Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives
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.
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)
