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 Grand Vitara
- Premium looks: LED headlights, LED DRLs, upright SUV stance, connected tail lamps and 17-inch alloy wheels.
- Good creature comforts with features like ventilated seats, 360-degree camera, panoramic sunroof, and rear sun shades.
- Multiple powertrain options: mild-hybrid, strong-hybrid, CNG, manual and automatic transmission options and all-wheel drive.
- Super efficient: Hybrid powertrain returns more than 20kmpl in the real-world.
- Ride comfort: Excellent ride quality on all kinds of surfaces.

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 Grand Vitara
- Misses out on diesel engine offered in rivals like Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.
- Boot space: Compromised boot in the hybrid variants can only accommodate medium-sized suitcases and smaller bags.
