Kia Seltos Specifications - Detailed Features, Engine, Mileage @91Wheels

The Seltos has been a great start for Kia in India. Competing with its own cousin, the Hyundai Creta, this car went onto create records of sorts and helped give its parent company a very good head start in India. The Seltos really is an allrounder that offers you everything you need - we do agree the higher versions are expensive but they come feature loaded with segment first offerings. But for starters, what gets your attention is the design. This looks modern, sporty and bling at the same time with the GT Line versions winning our hearts.&nbsp;

The cabin is well laid out and though offers less space than cars like the Hector and Harrier, quality of materials is great. You are pampered well too. Under the hood, the Seltos offers you three different engine options - one diesel and two petrol and all of these come with both manual and automatic gearbox options. You can&rsquo;t simply go wrong with the combination here. And yes, from day number one, the Seltos has been BS6 compliant right from the word go.&nbsp;

It also drives well, with a good balance between ride and handling. This will keep most buyers happy though we would have loved to see an AWD for the Indian market as well. But as of now, for the compact 4m+ SUV market, the Seltos remains a top choice. But if you are planning for one, do have a look at the all-new Hyundai Creta too.

Excellent mix of features, great engines & good dynamics. Looks badass too!

The mileage of Kia Seltos in petrol variants is 0 and in diesel variant is 20.8 kmpl as per the ARAI. However, the city mileage of Kia Seltos might vary depending upon your driving style, road conditions, traffic conditions and weather. 

No, Kia Seltos is not offered with an automatic gearbox in India

There are Hyundai Creta, Hyundai Verna, Honda City cars competing with Kia Seltos.

The exchange value of Kia Seltos is dependant upon various factors, like number of KM driven, Years, car condition, insurance claims.

Every month carmakers offer discount offers to lure the customers and increase their market share. This time too Kia is no different and the latest discount offers for November 2020 reach as high as Rs 2 lakh for some models.

Latest Kia Discount Offers For November 2020 - Details

The Kia Seltos is one of the most popular cars in its segment. It was Kia Motors India who made us Indians believe that a 20 lakh rupee car can stand in the top 10 sales list. With over 1,00,000 sales bagged already within a year, the Seltos is acing its segment and so does its cousin brother - the Hyundai Creta. But why Seltos is so popular and what downers you should keep in mind before owning one? We tell you that and more in the pros and cons of the Kia Seltos.



<h2>Pros:</h2>



<h3>Looks Astonishing</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Kia-Seltos-Anniversary-Edition-1-2.jpg" alt="Kia Seltos Pros and Cons" class="wp-image-23320"/></figure>



When Kia first showcased the SP2i concept at the 2018 Auto Expo, we all had our eyes stuck to the futuristic design. We all wondered that will this design make its way to the production model and it did. The production model is very similar and equally lovable. Be it the tiger-nose grille or the ice-cube LEDs, the Seltos brings in exclusivity and novelty to the table.



<h3>Efficient and Refined Powertrains</h3>



The Seltos is offered with a lot of engine options which can be had with a lot of gearbox options. If you want the ease of driving, Kia has the 1.5 IVT, if you want an affordable engine, you have the 1.5 MT, if you want frugality, you have diesel MT and the enthusiasts are given the 1.4 DCT combo which is very tempting. However, the DCT which Kia and Hyundai use is the dry-clutch type and that won't work in traffic very effectively. All in all, Kia has one Seltos for every kind of buyer.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Kia-Seltos-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19353"/></figure>



<h3>Loaded to the Brim</h3>



The Kia Seltos is undoubtedly the most feature-loaded car in its segment and most of them are really useful. We get a massive 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple Car Play, wireless charging, smart air purifier, 360-degree parking camera, BOSE audio, sound mood lighting, UVO connect and much more. Interesting features like electric driver's seat, front parking sensors, heads-up display, ventilated seats are also on offer.



<h3>Great Quality Interiors and Space</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/seltos-cabin-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8264"/></figure>



The interior quality of the Kia Seltos is great overall with the use of soft touch plastics on the dashboard. The dashboard layout is sporty and the red stitching on the GT Line is very appealing too. The seat cushioning on the Seltos is great and the ventilation function is a boon in summers.

<h2>Cons:</h2>



<h3>Not Great on Comfort</h3>



The Kia Seltos looks sporty and even the suspension setup is more towards sportiness. The ride isn't cushiony and it moves a bit on big bumps, however, it's no where uncomfortable. On the other hand, the Hyundai Creta offers a much more comfortable ride and more spacious cabin too. So if you crave for comfort over sportiness, you know which one to choose.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/kia-seltos-official-details-revealed-4-1565085493.jpg" alt="Kia Seltos Pros and Cons" class="wp-image-13621"/></figure>



<h3>Lack of Safety, Poorly equipped base trims</h3>



As we all are aware, Kia Seltos has recently received a poor 3 star rating in the crash test conducted by Global NCAP. Customers had expected at least 4 stars and a stable bodyshell but none of that has been attained in favour of the Seltos. Furthermore, Kia has poorly equipped the base variants of the Seltos and features like rear-adjustable headrests and tilt &amp; telescopic steering are missing in lower trims. These basic features are standard in Ford EcoSport despite being a car from a lower segment.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/seltos.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-25638"/></figure>



<h3>Lack of Wide Reach </h3>



Kia Motors India is still growing in the Indian market and trying to increase its presence across the length and breath of India. Till then, the reach of the Kia service centers is limited and the Hyundai Creta is a safer bet if you live in a Tier II or Tier III city. Kia will still take some time to widen its reach in the smaller cities and towns whereas Hyundai offers hassle-free servicing experience.

<h3>Some Missing Features </h3>



While there is no doubt that the Seltos is a feature-loaded SUV and it had all of us awe-stuck at the launch. But with the arrival of the Hyundai Creta, some features make their absence felt inside the cabin. Features like part-digital instrument cluster, paddle shifters and a big panoramic sunroof should have been offered with the Seltos given how close both these SUVs are.



Those are the pros and cons of the very-popular Kia Seltos. Do you have any more to share? Drop them in comments and also become a part of interesting automotive discussions by clicking <a href="https://chat.whatsapp.com/IZpi9fnhu60Ecv3pFLv2Yo">here</a>

Kia Seltos Pros and Cons - Why Should You Buy this Over the Creta?

One of the most successful mid-size SUVs in the Indian market is the Kia Seltos. The South Koren carmakers made its debut with the Seltos last year and this SUV became a blockbuster. It was also one of the first mass segment SUV to come with a BS6 compliant diesel engine. However, now reports are coming up that the diesel variants of the Kia Seltos manufactured between October 1, 2019, to March 13, 2020, might have a faulty fuel pump.



Before we go any further and bring you all the details of this faulty fuel pump in diesel Kia Seltos, make sure you are a member of our <a href="https://t.me/joinchat/VgWABBkUASe-iAiMajaRRg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="exclusive 91Wheels Telegram (opens in a new tab)">exclusive 91Wheels Telegram</a> group where we share the latest information about Indian Automotive Industry.

This is basically a service procedure which Kia knows about. This issue started when most of the owners complained of vibrations and upon checking this fault was checked. Now, Kia is offering a free replacement to all if they have a faulty part. If there's a hole in the lower end of the filter or crack in the plastic at the cylindrical head then the fuel pump is damaged.

