Question 7

Q. Which is the best SUV amongst Kushaq, Seltos and Astor?

Answer

Choosing the right vehicle depends highly on one's preferences. All three Kushaq, Seltos and Astor are solid contenders in the segment. While Astor is a well-balanced, compact SUV with a good mix of design, quality, performance, and safety, the Seltos has impressed everyone so much that all we could complain about is a lack of under-thigh support and the rather stiff ride quality. Kushaq, on the other hand, is not overflowing with features it aims to win over buyers with its powerful and efficient petrol engines and smart packaging. The Astor’s 1.5-litre displacement is right up there with its rivals but pushes the least power at 110PS. While its torque figures are the same as the Seltos, it's the Kushaq that has the edge in this department, thanks to the turbocharged engine. If we talk about boot space Kia Seltos has definitely topped the list with its 433 litres boot space. But to sum it up, The Astor is managing to stand out in the segment with its looks, tech and upmarket cabin experience. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision.

Question 11

Q. How is the suspension in Kia Seltos? Is it better than Hyundai Creta 1.4 diesel?

Answer

As per my understanding, Creta suspension is more on softer side as compared to Seltos which is stiff. So you may feel more comfortable in creta on uneven roads but on the other hand Seltos gives you more enthuastic feel while pushing the accelerator as compared to Creat even though they have same engine specifiction but there is a difference of fine tunning.

Answer

Creta gives a car type riding feel where as Seltos give a sporty crossover feel

Question 12

Q. Which is the best variant to buy in Kia Seltos?

Answer

I own a 2021 Kia Seltos 1.4TGDI DCT model. In terms of performance it's one of the best I have driven. On open roads it can easily beat the likes of Innova, Fortuner and all big guys with its sheer speed and Dual clutch just makes you zoom past other cars while they figure to get the car in right gear. Power is in its dual clutch and turbo engine. The Dual clutch is the best, it's like someone is choosing the right gear for you constantly. Features wise one of the best and the 360 camera quality is on par with high end cars. I have not driven the diesel automatic on highway but it will not be as quick as the 1.4TGDI especially with torque converter. If you enjoy driving a good car this is the best you can get, the top end petrol variant. Mileage average I got is 13kmpl with half aggressive highway and half on eco mode in city combined. I will take that anyday with the performance the car is giving. I went for top end petrol because of its performance and dual clutch which I know is drivers best friend. I didn't choose diesel because the same engine is being offered from base variant of Sonet and all the way upto top end Seltos. There is no value for money in the top variant for diesel. You can get the same engine for much less cost.

Answer

Value for money buys1) basic variants HTE, both petrol & Diesel.2) mid variants HTK plus both petrol & Diesel.3) top variants HTX both petrol & Diesel.4) The top most variants HTX plus & GTX plus, both petrol & Diesel are the best, but not value for money.

Answer

Agreed all are in one or another single value for money even the highest model don't cross luxury limit to pay the tax for it watch out for long term review luster gone in many Chinese parts and the Corona the future of Kia???

Question 13

Q. Is there any waiting period for Kia Seltos?

Still there is ni discount. By march car will b ready and at discount will b available.

Answer

There is no waiting period for car. One of my friend bought the car and delivery was given in 2 days. There is sharp fall in sales of seltos. Dealers make people fool by saying earlier order got canceled and all. However there is now no charm for seltos. And wat i predict is by march it would b cash and carry with discounts.

Answer

I have booked Seltos Diesel on 10th September 2021, in Mumbai and almost after six months the car is not delivered. The reasons are given as the particular model is not manufactured yet. The other showrooms are calling and stating that we have the model ready but it has accessories worth 1.25 lac installed. Just wondering, are they selling accessories or finding alternate ways of selling cars to other customers?

Question 14

Q. What is the difference between 1.5 petrol and 1.4 turbocharged petrol engine of Kia Seltos?

Answer

If you are passionate about the power and thrill while driving a car then you should go for petrol 1.4 Ltr petrol which has Turbo changer which boosts the engine power when you need to throttle. But If, punchy engine is not your prime requirement then go for 1.5 Ltr petrol engine. Also pls note that the service cost of 1.4 ltr will be slightly more than 1.5 ltr engine due to turbo charger installed in it.

Answer

As you know dct is dual clutch tx this enables extremly fast changing of gears. its a gdi ie exremely rich fuel mixture (because of turbo ) sprayed into the cumbustion chamber, there is no input manifold this enables better performance. gdi also have their draw back. over all its fun also in a sober mode driving its a king. some have clocked 15 to 17 average on high way of course.

Answer

If you want the car to pull you back while extreme acceleration then you should go for 1.4 petrol turbo.1.5 petrol has a better mileage but you will not get that punch. I have personally bought 1.4 petrol Dct, it gives me abt 8-9kmpl in city but give me a thrill to drive.

Question 15

Q. There have been a lot of negative reviews for Seltos off late and this is really getting me confusing as to whether I should stick to Seltos or cancel the booking and opt for Creta, thus being safe?

