Pros Cons of Tata Altroz

Pros

  • Five-star Bharat NCAP safety rating
  • Dual 10.25-inch screens
  • The addition of the AMT to the CNG variants

Cons

  • The naturally aspirated petrol feels sluggish
  • No turbo-petrol engine option
  • Rear-seat headroom is slightly tight

Verdict

The Tata Altroz honestly is one of the most structurally sound vehicles you can buy under Rs. 10 lakh. Tata addressed its biggest shortcomings with the recent update, swapping out the dated cabin screens for class-leading digital displays and adding standard six airbags to bolster its safety credentials. While the naturally aspirated petrol engine lacks outright punch, the availability of a torquey diesel and an incredibly practical AMT CNG configuration no doubt gives the Altroz an edge over its rivals.

Jaiveer summarises,

“Tata has really nailed it when it comes to the ride and handling mix in its range of cars, and the same holds for the Altroz as well.”

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.”
