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.
Toyota Platinum Etios
  • Spacious especially at the rear, Comfortable ride, Engine tuned for easy city commuting, Backed by dependable Toyota service network
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)
Toyota Platinum Etios
  • Looks bland even with facelift, Interior quality feels sub-par, Features missing including touchscreen infotainment system, Cost-cutting is obvious

Q. What is the difference between VXD and VX limited edition - Platinum Etios?
  • Don't no
  • Yes. Very much possible. Buying it from Amazon or Flipkart and finding a good Automobile electrician to fix it is the cheaper option.
Q. I used to travel 4000 km per month. I need a sedan having good engine warranty and low maintainence. I shortlisted Toyota Etios and Honda Amaze. Which one can I buy. At present I am having Toyota Etios Liva diesel which is hazzle free with over 3lac km and still it's good. I am going to upgrade. Kindly suggest.
  • Actually Zig wheels the Etios gave me 28 kmpl
  • You can buy The TOYOTA ETIOS as the Etios is a very reliable and cost-effective car and it is more comfortable than the honda Amaze . The engine in the Etios is more refined than the Honda Amaze . The etios also has a great boot space for long journeys. As you drive around 130 km a day you will need a efficient and powerful car so the Etios is the answer for you (I was actually a Honda Amaze owner before owning my Toyota Etios VD ) and the service of Honda is poor compared to Toyota . The Etios also feels way more powerful than the maze because of the light weight and good for cornering
  • Toyota Etios Gd Is Best For You