If any of this issue is found then the fuel pump will be replaced without any extra charges and will come under warranty. However, if there's nothing to be found then nothing will e replaced. The adverse effects of a faulty fuel pump result in starting trouble, low pickup and vehicle vibrations.



The 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged diesel unit of the Kia Seltos generates 113 bhp at 4000 RPM with a peak torque of 250 Nm at 1500 RPM. This was the first BS6 diesel engine in India for the mass segment cars. This engine is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard and also gets an optional 6-speed torque converter unit.

Kia My Convenience Aftersales Initiative Launched - Check All Details Here!

Global NCAP has released the crash test results for the year 2020 and it is rather shocking. The 2020 crash test results from Global NCAP comes with three cars - Maruti Suzuki S-Presso, Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and Kia Seltos. The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso got Zero stars, the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios got Two stars and the Kia Seltos got Three stars in adult safety.



<h3>Maruti Suzuki S-Presso</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/S-Presso.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-25636"/></figure>



The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso has got a shocking Zero star rating in the crash test conducted by Global NCAP under the #SaferCarsForIndia initiative. Along with the Zero stars in Adult safety, the S-Presso only managed to get two stars for child safety. The S-presso got 0 points out of 17 points for adult safety and 13.84 points out of 49 points for child safety. The bodyshell and the footwell area were found unstable and couldn't bear further loadings. The model of the S-presso was not equipped with passenger airbag and seatbelt pre-tensioners.



<h3>Hyundai Grand-i10 Nios </h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Nios.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-25637"/></figure>

The Hyundai Grand-i10 Nios was also tested by Global NCAP and the results are not great. The Gi10 Nios secured Two stars in adult safety rating and two stars in child safety rating. Talking about points, the Nios gets 7.05 points out of 17 for adult safety and 15 points out of 49 for child safety. The bodyshell and the footwell area were found unstable and couldn't bear further loadings. It comes as a shock as the cheaper Hyundai Santro also got 2 stars and even the ratings for both adult and child safety are close to similar. This reinforces the fact that both the Nios and Santro shares a common platform.



<h3>Kia Seltos</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/seltos.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-25638"/></figure>



This is the car which took the market by storm and curated a lot of hype in the Indian market. Sadly, the crash test results are nowhere close to the hype as the Seltos just got three starts in adult safety and two stars for child safety. Talking about the points, the Seltos scored 8.03 out of 17 points for adult safety and 15 out of 49 points for child safety. The bodyshell and the footwell area were found unstable and couldn't bear further loadings. Just to draw some context, the Tiago - despite being from a lower segment of cars - scored Four stars for adult safety and Three stars for child safety which are more than what Seltos scored.

Summing it up, the crash test results of 2020 via Global NCAP are not at all satisfactory. The S-Presso failed the test by scoring Zero stars whereas the G-i10 Nios scored just Two stars. The disappointment comes out in the case of the Seltos as the safety rating is much lower than what we had expected and Kia and all other manufacturers should not skimp on safety.

Global NCAP 2020 Results Out - S-Presso Gets Zero, Nios Gets Two and the Seltos Gets Three Stars

Kia Motors India received a great response for the Seltos in the Indian market and it was sold in huge numbers. On the other part, the CNG market in India is growing owing to a lot of reasons like low emissions, better fuel efficiency and affordability. A lot of people living in metro cities opt for CNG there days and we have the first Kia Seltos to have a CNG kit installed.

This Kia Seltos has got a Zavoli Bora S32 8-injector sequential CNG kit. The 8-injector CNG kit offers smooth acceleration and great efficiency along with reliability as well. The kit is installed by Maruti Auto Gas and the video shows various cars with CNG kits installed. The video doesn't have the installation process of the CNG kit but a look into the engine bay.

The Kia Seltos comes with a good 433 litres of boot space and the CNG kit doesn't take much space inside. With the CNG kit in place, there is a generous amount of space left for small luggage. The cost of the CNG kit is not mentioned in the video but it will cost around Rs 50,000. Moreover, if you want to get a CNG kit installed in your car, consult with the RTO first as many people faced issue in registering the CNG kit with their cars and RTOs halted the registration for CNG kits.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screenshot-70.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-25382"/></figure>

Talking about the Kia Seltos, this one is the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine which churns out 115PS and 144 Nm of torque. This engine comes mated to a 6-speed manual and 7-step CVT. The one in this video is the 6-speed manual and the CNG level indicator is mounted next to the gear lever. Opting for the CNG kit can decrease the running costs drastically and even big sedans like the Skoda Octavia are coming with factory-fitted CNG powertrains globally. We may start to see more carmakers giving the CNG powertrain factory-fitted in higher segments as well.

First Kia Seltos in India with CNG Kit Installed

Mahindra is testing 2021 XUV500 extensively across the length and breadth of India. Extensive testing brings out new spy shots every day and this one shows the new all-LED headlights of the 2021 Mahindra XUV500. The same headlight unit will make the way to production in the top variants. The lights are visible and inspired by the XUV300. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/2021-mahindra-xuv500-led-light-drl-spied-3-1068x601-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-25373"/></figure>



The test mule is wrapped in camouflage but the front headlights are visible revealing some key details. Mahindra has opted for the reflector-based all-LED headlights for the 2021 XUV500, at least for the top variants. However, the test mule seems to have halogen bulbs inside the cluster and not LEDs. The headlight unit gets a twin-pot design and the LED DRL is boomerang-shaped. As seen in the images, the boomerang-shaled DRLs also double-up as turn indicators. In between the headlights is the Cheetah- inspired grille used in many Mahindra SUVs. The grille will feature sharp chrome slats which mimic the teeth of a Cheetah.

Moreover, the design of the new 2021 XUV500 will be much sleeker than the outgoing one which comes with a bulbous design. The front profile will get extended LED headlights - similar to the XUV300, whereas the door handles will be flush-fitting. Mahindra will also improve the look and feel of side and rear profile by adding diamond-cut alloy wheels and LED taillights. Looking closely to the spy shot also reveals the presence of ADAS system which is covered by cloth lower on the bumper.

Some interior spy shots also revealed the twin-connected screens - one for the driver and other is the infotainment. We have seen a similar design in Mercedes cars and the 2021 XUV500 seems to draw inspiration from that. One more similarity is the presence of a rotary dial to control the infotainment system. Other features include a big panoramic sunroof, flat-bottom steering wheel, automatic climate control and more.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/2021-mahindra-xuv500-led-light-drl-spied-1-1068x601-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-25374"/></figure>



Coming to the powertrain options, 2021 Mahindra XUV500 will come with the same engines we get with the Thar. A 2.2-litre diesel and 2.0-litre mStallion turbo petrol will power the new XUV500 and higher trims will also come with automatic transmission and 4WD. The 2.0-litre turbo petrol will produce as high as 190hp and 400 Nm of torque, however, legitimate power figures of the diesel engine are not known yet. Mahindra is expected to launch the 2021 XUV500 sometime in the middle of the year 2021 and it will rival SUVs like the Tata Gravitas, upcoming Jeep Grand Compass, Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace and more.

