Kia Seltos [2023-2024]

I bought the Seltos 2023 Facelift when it was newly launched as it was way ahead of the competition. I bought the HTX variant with the 1.5 Naturally Aspirted Petrol Engine. It is a very good car and I’ve driven it more than 15k kms in it’s first year.

Pros:1. Styling: easily the best looking car in the segment and the update with the connecting taillights only enhances its looks.2. Interior: Interior design, materials used, and the comfort of the cabin are definitely from a class above. 3. Comfort: There is enough space and the seats are extremely comfortable for long journeys. 4. Utilitarian Engine: While the engine isn’t the most powerful, it provides good mileage and is very smooth and silent.5. Features: in terms of the features offered, it is not only class-leading but also better than cars a segment above. Name any feature: 360 camera, ADAS, Ventilated Seats, it has it

Cons:

1. Build Quality: while the car has a oot of safety features, a strong body shell isn’t one of them. It is easy to dent the car.
2. Performance: while the 1.5 NA engine is smooth, it’s not powerful enough. I would suggest the Turbo engine for driving enthusiasts.

The sales and the after-sales experience that I have had in Lucknow has been great. The Sales Advisor was very honest and got me the car quickly. In fact, I didn’t even purchase any accessories. And the service too has been great with regular feedback taken regarding the same.
