Amazing Car

The Hyundai Verna manual offers a smooth 1.5L engine, good mileage (~20 km/l), a spacious cabin, and many features. It’s comfortable for city and highway drives, but ground clearance is slightly low for rough roads.

Absolutely worth it

I recently bought a new Kia Seltos and I’m happy with it so far. It looks modern, drives comfortably in the city and on the highway, and the tech is easy to use. Fuel economy has been solid and the interior is practical for daily use. It’s not the most powerful or premium feeling, but for the price it offers good value. I’m satisfied with my purchase.

By Sagar Bhanushali23 Dec 2025

Does the new Seltos do enough to justify the generational upgrade? More importantly, has Kia finally addressed the ride quality concerns? We spent some time with it to find out.
