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
Kia Sorento
- Loaded base variants. No need to spend big money for features.
- Strong safety package: 10 airbags, 360° camera, L2 ADAS ensure peace of mind.
- Petrol-hybrid and diesel engine options offer a balance of performance and mileage.
- Well-built and premium feeling interior gives a luxurious experience.

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
Kia Sorento
- Third row is not spacious. Best used by kids or pets
- Steering is light, but lacks feel or feedback. Leaves you guessing on ghat roads
