Auto news India - Kia Seltos news

This past week saw the market introduction of two big new models - Hyundai Creta facelift and Tata Punch EV

The Hyundai Creta and the Kia Seltos are the only compact SUVs to offer a diesel engine, while the Grand Vitara and Hyryder get an optional strong-hybrid powertrain

The Hyundai Creta has the same engine options as the Kia Seltos, but with differing transmission options for the turbo-petrol and diesel

No model crossed the 10,000 monthly sales mark as the segment witnessed an overall decline of 5 percent

The facelifted Hyundai Creta will be launched on January 16, pre-order bookings are open

Some of the most searched comparisons were between cars of different segments, but the same brand, and nearly all of them included SUVs

While most cars on this list get this safety tech only on their fully loaded or higher-spec variants, it’s only the Honda City which offers it across almost its entire lineup

The segment witnessed total sales of over 55,000 units but it was down by more than 13 percent compared to October 2023

The top 3 models were from Maruti itself that alone accounted for over 47,000 units sales

These kinds of digital instrument clusters were restricted to the luxury segment not that long ago, but have now become a lot more accessible

It was a strong growth month for the Kia Seltos as well which was the third best-selling compact SUV

All these cars come with a built-in air purifier, to make sure you can breathe cleaner air inside the car even when the air quality outside is worryingly poor

A heads-up display shows crucial details from the instrument cluster above the dashboard’s height to help drivers keep their eyes on the road

The updated Tata Harrier is more expensive than before, and rivals the Mahindra XUV700 and MG Hector

Compact SUVs from Volkswagen, Skoda, and MG not only have the shortest waiting periods but are also readily available in some cities