Kia Seltos Anniversary Edition Leaked and Spied at Dealership - Pictures and All Details

Kia Seltos has always been a popular SUV and a good alternative for those who are not a fan of new 2020 Hyundai Creta's design.

First things first, on the outside, the alloy wheels of the mid-spec variant have been replaced with the GT line ones. Also, there is a faux diffuser at the front and rear bumper which makes the look sporty. The owner has also used the chrome elements on the window line, door handles, rear strip and more places. At the rear, the reflector has been given a LED treatment.

The modification of this mid-spec model has been done in such a way that it looks like the top-spec model. Both the headlights and taillights have been replaced and given the LED treatment. Even the fog lights have been changed to ice cube ones. There are illuminated door sills which further enhance the look of the SUV. You also get to see the roof rails.

The modified Seltos looks like this </figcaption></figure>



The exterior looks are not finished as it also sees the OEM GT line grille for that sporty appeal and the chrome knurling on the front bumper. The same is seen on the recently launched Sonet too which is a rival to the Hyundai Venue. 



Sharing details on the interiors then it receives damping on all four doors for that better sound quality. The speakers have been replaced with Rockford punch series. It also gets moulded flooring. The owner has also opted for Android stereo which offers Voice Command feature. This car now also gets a front camera which eases out the parking in tight spaces.

This Kia Seltos automatic is the diesel auto which gets a 1.5L turbocharged motor. It generates 113 bhp with a peak torque of 250 Nm. It gets a 6-speed auto unit. 



Verdict



If you ask us then the aftermarket work worth Rs 2 lakh is just bizarre. Considering it is the HTK+ model which costs Rs 13.69 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi, the owner could certainly opt for the HTX+ which is just priced at Rs 16.49 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. 



With this, you get an electric sunroof, power-adjustable drivers; seat, tyre pressure monitoring system, automatic climate control, front parking sensors, all the telematic, ventilated front seats and among other such features.

This CBU from Volkswagen is available only in a single variant with a 1.5L turbo petrol engine only. It gets all the bells and whistles and is safety equipped too.

The baby American SUV lost quite its market with the new rivals. However, to keep up the craze of the sunroof in India, it's Limited Plus Petrol AT model gets a huge panoramic sunroof. It's priced at Rs 21.95 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. 



Skoda Karoq



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/91-SKODA-KAROQ.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13290"/></figure>



The most expensive SUV of the lot is the Karoq which gets the same mechanicals as the T-Roc. It is priced at Rs 24.99 lakh and comes only in a single variant. It gets LED headlights, taillights, 17-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, virtual cockpit are some the features Karoq receives.

Top Mid-Size SUVs With Sunroof: Hyundai Creta To Skoda Kamiq

Kia Motors India recently launched the Kia Sonet and it offered a lot of features unseen in the sub-compact SUV segment. Good features come at a steep price and that made the overall deal a little sour for the Sonet. As the GTX+ AT and DCT prices are also revealed, the Sonet inches into the category of the Seltos. Kia Sonet is great in many ways but space is not one of them. If you want a family SUV at a budget of Rs 16 lakh, which one is a deal for you? We find just that in the Kia Sonet GTX+ Vs Kia Seltos HTK+ spec comparison. 



<h4>Kia Sonet GTX+ Vs Seltos HTK+ - Design and Dimensions</h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Kia-Sonet-Unveiled-3-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19448"/></figure>



We don't think anyone would disagree that the Sonet is one of best-looking cars of its segment if not the best. The signature Tiger nose grille and all-LED headlights have worked for the Sonet to make it look stunning. Some may call the rear a little "busy" or "overdone" but it doesn't look odd by any means. The alloy wheels on the GT line - the one we are comparing - looks great and suits the design of the car.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/06-d.png" alt="Kia Sonet GTX+ Vs Seltos HTK+ images" class="wp-image-21768"/></figure>



The Kia Seltos is the most stunning looking SUV of its segment and it is only of the many reasons for its success. The connected LED DRLs at the front atop the Tiger nose grille give it a premium car appeal and the GT line is the best looker. However, the HT line of the Seltos may get projector headlamps and plain alloy wheels but it doesn't look under-equipped.



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td>Dimensions</td><td>Sonet</td><td>Seltos</td></tr><tr><td>Length</td><td>3995mm</td><td>4315mm</td></tr><tr><td>Width</td><td>1790mm</td><td>1800mm</td></tr><tr><td>Height</td><td>1642mm</td><td>1645mm</td></tr><tr><td>Wheelbase</td><td>2500mm</td><td>2610mm</td></tr><tr><td>Boot space</td><td>392L</td><td>433L</td></tr><tr><td>Fuel tank </td><td>45L</td><td>50L</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/kia-sonet-5.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-21355"/></figure>



With the table in place, it is obvious that the Seltos sports considerably bigger dimensions than the Sonet. While the width and height are more or less similar of both the cars, the Seltos excels in terms of length, wheelbase and boot space. Surprisingly, despite being smaller, the Sonet offers good width and height when compared to the Seltos.

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/18-d.png" alt="Kia Sonet GTX+ Vs Seltos HTK+ images" class="wp-image-21767"/></figure>



<h4>Kia Sonet GTX+ Vs Seltos HTK+ - Interiors and Features</h4>



Kia Sonet is a sub-compact SUV and at that price, you can't expect premium interiors. There are no soft touch materials used on the dashboard, however, we do get leather-wrapped elbow rests. The dashboard layout of the Kia Sonet is good and practical but the connected 10.25-inch touchscreen and instrument console may seem big to many customers. Moving to the features, the Sonet comes loaded with some great features like drive/traction modes, ventilated seats, automatic climate control, sound mood lighting, six airbags, TPMS, BOSE sound system and a lot more.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Kia-Sonet-Unveiled-2-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19449"/></figure>



Coming to the Kia Seltos, as it is a bigger car, gets a bigger cabin space. The dashboard also gets leather wrapped but only in top trims. The HTK+ gets the plastic finish but that feels premium too. However, as the HTK+ is a lower trim, it misses out on automatic climate control, LED headlights, sound mood lighting, rear adjustable headrests, electric sunroof and a lot more. We get 8.0-inch touchscreen system with Android Auto and Apple Car Play, cruise control, keyless entry and go, R16 alloy wheels, rear sunblinds, height adjustable seatbelts and a lot more.

<h4>Kia Sonet GTX+ Vs Seltos HTK+ - Engine and Performance</h4>



Both the Kia Sonet and Kia Seltos offer an array of powertrain options. However, the Sonet takes the level a notch above by offering iMT transmission. As we are comparing the top spec GTX+ of the Sonet to the HTK+ of the Seltos, the only fair comparison between both the cars is 1.5-litre diesel MT/AT. The Sonet gets the same engine in two states of tune - 100 PS MT (WGT) and 115 PS AT (VGT).



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Kia-Sonet-Unveiled-4-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19453"/></figure>



If you go with diesel manual, the Seltos offers 15 PS more power and 10 Nm more torque. However, as the diesel AT combo is same in both the cars, we get 155PS and 250 Nm in Sonet is well. The Sonet may return more fuel efficiency as it is lighter and the service and reliability will be more or less the same.

