I am a proud owner of Kia Seltos Diesel HTX MT and have till now covered more than 20000 kms across all terrains and that too within a year.
Pros:
Excellent Mileage (18-20 Highway and 15-16 City) just need to be a bit nimble footed to extract the most out of the car. Even if you are driving enthusiastically then too car delivers 15-16 on highway
Driving Experience:
This car is not an SUV but more like a car and have excellent steering feel and feedback. High speed stability and maneuvering confidence is a boon
Features:
Even though being a mid level variant the features are still class leading when you compare it with its rivals or one segment above. 10.25 touch screen display, TPMA, auto AC, Cruise control etc to name a few along with sunroof are just amazing. Car boasts of whole list of safety features as ABS, EBD, 2 Airbags etc along with 3 star NCAP rating provides sound safety.
CONS:
Suspension:
Comparing with direct rival / brother, suspension is on the harder side hence bigger bumps can be felt as it doesn't absorb to passengers comfort. Stiff suspension is a driver's delight but sometimes family members tend to complain.
Headlight:
Crown Jewel LEDs are good but the throw is scattered hence under yellow illumination the presence of our light cannot be felt. Also during monsoon these LEDs tend to capture moisture and eventually reduce its throw.
Other than these minor niggles rest the car is just too good to resist. It is a head turner and just stands out within old fashioned SUVs currently in the market.
