Kia Seltos [2024]

Highway King Diesel AT

I've owned an SUV for a long time, so I was pleasantly surprised when I upgraded to the Seltos Diesel AT last year. Highway cruising is a breeze thanks to the diesel engine's amazing torque. The car feels incredibly sturdy at high speeds, and I frequently drive between Delhi and Jaipur. Although the touchscreen occasionally lags a little, the interior of the car feels opulent with high-end materials and plenty of technology. For a car of this size, my highway fuel efficiency of 17–18 km/l is impressive.

Premium Looks & Great Mileage

Honestly, the Kia Seltos HTX+ Diesel MT looks like a much more expensive car, which is the main reason I chose it. Many people notice the orange dual-tone colour I selected! The clutch is light for a diesel, which makes it suitable for city driving. In Chennai's heat, the ventilated seats and panoramic sunroof are fantastic. I get about 18 to 19 km/l on highways and about 14 in the city, which is a respectable mileage.

A Perfect City-Highway Mix

After six months of driving the Seltos GTX+ Diesel AT, I have to say that Kia has really nailed it. The interior of the car feels appropriately premium, almost like an entry-level luxury vehicle, and it has an aggressive, modern appearance. The smooth automatic transmission makes driving in Mumbai traffic surprisingly easy. The car feels incredibly stable on the highway when I travel to Lonavala on the weekends. I wish it had a little more weight at higher speeds but I am happy with the light steering that’s excellent for city driving.

The sub-4-metre SUV segment has never been this crowded — or this diverse. In this comparison, we put three very different compact SUVs head-to-head: the Škoda Kylaq, Hyundai Venue, and Kia Syros.All three promise a compelling mix of design, features, performance, and value, but they approach the brief in very different ways. One focuses on driving dynamics, another leans heavily on tech and comfort, while the third aims to strike a middle ground.So which one makes the most sense for your money? And more importantly, which one suits your needs best?

Kylaq vs Venue vs Syros - Driving Fun vs Smart Tech | autoX Comparison

The sub-4-metre SUV segment has never been this crowded — or this diverse. In this comparison, we put three very different compact SUVs head-to-head: the Škoda Kylaq, Hyundai Venue, and Kia Syros.

December turned out to be a relatively quiet month for the Carens Clavis EV in terms of kilometres covered. Overall usage was lower than my usual monthly average, with most driving limited to office commutes. Even so, the car highlighted one of its most thoughtful strengths. What stood out was how intelligently the rear seats are designed when folded forward. They create a flat, usable floor that easily accommodated the large crash test dummy used for our ADAS testing - something that couldn’t be managed as neatly in an Innova Hycross. The generous storage spaces and flexible cabin layout proved invaluable during the shoot, and readers should check out the full ADAS comparison in this issue. Cold ambient temperatures had a noticeable impact on battery performance. Charging speeds slowed, and real-world range dropped alarmingly. The rear doors also continue to require extra effort to shut properly — a small but persistent annoyance.
Overall, it was a calm month that reaffirmed an earlier conclusion – the Carens Clavis EV needs only a few updates to be the perfect family MPV.

Kia Carens Clavis EV Long Term Report: Month 2 - Practical by Design

A quieter month behind the wheel revealed the Carens Clavis EV’s real strengths, from clever space usage to winter-related quirks that still need fixing.

Back in 2019, Kia made its Indian debut with the Seltos – a disruptor designed to take on the segment-defining Hyundai Creta. It succeeded remarkably, clocking over 5.8 lakh units in just over six years. However, the goalposts have moved. The C-segment SUV market has exploded in volume, and the competition has intensified further with the arrival of the Tata Sierra and the impending launch of the Renault Duster. In response, Kia has skipped the facelift route and gone straight for a bold, second-generation overhaul. We headed to Bangalore to see if this new iteration can shift the status quo once again.