<h4>Kia Sonet GTX+ Vs Seltos HTK+ - Price and Verdict</h4>



The Kia Sonet is a feature-packed and Kia hasn't left any stone unturned to make it a success. However, the Kia Sonet is priced at a premium and comes at Rs 1-1.5 lakh premium over its rivals. The price is the only caveat for the Sonet and the size and space it offers at this price is not easily justifiable. That's where the Seltos comes into the picture, the Seltos is a much bigger car with better ride quality and space. With around 70,000 - 80,000 premium, you can get the Seltos HTK+ which may offer less in terms of features but offers a one-segment above experience and mainly the space and comfort.

Apart from this, the car scored SUPERIOR ratings in the front crash prevention test. In the American market, the Kia Seltos is powered by a turbocharged 1.6-L and a 2.0-L naturally aspirated engine. The same engines are also seen on the Hyundai Kona. The buyers can opt for a CVT or an 8-speed DCT gearbox based upon the engine they choose. 



However, it is worth noting that the US-spec Kia Seltos is based on a completely different platform which also underpins the Hyundai Kona in the American market. In India, the Kia Seltos shares its chassis and powertrain options with the Hyundai Creta and comes with safety features such as six airbags, hill start assist, ABS and EBD, ESC, etc.

Kia Sonet Brochure Leaked Ahead Of Launch - Check All Features and Specs Here

Kia Seltos is one of the popular mid-size SUVs and it is no doubt that it once beat Hyundai Creta in sales. Kia Motors launched the Seltos in 2019 and ever since its launch the SUV has only garnered success and has been the talk of the town because of its design and features loaded up to the brim. We have shown you several modified Kia Seltos but this one gets a bizarre yellow wrap. Another adjective can be Outlandish. 



This modified Kia Seltos gets wrapped in a yellow shade and this is the top-spec GTX Plus AT variant. The GT variant comes with mesh black grille at the front, gets front and rear bumper diffuser and red accents run in front and rear diffuser and also in the side profile.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Modified-Kia-Seltos-1.jpg" alt="Modified Kia Seltos Yellow Image" class="wp-image-17907"/></figure>



The owner has opted to wrap the SUV in yellow shade but has not opted for contrast black roof to match the combination. Maybe in the near future once he sees the response. Being the top of the line variant this one gets 17-inch machine-cut alloy wheels, LED Headlights with Icecube foglights so it increases the aesthetics of the car. Had it been the base model then the wrap wouldn't have done justice to the SUV.

This is the diesel variant so it gets a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine under the hood. It produces 113 bhp with a peak torque of 250 Nm and gets a 6-speed AT gearbox. For manual, a 6-speed stick shift is standard. In our opinion, if the owner went for aftermarket alloy wheels in black colour, contrast black colour on the roof and ORVMs then the Seltos been looked good and aesthetically pleasing. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Modified-Kia-Seltos-1-1.jpg" alt="Modified Kia Seltos Yellow Image" class="wp-image-17908"/></figure>



Rest everything on the SUV remains intact like the chrome treatment on the front grille, window garnish, door handles and the rear profile where it adjoins the taillights. The owner has also opted for aftermarket door guards and door visors.

On the inside, the GT line continues with all-black treatment with red contrast stitching and features like electric sunroof, automatic climate control, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, 10.25-inch touchscreen unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and UVO connect. It also gets Bose eight-speaker sound system for quality audio. The front passenger seats are ventilated. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Modified-Kia-Seltos-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-17909"/></figure>



Safety features on the Seltos include Six airbags, 360-degree camera, 8.0-inch heads up display, ABS with EBD, all four disc brakes, hill-start assist, brake assist, a tyre pressure monitoring system, front parking sensors and among others. 



Kia Seltos competes with the likes of Hyundai Creta, Nissan Kicks, Tata Harrier, Mahindra XUV500, MG Hector. The prices of Kia Seltos range from Rs 9.99 lakh to Rs 17.34 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi.

Modified Kia Seltos Looks Outlandish In This Yellow Wrap - Yayy Or Nayy?

Kia Motors India is doing really well in the Indian market. The Seltos was the first car of the Korean carmaker in India and it marked big milestones. Then we saw the launch of the extravagant Carnival which also curated its own segment and fanbase in India. Kia is coming up with the <a href="https://www.91wheels.com/news/production-spec-kia-sonet-spied-in-india/">Sonet compact SUV</a> this which will be the third car from the brand. Thanks to Hyundai's brand image, we trust on Kia blindly but does Kia offer affordable service? We have explained the service cost for the Kia Seltos below.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Kia-Seltos-Image.jpg" alt="Kia Seltos service cost " class="wp-image-867"/></figure>



We have taken two service intervals of 30,000km and 50,000km for reference here. Like most other cars, the Seltos also has a service interval of 10,000km or 1 year, whichever is earlier. 



<h4>Seltos 1.5L petrol MT/IVT</h4>



The prices you see here are indicative including labour charges but without GST. To know the actual amount, you can contact your nearest Kia dealership. The 30,000/3-year service of the Kia Seltos 1.5L petrol MT will cost Rs 3,702 without taxes. The amount includes air filter, engine oil, engine oil filter and labour charges costing Rs 253, Rs 1,189, Rs 360 and Rs 1,900 respectively. The service cost of the IVT variant of the Seltos 1.5L petrol is similar to the manual trims.

<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td>Model / Interval</td><td>1.5L Petrol</td><td>1.5L Diesel</td><td>1.4L Turbo Petrol</td></tr><tr><td>30,000 km/ 3 years</td><td>Rs 3,702</td><td>Rs 4,033</td><td>Rs 3,658</td></tr><tr><td>50,000 km/ 5 years</td><td>Rs 4,220</td><td>Rs 4,616</td><td>Rs 4,233</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h4>Seltos 1.5L diesel MT/AT Service Cost</h4>



The Seltos 1.5L diesel seems to be much affordable than what we thought. The 30,000km/3-year service costs Rs 4,033 and 50,000/5-year service costs Rs 4,616 and the latter one just gets engine coolant over the 3-year service. The 5-year service includes engine oil, engine oil filter, engine coolant, air filter and labour charges costing Rs 1,502, Rs 360, Rs 583, Rs 271 and Rs 1,900 respectively. The service cost of the automatic trims is similar to the manual ones. If you compare, the diesel Seltos demands a small premium of Rs 331 and Rs 396 over the 1.5 petrol service costs. This is impressive!

<h4>Seltos 1.4L Turbo Petrol MT/DCT Service Cost</h4>



Kia Seltos 1.4L turbo petrol is the most powerful engine of the Seltos range with 140hp and despite that, it will set you back cheaper than the 115hp diesel for the service costs. The 30,000km/3-year service of the 1.4L will cost you Rs 3,658 and 50,000km/5-year service will cost you Rs 4,233. Just like in case of the diesel engine, the 5-year service will include engine coolant plus normal consumables and parts.



The 5-year service includes engine oil, air filter, engine oil filter, coolant and labour charges which will cost Rs 1,315, Rs 271, Rs 172, Rs 575 and Rs 1,900 respectively. The DCT variants of the Seltos 1.4L will cost you similar to the manual trims for the given intervals.

