Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Kia Seltos
- Upmarket cabin experience with soft-touch elements and dual 10.25-inch displays.
- Some features from segments above, including panoramic sunroof, ADAS and dual-zone climate control.
- Multiple engine options including a diesel with both manual and automatic options.
- Segment-leading 1-5-litre turbo-petrol engine with 160PS
- Aggressive looks with attractive lighting elements.
Kia Syros
- Rear seat space: a 6’5” tall person can fit behind a 6’ tall driver. Slide and recline function makes it super versatile.
- 390-465-litre boot space: on par with SUVs from one segment above. 60:40 split rear seats on offer too.
- Interior quality, fit, finish is among the best in class.
- Segment best feature set: Panoramic sunroof, L2 ADAS, 360° camera, 30” panoramic display.
- Choice of 1-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines. Both available with an automatic.

Kia Seltos
- Crash test is still pending, but is expected to be less than the 5 stars of Kushaq and Taigun.
- Shallow boot limits the practicality of the space.
Kia Syros
- Ride quality is likely to feel slightly bouncy on highways.
- Fuel efficiency of turbo-petrol engine in heavy bumper-to-bumper traffic is known to be poor.
- Design is very unconventional which doesn’t leave a good first impression.