<h2>New Kia Seltos Platform and Design: Bigger, Stronger, More Muscular</h2>

The most significant change lies beneath the skin. This isn’t a mere evolution; it carries over almost nothing from its predecessor. Built on the brand’s global K3 platform, the Seltos has grown by 95mm, stretching to nearly 4,460mm in length. This growth spurt, coupled with a wheelbase extended by 80mm to 2,690mm, gives it a significantly more commanding presence on the tarmac.<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Kia-Seltos_-Front-Three-Quarter-1768298159185.webp" alt="Kia Seltos_ Front-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 Crucially, the K3 platform brings a stiffer structural frame. According to Kia, the new architecture delivers vastly improved torsional rigidity. This isn’t just a marketing buzzword in this instance; it’s a fundamental shift that improves crash protection - with six airbags now standard across all trims - and provides a more stable foundation for the improved suspension. This structural integrity allows for better weight distribution and lower NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) levels, which was a point of criticism in the previous generation.







Visually, the styling is unapologetically muscular, adopting the Opposites United philosophy seen on all the latest Kias. The massive Digital Tiger Face grille dominates the fascia, flanked by DRLs pushed to the outer edges to emphasise width. The new Star Map LED lighting signature at both ends creates a high-tech look. The 18-inch crystal-cut alloys fill the arches perfectly, lending it an athletic stance. Gone are the soft curves of the previous car, replaced by flat surfaces and sharp, aggressive lines. At the rear is a full-width LED light bar that is instantly recognisable at night.





<h2>Kia Seltos Interior Review: Tech-Loaded, Premium and More Spacious</h2>

Step inside, and the leap in quality is startling. The cabin follows the new design language debuted in the Syros, centred around the Trinity Panoramic Display. This single curved housing integrates twin 12.3-inch screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment, but adds a third, dedicated 5-inch HVAC touch panel in between. It strikes a rare balance between futuristic tech and ergonomic common sense.<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Kia-Seltos_View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation-1768298116658.webp" alt="Kia Seltos_View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 

Thankfully, Kia hasn’t fallen into the trap of all-touch controls. Physical shortcut buttons are present for essential menus, a refreshing choice in an era where even headlight controls are increasingly buried in sub-menus. The materials used are top-tier; from the soft-touch dashboard finish to the tactile feedback of the knurled switchgear, the Seltos feels more premium than anything else in its class. In fact, the fit and finish now rival SUVs from a segment above.Space, too, has seen a marked improvement. That 80mm increase in wheelbase translates directly into segment-leading rear legroom.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Kia_Seltos_First_Drive_autoX_Rear_Seat_Space-1769071207738.webp" alt="Kia_Seltos_First_Drive_autoX_Rear_Seat_Space.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 The rear seats have been redesigned with improved under-thigh support and a reclining function. Kia’s ‘human-centric’ approach is evident in the smaller details – USB Type-C ports are cleverly housed in the side bolsters of the front seats for easy access by rear passengers, and the rear windows now feature integrated sunblinds for added comfort.







A particularly neat trick on the top-spec trims is the proximity key sensor. As you approach the vehicle with the key in your pocket, the flush-fitting door handles automatically pop out - a feature usually reserved for luxury EVs.<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Kia-Seltos_Seat-Switches-1768298147774.webp" alt="Kia Seltos_Seat-Switches.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 Inside, the driver is treated to a Relaxation Mode power seat that retracts automatically for easier entry and exit, further elevating the premium experience.

<h2>Kia Seltos 1.5 Turbo Petrol First Drive: Refinement, Ride and Handling</h2>

While the platform and skin are brand-new, Kia has opted for an ‘old wine in a new bottle’ approach regarding the powertrains. The familiar 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol, 1.5-litre turbo-diesel, and the punchy 1.5-litre turbo-petrol remain on offer. However, they have been refined to meet the latest emission standards while offering better efficiency.<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Kia-Seltos_side-profile-dynamic-1768298105948.webp" alt="Kia Seltos_side-profile-dynamic.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 We spent our time with the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol (158bhp/253Nm) paired with the 7-speed DCT. The gearbox is a tad slow at takeoff – to protect itself from excessive stress – but works well otherwise. Once on the move, it is seamless and lightning-fast. The NVH levels are excellent; the cabin is a hushed environment, well-isolated from Bangalore’s chaotic traffic.