Kia Seltos Electric SUV Launch Officially Confirmed For 2020 - All Details

We have often shared images and videos of the modified interiors of several cars but this time it is of the highest selling mid-size SUV, Kia Seltos. The SUV has now become one prominent car in the Indian automotive industry. No, we are not just mentioning about its good looks and multiple engine options but then this mid-size SUV blew up Hyundai Creta's sales in a few months just after it was launched. 



So in this article, we will be telling you about the modified interiors of Kia Seltos which are done in top-notch quality and are also unique. We say it because it now gets a Galaxy starlight roof like the one we have seen in Rolls Royce. Sound cool, eh?

We have known to this fact that the Seltos receives either all-black treatment with red contrast stitching for GT models or the dual-tone for HTX and HTX+. The sad part is that the base models get a single-tone black colour which looks sporty but some people opt for aftermarket modification and to enhance the looks of the car they go to further extents. That is the case with this Seltos here! Don't worry, it looks good!

Starting off with the colour scheme the SUV then the interiors receives a dual-tone option of the black and beige scheme. All four door panels get leather soft feel coating which is finished in beige along with high gloss wooden panels on doors. The finish to detail is such that the all-four power window panel receives high gloss piano black treatment. 



Upon moving towards the dashboard the wooden panel is spread all over it and that the piano black finish treatment is given to stereo panel along with gear lever and HVAC panels. Hinting on the manual controls we think this might be the base trim of the Seltos. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Kia-Seltos-Interiors-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-13619"/></figure>



The upholstery gets the same leather soft-feel coating in beige colour and the same connect with the pillars. The steering wheel is also wrapped in leather which looks just like factory fitted one. This interior modification looks surreal and is so fit to finish that you won't realise this is a base model except when you notice there are manual HVAC controls and no electric sunroof.

Kia Seltos Interiors Modified And Gets Rolls Royce Like Starlight Roof

Kia Seltos is one BADASS mid-size SUV. Nope, we don't say it but its tagline itself portrays the image and then the sales number. Ever since the SUV has been launched, its sales have usually been the highest in the segment and have even beaten the popular Hyundai Creta. The design appeals to many people and it provides loads of features. Today, we will cover a total of 5 badass aftermarket alloy wheels design that suits the Kia Seltos even better! 



Before we proceed further, Kia Motors itself provides 17-inch machine-cut alloy wheels, however, we have some of the aftermarket options which comes with 20-inch too. Let's have a look at some of these designs which are available across India



20-inch RPM Wheels By Velocity Tyres

Finished in silver machined one this 7-spoke 20-inch alloy wheel looks prefect on the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Kia Seltos (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CA0ogK4FARz/" target="_blank">Kia Seltos</a>. This one is a top-end model which gets LED headlight design and DRLs. The silver finished alloy wheels looks fantastic with the pearl white Seltos and does justice to the design. The only downside is that the suspension will rule out in a few years if the SUV is not driven on proper roads. Well, it is the customers wish who want to modify their SUV and we think that it looks super cool.

The design is similar to the 20-incher but these sit on 19-inch and RPM wheels. The five-spoke design looks better and it is not about the looks but these are even easier to maintain. Of course, the ride quality deteriorates but that does not stop the customer from getting these fancy shoes.

As seen in the price list above, Kia has bumped up prices of most of the versions. This is done to accommodate the added features that are shown below. Even then, the 2020 Kia Seltos remained a good value buy and we are sure the company will continue to get in new customers.

That said, the new 2020 Creta is one well rounded product too. Coming back to the Seltos, Kia says the updated version is Smarter, Safer, More Appealing and Convenient. This is mainly down to the 10 new-age, innovative features including new voice assist commands.

In a nutshell, 8 existing features from top variants (like the sunroof) have been extended to lower variants as seen in the box here. Further, Seltos UVO connected car features have now been increased to 50+ including Smart Watch connectivity and added Voice commands. This will definitely appeal to younger buyers we say.

We have already compared the fuel-economy of Nissan Kicks BS6 with its rivals and now since its price is out, we are updating the article with the BS6-compliant Ex-showroom price of the 2020 Nissan Kicks, Hyundai Creta 2020, Kia Seltos and the MG Hector. 



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td>Price</td><td>Kicks BS6</td><td>Creta 2020</td><td>Seltos</td><td>MG Hector</td></tr><tr><td>Petrol Manual</td><td>Rs. 9.49 lakhs - Rs. 13.89 lakhs</td><td>Rs. 9.99 lakhs - Rs. 13.46 lakhs</td><td>Rs. 9.69 lakhs - Rs. 15.99 lakhs</td><td>Rs.12.74 lakhs - Rs. 16.54 lakhs</td></tr><tr><td>Petrol Automatic</td><td>Rs. 13.44 lakhs - Rs. 14.14 lakhs</td><td>Rs. 14.94 lakhs - Rs. 17.20 lakhs</td><td>Rs. 13.79 lakhs - Rs. 16.99 lakhs</td><td>Rs. 15.94 lakhs - Rs. 17.44 lakhs</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



Original Article: May 14, 2020



Nissan is going to launch the BS6-compliant Kicks in India in the coming weeks. Ever since the Japanese carmaker has announced the launch of the 2020 Kicks with a new 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine, there has been a lot of buzz in the market as the upcoming Kicks will be the most powerful SUV in its class. A few days ago, the official brochure of the <a href="https://www.91wheels.com/news/2020-nissan-kicks-bs6-all-details/">2020 Kicks BS6</a> leaked and we brought for you all the details of it. And now, we are going to do a comparison of the 2020 Nissan Kicks BS6 Mileage vs its Rivals.

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/2020-kicks-1.jpg" alt="2020 nissan kicks bs6 price in india" class="wp-image-8106" /></figure>



The 2020 Nissan Kicks will be powered by two petrol engines: a 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated motor and a 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine. The BS4 Kicks also used to get a 1.5-litre K9K DCi diesel engine that was very popular in the Indian market but due to the stricter BS6 emission norms, Nissan Group has decided to ditch it. However, to compensate for this oil-burner, the carmaker will introduce the new 1.3-litre HR13 four-cylinder turbocharged petrol motor and will also get Nissan’s famous 8-speed X-Tronic CVT gearbox which the company claims to be the best in the business. 



