Overview

The Kia Seltos is what happens when you take the Hyundai Creta's platform and make it more desirable — the Seltos trades a little practicality for more style, better interior quality, and a stronger set of features. The twin panoramic displays are stunning, the ADAS system is among the best calibrated in India, and the turbo-petrol DCT combo is genuinely fun. For buyers who want a premium compact SUV experience without paying premium SUV money, the Seltos tops the class.

Pros & Cons

What we like
  • Twin 26-cm panoramic display — class-leading
  • ADAS Level 2 well-calibrated
  • Best-in-class interior quality
  • Turbo-petrol DCT is engaging and quick
  • Connected car tech is seamless
What could be better
  • Boot space (433L) same as Creta — no advantage
  • Turbo-petrol less refined at low rpm
  • Service costs higher than Maruti
  • Some features locked to top 2 trims
