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.”