Here is a table that lists the engine specifications and mileage of the naturally-aspirated 2020 Nissan Kicks BS6 and its arch-rivals which include the 2020 Hyundai Creta and the Kia Seltos. We have compared the Naturally-aspirated engines and Turbocharged petrol engines distinctively to give you a better insight into these mills:



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/creta-2020-5-1.jpg" alt="2020 hyundai creta price in india" class="wp-image-8057" /></figure>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td>Model</td><td>Kicks BS6</td><td>Creta 2020</td><td>Seltos</td></tr><tr><td>Naturally Aspirated Petrol Engine</td><td>1.5-litre</td><td>1.5-litre </td><td>1.5-litre </td></tr><tr><td>Max. Power</td><td>106 PS </td><td>115 PS </td><td>115 PS </td></tr><tr><td>Max. Torque</td><td>142 Nm </td><td>144 Nm</td><td>144 Nm</td></tr><tr><td>Manual Gearbox</td><td>5-speed</td><td>6-speed</td><td>6-speed</td></tr><tr><td>Automatic Gearbox</td><td>Unavailable</td><td>CVT</td><td>CVT</td></tr><tr><td>Mileage MT (kmpl)</td><td>13.9</td><td>16.8</td><td>16.5</td></tr><tr><td>Mileage AT (kmpl)</td><td>Unavailable</td><td>17.1</td><td>16.8</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



If we compare the naturally-aspirated petrol engines, the 2020 Hyundai Creta tops the list of fuel economy, followed by its cousin Kia Seltos and Nissan Kicks gets the third spot. The 2020 Kicks gets a 1.5-litre NA petrol engine that&nbsp;churns out 106 PS of power and 142 Nm of torque, mated only to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos get the same engine. Both the cars are powered by a 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol motor that churns out 115 PS of power and 144 Nm of torque. Both the SUVs come mated to a 6-speed manual as well as a CVT gearbox. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/MG-Hector-BS6-Diesel-Prices-Image.jpg" alt="mg hector price in india" class="wp-image-5371" /></figure>



Now, here is a table that lists the engine specifications and mileage of the turbocharged 2020 Nissan Kicks BS6 and its rivals which include the 2020 Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and also the MG Hector:



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td>Model</td><td>Kicks BS6</td><td>Creta 2020</td><td>Seltos</td><td>MG Hector</td></tr><tr><td>Turbocharged Petrol Engine</td><td>1.3-litre</td><td>1.4-litre</td><td>1.4-litre</td><td>1.5-litre turbo 1.5-litre turbo-hybrid</td></tr><tr><td>Max. Power (PS)</td><td>156</td><td>140</td><td>140</td><td>143</td></tr><tr><td>Max. Torque (Nm)</td><td>254</td><td>242</td><td>242</td><td>250</td></tr><tr><td>Manual Gearbox</td><td>6-speed</td><td>Unavailable</td><td>6-speed</td><td>6-speed</td></tr><tr><td>Automatic Gearbox</td><td>8-speed CVT</td><td>7-speed DCT</td><td>7-speed DCT</td><td>6-speed DCT</td></tr><tr><td>Mileage MT (kmpl)</td><td>15.8</td><td>Unavailable</td><td>16.1</td><td>14.26 15.81 (MT hybrid)</td></tr><tr><td>Mileage AT (kmpl)</td><td>15.8 (appx.)</td><td>16.8</td><td>16.5</td><td>13.96</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



From the table above, one can make out clearly the mileage figures of all the cars and in the turbo-petrol category, it's the Kia Seltos that bags the top position in the MT class and its cousin Hyundai Creta tops the list of fuel-economy in the class of AT. The 2020 Kicks is powered by a 1.3-litre turbo petrol motor that churns out a whopping 156 PS of power and 254 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox or an 8-speed CVT. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Kia-Seltos.jpg" alt="Kia Seltos price in india" class="wp-image-872" /></figure>



Again, Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos share the same powerplant. Both the SUVs get a 1.4-litre turbo petrol motor that churns out 140 PS of power and 242 Nm of torque. However, while the Kia gets both MT as well as an AT, which is basically a 7-speed DCT, the Creta misses out on a stick shifter. MG Hector, on the other hand, gets a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine that churns out 143 PS of power and 250 Nm of torque. The engine comes coupled to a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed DCT and it also gets hybrid assistance with the manual gearbox to boost the fuel economy.



Lastly, talking about price, the 2020 Nissan Kicks will be launched soon in the country and it is expected to be priced between Rs. 10 lakhs – Rs. 15 lakhs, Ex-showroom. Its other rivals like the Creta and the Seltos also fall in the same price bracket while the Hector starts at a tad higher cost but eventually falls in the same ballpark.

7. Electric Sunroof:



A sunroof is one of the most beloved features of Indian car buyers and some people just buy a top spec-model of a car so that they can impress everyone by popping out their heads from the sunroof. Both Kia Seltos and Kia Telluride get an electric sunroof and while Seltos gets a single-pane unit, the Telluride gets a dual-pane sunroof. With an electric sunroof, the car adds a sense of freedom and modernity to your drive with an airy cabin.

Both the SUVs are equipped with modern high-line TPMS and it offers the convenience and an added measure of preventative safety by constantly monitoring tire inflation pressures in all four tires. Also, a warning light appears in the instrument cluster if any tire's pressure drops below a specified range.



9. Heads-up Display (HUD) with Auto-dimming IRVM:



Kia Seltos is the only mid-size SUV in India under Rs. 20 lakhs mark to come with a HUD or Heads-up display.

The Telluride also gets a HUD and both the SUVs also feature an auto-dimming inside rear-view mirror (IRVM) with UVO connectivity and dedicated buttons for driver’s assistance.

Kia Seltos as well as the magnificent Telluride, both the SUVs get Hill-start Assist Control (HAC). This unique safety feature offers an added measure of security when moving from a stop on a steep hill by preventing the vehicle from rolling backwards.

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Renault-Duster-Right-Front-Three-Quarter-162115.jpg" alt="Most Fuel Efficient Petrol Automatic SUVs" class="wp-image-123"/></figure>



Renault Duster is one of the cheapest BS6 compliant mid-size SUVs available in the market right now. It only comes in a sole 1.5L petrol engine and the dear old 1.5L diesel has been discontinued. The prices of the BS6 compliant petrol Duster are up by Rs 50,000 when compared with its manual counterparts. In other news, Renault will also launch a turbo-variant of the Duster which is expected to make as much as 156 PS. It will come with an optional CVT gearbox. 



Kia Seltos Engine - 1.5 Petrol, 1.4L Turbo Petrol and 1.5L Diesel Power - 113 bhp and 144 Nm, 140 bhp and 242 Nm, 113 bhp and 250 Nm Prices - Rs 9.89 lakh - Rs 17.34 lakh

Kia made its debut with the Seltos and no doubt it is one of the most selling mid-size SUV of 2019. The SUV gained its popularity due to the variable engine options and multiple transmissions. It also comes with features up to the brim and uses the same platform as the new-gen Creta. 



Hyundai Creta Engine - 1.5L Petrol, 1.4L Turbo Petrol and 1.5L Diesel Power - 113 bhp and 144 Nm, 140 bhp and 242 Nm, Prices - Rs 9.99 lakh - Rs 17.2 lakh

Although Hyundai Creta shares its engines with the Kia Seltos, the ARAI certified mileage is higher for Creta. Also, the Creta packs in additional features over the Seltos like paddle shifter, panoramic sunroof, remote start for the manual trims, electronic parking brake, one-touch cruise control and among others. 



MG Hector Engine - 1.5L Petrol, 1.5L Petrol-Hybrid, 2.0L Diesel Power - 141 bhp and 250 Nm, 141 bhp and 250 Nm, 168 bhp and 350 Nm Prices - Rs 12.74 lakh - Rs 17.73 lakh



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/MG-Hector-BS6-Diesel-Prices-Image.jpg" alt="Cheapest BS6 mid-size SUVs ranging from Tata Harrier to Jeep Compass" class="wp-image-5371"/></figure>



Given its sheer size, it sure as looks a full-fledged SUV but it is not. On the inside, it packs in 5-seating configuration and is segregated into the mid-size SUV segment when it comes to pricing. It comes with smart features and internet connectivity. The only drawback is the non-availability of physical buttons in the centre console and lack of an automatic transmission in the diesel engine. 



