Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives
Citroen Basalt
  • Looks! Coupe SUV design turns a lot of heads
  • Rear seat space — great kneeroom and foot room. Ample headroom despite sloping roof
  • HUGE 470-litre boot space
  • Will accommodate a whole lot more than just a weekend’s worth of luggage easily.
Kia Seltos
  • Still a very good looking Crossover
  • new DRLs and connected taillamps look fab. 18-inch alloys now in both X-line and GTX+ variants
  • ADAS 2.0
  • panoramic sunroof and dual zone climate control. New more powerful turbo petrol. Plenty of drivetrain options including a diesel engine.
Citroen Basalt
  • Bare basic feature list - Sunroof
  • cruise control
  • push-button start stop are sorely missed; 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine does not feel refined
  • Automatic gearbox is slow to respond.
Kia Seltos
  • Prices will go up. Some could feel that the visual changes are not enough.
