Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Honda Elevate
- Sophisticated design: Simple design language that looks traditional, offers a good road presence, and will surely age well
- Classy interiors: Materials used are high on quality and cabin offers good practicality
- Spacious cabin: Ample legroom and headroom for rear seat occupants
- Best in class boot space: Can easily store an entire suitcase set with space to spare
Kia Seltos
- Plenty of charging options for the entire family: 5 USB type-C ports with front wireless phone charging
- Feature-rich: Dual 12.3-inch displays, panoramic sunroof, 8-speaker Bose sound system, 360-degree camera and Level-2 ADAS
- Engine and transmission options: Gets three engines, including a diesel, each with the option of a manual or automatic transmission
- Ride quality: Feels comfortable with improved cushioning than before

Honda Elevate
- Limited powertrains: No diesel or Hybrid options which the rivals offer
- Lacks a few features versus rivals: panoramic sunroof, front seat ventilation, 360-degree camera
Kia Seltos
- Not as poised around a corner as before: Comfy suspension has reduced the sharpness in handling
- Polarising looks: New bold design is a big departure from the earlier sharp and sporty look
- Fuel efficiency with the turbo-petrol and diesel-automatic won’t be great
