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.
Nissan Magnite
- Use of soft touch leatherette padding on all touch points makes the cabin feel a lot more premium
- Safety kit has been improved by the availability of 6 airbags from the base-spec variant
- It has one of the best performing CVTs under Rs 10 lakh
- In its segment, it has one of the most spacious rear seats

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.
Nissan Magnite
- Turbo-petrol engine is not so refined which results in vibrations that can be felt in the footwell, on the steering wheel, and on the seats
- While the leatherette padding makes the cabin feel more premium, the flimsy AC knobs, and panel gaps have a negative impact on the overall cabin experience
- The feature list still feels pretty small and no major additions were made with the facelift
- The 360-degree camera has a grainy feed which is very hard to see in low light conditions
