Most Helpful Review

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.

Base Model, more waiting time

I booked the Kushaq Base Model Classic Variant almost 2 months ago, still on September 1st, 2024, they said that the company is not producing the cars now, and production has not started yet. So long time waiting even after booked earlier at the Indore location.

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.
