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.
Mahindra BE 6
  • A compact crossover that looks like a supercar!
  • Two battery pack options with around 400-500km of real range
  • Powerful and with rear wheel drive too!
  • Insane infotainment package with Dolby Atoms and ambient lighting + ORMS + door handles and exterior lighting that all dance to your tunes
  • Strong safety suite includes well-calibrated L2 ADAS and 5 Star BNCAP rating
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)
Mahindra BE 6
  • Rear headroom will be a problem for those over 6ft
  • Rear visibility is also not great
  • Styling could be a little over the top for many
