Cost cutting and engine not up to mark.

Drove the SX(O) Diesel Manual variant and i must say the engine feels lesser tourney than even an Ecopsort and XUV300 which are supposed to be smaller sub 4m SUVs. The biggest bummer is Hyundai's cost-cutting in a 20 lacs car by not providing illuminated power window buttons even in the top-end variant, what a crying shame!

Perfect city car Taigun 1.0 AT topline

If you are looking for the compact city crossover then AT 1.0 topline is the perfect fit. It has all the features: Ventilated seats Cruise control Digital cockpit Sun roof ( I am scared of panaromic sunroof due to Indian weather and safety aspects) Wireless charging 6 airbags and safety features World Renowned tsi engine Decent Mileage for AT car Extremely good to look Paddle shifters If you are looking for mini-truck size diesel cars than look elsewhere.

Kia Seltos petrol vs diesel: Performance figures revealed

By Ninad Ambre1 year ago

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.
