Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives
Hyundai Creta Electric
  • Performance is both quick and easy to manage and can easily be your first electric car
  • Enough cabin space and good seat comfort for a family of 5
  • Loaded with features - Panoramic sunroof & 10.25-inch touchscreen & dual-zone climate control & ventilated front seats and much more!
  • Strong safety package - 6 airbags & ABS with EBD & ISOFIX and Level 2 ADAS
Kia Seltos
  • Looks aggressive and has strong road presence.
  • Cabin space is accommodating for a family of 5.
  • 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX, rear camera, TPMS and a lot more safety as standard. Higher variants add ADAS, 360-degree camera and more!
  • Variety of engines and transmissions means there’s a Seltos for different use cases.
  • Interior feels well built. Solid fitment quality.
  • Feature-rich: 30-inch panoramic display, 8-speaker BOSE music system, ventilated front seats, powered driver’s seat with memory, panoramic sunroof and a lot more.
Hyundai Creta Electric
  • Shallow boot makes placing more than one full-sized suitcase difficult
  • Doesn’t get the option of 18-inch alloy wheels like the Creta N-Line
Kia Seltos
  • Styling isn’t as sleek, sporty and understated as the previous car. This car looks more polarising vs the universal likeability of the predecessor.
  • Plastic panels used throughout the cabin can scratch easily.
  • Some minor feature misses: Powered tailgate, boss lever to adjust co-driver’s seat, rear seat ventilation (like the Syros)
