Most Helpful Review

Okay choice

Driving experience was not up to mark as we compared with Tata Tiago, Maruti and other entry-level car. Internal space was very good however build quality is not up to mark and not safe car for highway drive

Bad engineering, good looks

Don't buy this car, they don't have any customer service. The milage of the car is under 10. Only exteriors are looking good, but built quality is inferior. Delivery may take 100 days. Led experience is very bad. No service center to get car repaired.

Kia Seltos petrol vs diesel: Performance figures revealed

By Ninad Ambre11 May 2020

We've tested both, the HTX Plus 1.5 diesel manual and the GTX+ 1.4 petrol manual variants of the Kia Seltos. And, this is not a test to ascertain if the diesel contests with the petrol or vice-versa. But it’s crafted to give a buyer an idea of how quick the car is to accelerate and more importantly how it will sprint in the city and highway conditions.
