Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

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
- Classy interiors: Materials used are high on quality and cabin offers good practicality
- Spacious cabin: Ample legroom and headroom at the rear even for tall occupants
- Boot space: One of the biggest boots in the segment can carry multiple large suitcases with space to spare
- Ride quality: Does a good job of absorbing imperfections at both low and high speeds
- Features: Offers a good balance with no real functional miss and a few feel goods as well
- City drives: Light steering wheel and super smooth engine and CVT gearbox make city drives comfortable

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
Honda Elevate
- Highway performance: Engine gets loud and struggles for quick overtakes beyond 80kmph
- Limited powertrains: Still no hybrid powertrain. Only gets a NA petrol engine
