Most Helpful Review

It is not a competitor, not worth for the price.

The base variant with the 999cc engine is not worth its price when compared to other cars in the same price range. Many competitors offer more powerful engines and better performance.

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.

Nissan Tekton 1.3 Turbo Petrol DCT First Drive Review

By Sagar Bhanushali21 Jul 2026

As a family SUV, the Tekton leaves a positive first impression. It is built on an already proven foundation, and that's perhaps its biggest strength.

New Kia Seltos First Drive Review

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.
