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
Tata Sierra
- Smashing design! Looks larger than it actually is and has great road presence.
- Petrol and diesel engine options, both with manual and automatic.
- Spacious interior: rear seat space is sufficient for 6ft tall occupants.
- Loaded with features: panoramic sunroof, 360° camera, dual-zone climate control and more.
- Superior infotainment experience: triple-screen layout, 12-speaker JBL audio system with Dolby Atmos makes it a theatre on wheels.

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
Tata Sierra
- Diesel engine refinement could be better
- Minor omissions: powered co-driver’s seat, rear seat recline etc. could have been avoided.
- Some niggles and electronic glitches experienced