Mahindra XUV500 Engine - 2.2L Diesel Power - 153 bhp and 360 Nm Prices - Rs 13.2 lakh - Rs 17.7 lakh



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Mahindra-XUV500-front-02.jpeg" alt="mahindra xuv 500 bs6" class="wp-image-5278"/></figure>



The XUV500 has started showing its age with the lethargic 2.2L diesel engine and lack of modern features. However, to our surprise, it still remains one of the better-selling SUVs because of its availability of those extra 2 seats at the last row which makes it a 7-seater SUV. The BS6 prices were recently updated and sadly, the AWD model is pulled off from the line-up. 



Tata Harrier Engine - 2.0L Diesel Power - 170 bhp and 350 Nm Prices - Rs 13.69 lakh - Rs 20.25 lakh



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Tata-Harrier-Petrol.jpg" alt="Cheapest BS6 mid-size SUVs ranging from Tata Harrier to Jeep Compass" class="wp-image-4187"/><figcaption>Cheapest mid-size BS6 SUVs from Tata Harrier to Jeep Compass</figcaption></figure>



The 2020 Auto Expo was bling for the Tata Motors as they showcased various products including the new Harrier. Packed in with new features, attractive alloy wheels, a large panoramic sunroof, punchier diesel motor and the availability of an options 6-speed automatic gearbox. It makes Harrier an all-rounder, however, it does get pricier than before and the non-availability of an AWD system even in the top-spec trim makes it harder to choose with its competitor.

Jeep Compass Engine - 1.4L Petrol and 2.0L Diesel Power - 160 bhp and 250 Nm, 170 bhp and 350 Nm Prices - Rs 16.49 lakh - Rs 24.99 lakh



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Jeep-Compass-Facelift-2020.jpg" alt="2020 Jeep Compass Facelift India" class="wp-image-7744"/></figure>



Also called as the tank, this baby Jeep packs in a good 1.4L turbo petrol and a punchy 2.0L diesel motor. It was one of the best selling of its time until Tata Harrier arrived followed by MG Hector and then Kia Seltos. This mid-size SUV drives well but is often taken aback due to less number of features and an expensive automatic diesel unit.

The Kicks is the longest car here and also has the largest wheelbase and ground clearance. Both the Kicks and Duster sits on a similar platform which leads to an identical wheelbase of 2673mm. On the other hand, Seltos is longer, wider and taller than the Creta but as both the Creta and Seltos also sits on a similar platform, the wheelbase here is also identical at 2610mm. The Renault Duster is the widest and the tallest among other cars and sports macho SUV characteristics with best in class approach and departure angles too.

Nissan India claims to offer the most powerful petrol engine in its class. The new HR13 DDT 1.3-litre turbo engine churns out 156 Ps and 254 Nm of torque which is more than the Seltos and Creta. The Renault Duster is the least powerful car here but Renault showcased the 1.3-litre turbo variant of the Duster at the expo which will be launched soon. Both the Kicks and Duster will share the same 1.3-litre turbo petrol and produce identical power. Both the Creta and Seltos offers 7-speed DCT with the turbo petrol engine whereas the Kicks comes with a new X-Tronic 8-speed CVT transmission. We can't place out bets on the fuel efficiency as Nissan India hasn't revealed the fuel economy of the updated Kicks.

Nissan India has just announced the engine of the updated Kicks, except for that, they haven't revealed any specifications of the updated Kicks. As Nissan is calling it the updated 2020 Nissan Kicks, we have some doubts on what exactly Nissan will change and what they will update to take on the competition which is getting fiercer day by day. We expect Nissan will add new features like electric sunroof, updated infotainment with connected car technology and other creature comfort features to make their product more appealing. All we can have is a little bit of patience until Nissan confirms the actual specifications and features.

The Nissan Kicks' price is still under the curtains and we expected the prices to be revealed after the lockdown lifts off. The Kicks might see a marginal price hike thanks to the new turbo petrol engine and a new 8-speed X-Tronic CVT gearbox. We expect the prices to start from Rs 9.50 lakhs and the top variant to be priced somewhere around 13.99 lakhs, ex-showroom. The Renault Duster is the cheapest car here but it also lacks equipment like keyless entry, push-button start, automatic gearbox and a powerful petrol engine. Both the Creta and the Seltos gets equal sets of engines but the Creta has been priced marginally lower as compared to the Seltos.

Kia has managed to sell close to 7,500 unit in March 2020. And one of the main reasons why the sales are high is because of its pricing. The mid-size SUV sets its price at Rs 9.89 lakh and top-spec fetches till Rs 17.34 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Kia-Seltos.jpg" alt="Kia Seltos Sales " class="wp-image-872"/></figure>

It remains to be seen whether the Seltos can hold its position in the coming months too. We say it because the Hyundai Creta is back and offers more features. It'll be fun to see how both the SUVs compete against each other once the lockdown ends.

Kia Seltos Becomes The Top Selling SUV Again: Strikes A Hattrick In Sales

Hyundai Creta made its debut in 2015 for the Indian market and since then there has been no looking back in terms of sales and the fan following. However, with the introduction of Kia Seltos, the sales number were hit quite hard and the latter proved out to be a tough competition for the old SUV.

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/New-Project-9.jpg"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/New-Project-9.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4231"/></a></figure>



In this article, we compare the 2020 Hyundai Creta vs Kia Seltos on papers and see how both the SUVs stand next to each other.



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td>Dimension</td><td>2020 Hyundai Creta</td><td>Kia Seltos</td></tr><tr><td>Length</td><td>4300 mm</td><td>4315 mm</td></tr><tr><td>Width</td><td>1790 mm</td><td>1800 mm</td></tr><tr><td>Height</td><td>1635 mm</td><td>1645 mm</td></tr><tr><td>Wheelbase</td><td>2610 mm</td><td>2610 mm</td></tr><tr><td>Ground Clearance </td><td>-</td><td>190 mm</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



The next-gen Hyundai Creta shares its platform with the Kia Seltos. Surely, the 2020 Creta has grown in dimensions than before. It is now 10 mm wider, 30 mm longer and the wheelbase sees an increase of 20 mm. Kia Seltos is wider and longer than the upcoming Creta, however, the dimensions will be marginally visible to the naked eyes. Both the cars share the same wheelbase of 2610 mm.

The 2020 Hyundai Creta sources all the engines from the Kia Seltos and the power figures of all stick to the same. What's changed with the Creta is that they have ditched a manual gearbox for the turbo petrol trim and only offer a 7-speed DCT. As seen on the Seltos, the power-packed petrol trim also comes in a 6-speed manual gearbox.

Also, the fuel efficiency figures for the 2020 Hyundai Creta are higher than the Kia Seltos. The petrol engine with 6-speed manual gearbox offers 16.8 km/l. While the CVT makes 17.1 km/l and the 7-speed DCT makes 16.8 km/l. 



