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
Maruti Suzuki FRONX
- Attractive styling: Looks muscular, but also sporty with its sloping roofline.
- Spacious and practical cabin: Good storage spaces and space for four adults.
- Multiple powertrains: Offer a choice between smooth and exciting petrol engines.
- Covers the basics: Keyless entry, climate control, steering mounted controls, and cruise control.
- Plush ride: Good comfort over regular, bad or even rough roads.
- 190mm ground clearance boosts confidence in new drivers.
- Easy to drive in the city and stable at high speeds.

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
Maruti Suzuki FRONX
- Rear seat headroom: Sloping roofline limits space for tall passengers.
- No diesel engine option — available with Venue, Nexon and Sonet.
- Misses out on a few feel-good features: sunroof, leatherette upholstery, ventilated seats.