Answer

Don’t cancel your booking. I have clocked 5800 km on my diesel 1.5 seltos and i have faced NO problems at all till date. The only problem with seltos is in case you meet with an accident then it will take some lil bit more time for spares to arrive in workshop but it is obvious as the brand is new. Seltos is perfect package according to me and iam happy with my Seltos. Even i had cancelled creta 1.4 crdi booking after seltos was launched. And iam very happy that i bought KIA SELTOS. Just go ahead for seltos without a second thought

Answer

For your information KIA Seltos and Hyundai Creta both are built on the same platform. If you are concerned about the crash test ratings then you should know that Creta would have performed similarly in the crash test due to the same build. So yeah, If you are looking for a safer option consider may be harrier or XUV 300

Answer

Plz don’t buy seltos . Now Indian crash test has given only 3 stars to seltos . you should surely go for creta.Even brezza is been given 4 stars . I have seltos GTK 2019 model . As soon as I saw the rating given in Indian crash test I feel bad for my decision.plz think before buying .

Question 16

Q. Which is better Kia Seltos petrol or diesel?

Answer

1) Diesel will have slightly more maintenance costs than petrol version, however this is offset by distance travelled over 15,000 km per year, AC usage, full load of passengers looking, luggage etc.2) However maintenance & servicing of DCT is expensive, because of the Nature of the components, high cost of spares, replacement, consumables of the DCT.3) Further DCT is a premium version & Naturally servicing & spares will be substantially higher, when compared to other versions.4) DCT variant is for premium segment, those who are willing to spend money for luxury, sporty feel, high power output. Those looking for economy should avoid DCT & gofor petrol or diesel. Also kia makes maximum margin on the DCT variant. 5) That said, I emphasize that DCT variant servicing & maintenance will be substantially higher, but it will not cost a bomb, like Audi, Skoda, Mercedes etc so test drive a DCT & if you love it, go for it, without regrets.

Answer

1) if you drive more than 15, 000 to 20,000 km per year go for the diesel.2) if your driving kilometers is less than 15000 per year go for the petrol.3) if you are addicted to the torque of diesel, get the diesel variant, irrespective of annual kilometers covered.4) if you are a connoisseur, to get maximum pleasure of driving & not bothered about the mileage or maintenance costs, go for the DCT ( 7 speed Dual clutch transmission) in Turbo petrol.Special Remarks, Assimilate the art of driving a DCT from Google ( Theory) & grasp the gist of it, before you test drive a DCT.

Answer

Question 17

Q. What about the sound system and type of speakers provided in Kia Seltos HTX? Is navigation system available in HTK model?

Answer

HI, I AM USING THE HTK MODEL SINCE 2 WEEKS AND THE SOUND SYSTEM IS VERY BAD AS THE SPEAKERS ARE FLAT AND I NEED TO CHANGE THEM.. RIGHTLY SAID BACK SPEAKERS ARE HARDLY HEARD. THE NAVIGATION CAN BE USED WITH ANDROID AUTO...I.E.. WHEN YOUR PHONE IS CONNECTED VIA USB PORT TO THE SYSTEM.HTX MUSIC SYSTEM IS ALSO SAME... AS I SAW ONE MORE HTX OWNER CHANGING THE SPEAKERS FROM THE SAME SHOP. ONLY MODELS FROM HTX+ AND ABOVE HAVE BOSE SYSTEM. :(

Answer

I am using HTX variant and the sound system is highly disappointing. No sound in back door speakers, sound is audible only when the sound bar is set at the maximum of 45. You won’t find any demo or video of this Arkamys system fitted in Kia Seltos anywhere online. Highly disappointing. Returning the car back.

Answer

Highly disappointed with the sound loudness... It needs to be tweeted... As rightly said u can only really hear it well once the volume is set at 45..i need to head to after market speakers now for better quality cause the current music output sucks big time.

Question 18

Question 19

Q. I’m planning to pick a KIA Seltos DCT, but these heating issues of the gearbox I hear really scares me. Can somebody put some light on this topic. Like is this the case with most DCT or is it a issue with the Seltos?

Answer

I) its a dry clutch DCT, No heating issues 100 %. 2) However most people are ignorant about the art of driving a DCT & end up with heating issues in extreme conditions & is due to their ignorance & not the fault of the car.3) I suggest you assimilate the art of driving a DCT ( Theory) from Google & put it into practice, while driving. There will be no heating issues at all.

Answer

It's not dry gear box. Oil sealed gearbox, over heating problem is soled & now they use minaral oil in gearbox instead of synthetic oil. This is in my knowledge. you can confirm with Volxwagen service center with out hesitation to clear your dought

Answer

Been 7 months i bought gtx plus turbo dct, no such issues fortunately no heating at all, took it for long trips also, no issues. Only problem rather a small one is the fuel efficiency, which is like 7 to 8 in city. Highway 13+. Biggest issue is service time and quality.