2020 Hyundai Creta vs Kia Seltos Diesel Engines 



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td>Diesel Engine</td><td>2020 Hyundai Creta</td><td>Kia Seltos</td></tr><tr><td>Engine</td><td>1.5L CRDi</td><td>1.5L CRDi</td></tr><tr><td>Power</td><td>115 bhp</td><td>115 bhp</td></tr><tr><td>Torque</td><td>250 Nm</td><td>250 Nm</td></tr><tr><td>Transmission</td><td>6-speed manual/6-speed AT</td><td>6-speed manual/6-speed AT</td></tr><tr><td>Fuel Efficiency</td><td>21.4 km/l, 18.5 km/l</td><td>21 kmpl / 18 kmpl</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



The 2020 Hyundai Creta ditches the 1.4L and more powerful 1.6L CRDi engine for a newer 1.5L, four-cylinder, turbocharged diesel engine. This engine is BS6 compliant and is borrowed from the Kia Seltos. It generates 115 bhp along with 250 Nm of peak torque. Transmission option includes a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.



Fuel efficiency for the Creta is 21.4 km/l for the 6-speed manual and 18.3 km/l for the 6-speed AT. Kia Seltos returns 21 km/l and 18 km/l respectively. Being a brand in itself, it is quite obvious that Creta is offering a higher ARAI certified fuel efficiency. 



Design Kia Seltosâ€&#x2122;s design looks dominating when viewed from the front profile. The LED headlamps followed by LED Daytime Running Lights and the tiger nose grille just gives the car a WOW factor. The sharp lines running all over the body with a sloping roofline. The rear profile of the SUV packs LED taillights along with a thick chrome bar. The higher trims of the Seltos gets thick machine cut alloy wheels which looks beautiful. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/New-Project-10.jpg" alt="2020 Hyundai Creta vs Kia Seltos Rear Image " class="wp-image-4232"/></figure>



Now, coming to the 2020 Creta, Hyundai has gone a bit far with the design scheme. The split headlight design on the SUV which takes inspiration from the Venue looks good. But wait, till you see the rear as it also gets the same LED design pattern. The new design is odd yet funky and in my opinion, it is absolutely a number crunch as the SUV has already received more than 10,000 in just 7 days. That figure surely speaks a lot in itself. 



Prices



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td>Price</td><td>2020 Hyundai Creta</td><td>Kia Seltos</td></tr><tr><td>Ex-showroom</td><td>Rs 9.99 lakh - Rs 17.20 lakh</td><td>Rs 9.69 lakh - Rs 16.99 lakh</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



Hyundai has kept the prices of new-gen Creta very competitively with the Seltos and the former does get a lot more features than the Seltos. It looks like the big daddy of the SUVs is back with a bang and will steal the throne of best selling SUV in no time. Let us get back to you in a couple of days with the sales story of 2020 Hyundai Creta.

2020 Hyundai Creta vs Kia Seltos - Spec And Price Comparison

Kia brought the Seltos in the Indian market last year and the mid-size SUV is on a roll ever since. The sales number have been quite at large and even eating up the Hyundai Creta. And now at the 2020 Auto Expo, Kia Motor Company presented the beefier version of the Seltos which is termed as the X-Line. 



<figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://youtu.be/KDbXFBs_p9Y
</div></figure>



The X-Line version is basically an aggressive form of the normal Kia Seltos and the model which was showcased at the 2020 Auto Expo was in a concept form. However, if the market demands then we can expect it to be launched soon in the Indian markets. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/WhatsApp-Image-2020-02-06-at-10.07.08.jpg"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/WhatsApp-Image-2020-02-06-at-10.07.08.jpg" alt="Kia Seltos X-Line Concept 2020 Auto Expo Image " class="wp-image-3446"/></a></figure>



Kia Seltos X-Line concept which was showcased at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show gets raised suspension which now offers more ground clearance, rally lights, tweaked front and rear bumper design and a roof rack. The windows were blacked out and that is why the interiors shots could not be taken. 



More visual changes on the X-Line Seltos sticks to off-roads tyres on the customised alloy wheel, front winch and orange highlights at the front and rear. This X-Line version gets powered by a 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine which churns out a maximum 177 PS along with a peak torque of 264 Nm. Transmission sticks to 7-speed DCT and it gets an all-wheel-drive system.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/WhatsApp-Image-2020-02-06-at-10.07.07.jpg"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/WhatsApp-Image-2020-02-06-at-10.07.07.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3447"/></a></figure>



These above mechanical changes do not come with the X-Line Seltos Indian version. And we expect that if Kia plans to bring in this aggressive version of the Seltos then the changes will mostly stick to the exteriors and the model will be specific to the 1.4L turbo petrol engine. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/WhatsApp-Image-2020-02-06-at-10.07.05.jpg"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/WhatsApp-Image-2020-02-06-at-10.07.05.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3448"/></a></figure>



The 1.4L turbo petrol motor churns out 140 bhp along with a maximum torque of 242 Nm. Transmission sticks to a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed DCT gearbox. The Seltos is also available in 1.5L petrol and diesel disguise. The prices for the same starts at Rs 9.89 lakh and top model sticks to Rs 17.34 lakh. All prices stick to ex-showroom, Delhi.

This price hike is not just limited to the new customers but for existing too, who still haven't got their hands on Seltos. Some of the buyers even received delayed deliveries because of the price hike they had to cope up with. Mind you, this is just the ex-showroom price hike and in real-world with the addition of RTO, other tax inclusions and insurance premium the hike comes at an up of Rs 65,000 to Rs 70,000.

Kia Seltos Completes Over 1 Lakh Bookings Mark

Kia Seltos has recently been crash-tested by ANCAP (Australian New Car Assesment Program) in which it scored 5 stars. The adult occupant protection came out to be 85%, child occupant protection at 83%, 70% score in safety assist and 61% in vulnerable road user protection.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/large-e1577700025428.png" alt="kia seltos crash test" class="wp-image-560"/></figure>



Kia Seltos is the smallest SUV in Kia Australia's lineup and Kia imports it from South Korea and sells it in the Australian markets. Features like 6 Airbags, ABS with EBD, Lane-keeping assist, lane departure warning, autonomous emergency braking, emergency lane keeping and tyre pressure monitoring system are standard. The Indian spec Kia Seltos, on the other hand, comes with 2 airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors and speed sensing alarm as standard.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/large-3-e1577700063194.png" alt="kia seltos crash" class="wp-image-561"/></figure>



After comparing the specs, we found that the Australian spec Seltos is longer by 55 mm which leads to increased wheelbase by 20mm. However Australian spec Seltos stands 30mm shorter than the Indian-spec Seltos.

Seltos sold in Australia has larger engines that include a 2.0 litre NA petrol engine with 147 bhp of power while the other one is a 1.6 litre T-GDI petrol with 174 bhp of power on tap. The Australian spec Seltos is also available in AWD variants. Indian spec Seltos comes with a 1.5 NA petrol, 1.4 T-GDI petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel engines paired with IVT, 7-speed DCT and 6-speed AT accordingly. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/large-1-e1577700139663.png" alt="kia seltos crash" class="wp-image-559"/></figure>



Although we can't judge the Indian spec Seltos with these results, if we consider the structural rigidity of both the cars as same, we can expect a good rating in Global NCAP crash test which tests the Indian cars under #SaferCarsForIndia campaign.
