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 Mahindra Marazzo

Pros

  • It has a spacious cabin which can seat seven or eight passengers in reasonable comfort.
  • The ride quality is comfortable over broken roads and long highway drives.
  • The 1.5-litre diesel engine offers good refinement and respectable fuel efficiency.
  • It has a four-star Global NCAP safety rating for adult safety only.
  • The roof-mounted air-conditioning keeps all three rows cool even in hot weather.

Cons

  • The diesel engine lacks performance when carrying a full load of passengers and baggage.
  • Buyers do not get the choice of an automatic transmission or petrol engine.
  • Mahindra rarely updates its Marazzo in order to keep it competitive.
  • Newer MPVs in the segment have more modern features than the Marazzo.
  • The exterior design does not look as attractive as some of the modern MPVs.

Verdict

The Mahindra Marazzo is a practical family MPV with a four-star GNCAP rating that is spacious, comfortable, and has a good ride quality. In fact, it remains one of the more comfortable people movers in its price and also makes economic sense due to its refined diesel engine. 

However, it did not evolve with the needs of the segment. Plus, the lack of an automatic transmission, limited feature upgrades, and stronger competition from newer MPVs have made it a less attractive option over the years. 

If one is looking to buy a basic MPV that is large, comfortable and safe enough for carrying a large family over long distances, the Marazzo is still a sensible buy. However, if you are looking for modern technology, multiple powertrain options, or a richer ownership ecosystem, there are better options in the market.
