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
Volkswagen Taigun
- Styling that'll age well. New elements like the illuminated logos make it stand out more.
- Boot space: Not the biggest on-paper, but very practical for daily use
- Driving dynamics: Feels fun to drive without any big compromise in ride comfort
- Performance: Both 1-litre and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines offer good performance
- Cabin: Good space and practicality for 4 adults

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
Volkswagen Taigun
- No ADAS features could be a miss for people who do long intercity trips
- Rear-view camera: Poor resolution limits usability. No 360-degree camera option
- Powertrain options: No CNG, diesel or hybrid powertrain options
