diesel option and a slightly stiff suspension, the Seltos shines with its powerful turbo engine, high-tech cabin, and comprehensive safety features. It's a great option for those seeking a modern, feature-rich SUV at an attractive price.