Crucially, Kia has listened to feedback regarding the previous generation’s firm ride. The suspension has been softened just enough to improve low-speed compliance without sacrificing high-speed stability. It remains an engaging SUV to drive, but it’s now a far more comfortable family cruiser. It handles undulating roads with a level of maturity that was missing before, and the steering feels more connected, offering more confidence when pushing through corners.
 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/Kia_Seltos_First_Drive_autoX_ADAS_Radar-1769071239604.webp" alt="Kia_Seltos_First_Drive_autoX_ADAS_Radar.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 Safety has been overhauled with a full suite of Level-2 ADAS comprising 21 autonomous functions. During our drive, the Lane Keep Assist and Forward Collision Avoidance felt well-calibrated for Indian road conditions - less intrusive but ready to intervene when needed. The inclusion of Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance and Blind-Spot Monitoring makes navigating dense urban traffic significantly less stressful.







<h2>2026 Kia Seltos Verdict: Can It Reclaim the C-SUV Benchmark?</h2>

While the current lineup is robust, there is a missing piece in the puzzle – electrification. For those looking to reduce their running costs, a hybrid version of the Seltos is confirmed for the Indian market. While Kia has not committed to a specific date, it is expected to launch in late 2026 or early 2027 as a direct rival to the Maruti Suzuki Victoris and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder hybrids. This move will be critical in a market where fuel prices and emission norms are becoming increasingly challenging.

In the meantime, the Seltos faces its toughest challenge yet. The newly launched Tata Sierra offers a more rugged, outdoor appeal, while the Hyundai Creta remains the volume king. However, Kia has played a masterstroke with the pricing. Starting at Rs 10.99 lakh and going up to Rs 19.99 lakh, it covers a massive price bracket. The 10-variant structure ensures there is a Seltos for everyone.<iframe width="1425" height="500" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/W61cGqAynSg" title="2026 Kia Seltos First Drive Review | Better Than the Tata Sierra? | autoX" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

Kia Seltos First Drive Review - Reinventing Success

We drive the all-new Kia Seltos to see if its ground-up overhaul is enough to reclaim benchmark status in a segment that’s fiercer than ever.

Mega ADAS Test 2026: Safari vs Victoris vs Innova Hycross vs XEV 9S vs Creta N Line vs Carens Clavis EV

India’s top six carmakers go head-to-head in the third edition of our Mega ADAS Test, revealing which driver-assistance systems truly work on our roads.

Welcome to the 3rd edition of autoX's Mega ADAS comparison test.In this two-part series, we evaluate the real-world performance of Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems from six major carmakers in India: Mahindra, Hyundai, Kia, Tata, Toyota, and Maruti Suzuki.In Part 1, the focus is squarely on AEB in pedestrian scenarios. Before the tests begin, we break down how AEB actually works, why it has speed and object limitations, and why many popular beliefs about ADAS are simply not true.All six cars are then tested under identical conditions, including:<ul><li>Daytime pedestrian AEB tests</li><li>Night-time tests with headlamps on</li><li>Zero-visibility tests with headlamps and DRLs switched off</li></ul>The results reveal major differences in how these systems are calibrated — from how early they brake, to how consistently they intervene, and how well they cope when visibility drops.Which AEB system works best for Indian roads? Which ones struggle where it matters most? Watch till the end to find out!Part 2 of this Mega ADAS test will evaluate real-world ADAS features, including adaptive cruise control, lane assistance, and expressway behaviour. Subscribe to autoX so you don’t miss it.DISCLAIMER - All tests were conducted in a controlled environment. ADAS is a driver-assist feature and does not replace attentive driving.

Focus stayed on sales and service, especially in tier-2 and tier-3 markets. New dealerships improved access, while added service centres supported higher volumes.<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/kia/">Kia</a> recorded growth from the first quarter, with each quarter improving. Festive demand in October and November carried into December, which became the highest-volume month. The broader shift towards compact and mid-size SUVs worked in Kia’s favour.Looking ahead, Kia announced prices for the second-generation Seltos on 2 January 2026. The first-generation model crossed 5.8 lakh units in India and 1.8 million globally. Production scaling at Anantapur backs demand, with the network ready for quick deliveries.
