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
Nissan Tekton
- Classy, upmarket styling. Has great road presence.
- Well-tuned suspension. Brilliant ride comfort along with fun-to-drive handling.
- Panoramic sunroof, 360° camera, dual-zone climate control, ventilated front seats: all the features you need.
- 700-litres of boot space is best-in-class.

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
Nissan Tekton
- Rear seat space is adequate, not awesome.
- Interior plastic quality could be better.
- 360° camera quality is grainy and low resolution.
- No automatic option with 1.0-litre turbo engine option.
