2023 Kia Seltos | 4/5 Stars? Why? | First Drive Review | evo India

The Kia Seltos has received more than just a nip and tuck. While the styling has obviously been revised, there's a new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine, updated interiors, new infotainement, level 2 ADAS, bigger 18-inch wheels, and more. And with that, the Kia Seltos is now priced from ₹10.89 lakh to ₹19.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Our Ed Sirish Chandran finds out how the updates have impacted the new Kia Seltos. He rates it 4/5 stars. But why? Watch this first drive review to find out.

How much would you rate the new Seltos on a scale of 1-5 stars?

[@taurus50000]

I am still surprised why so many people are still whining about the safety when many of them would never even bother wearing a seat belt in rear or maintain speed limits on an open highway. Kia seltos has a lot of secret admirers. It gets openly criticised but many of them still go and buy it coz it makes total sense when it comes to value.

Finally journalists now are giving honest opinions about the Hyundai Kia Cars unlike earlier times🙂

[@raghavendrabs8936]

@sireesh: is it safe n good practice to adjust steering position while car is on the move. Which you did in this video.

[@qwqw100]

One of best review channels for cars! Absolutely loved the small details which you covered especially about the ride quality! No one covers such in-depth pieces! Way to go! ❤

[@MrRajan7]

Hi sir nice review.

[@yogeshparwal8698]

Please let me know one thing - if in GT line Diesel engine variant, instead of 18 inch wheels, we replace it with 17 inch wheels, will the ride quality improve? Can it be customised if we ask the company to do?

[@omkarp8521]

Which is a better option the Carens or Seltos for a family of 5? Please advise

[@nickchhabra]

One of your best reviews! Loved the visuals, details & music. Thanks for being honest with review Sirish!

[@abhinavmitra4185]

Great review, as always. For new folks, Shirish is from the original generation of solid automotive journalism magazines (almost 3 decades). One of the best road testers !!! I drive an XUV500 & Ford ES. Next upgrade, XUV700/ Harrier.

It’s really nice to see genuine reviews about ride quality and suspension rather than just praising everything just because they are given a car to review by Kia.. kudos team

[@omkarp8521]

Is it better to buy the Carens it seems to have better ride quality?

[@rohantikhe7661]

Diesel mileage city and highways?

[@ameetmane]

what is the safety rating of the previous model

[@yohannirani9431]

Your absolutely spot on...reducing air pressure a bit on my 7DCT has made a lot of difference to the horrible harsh ride of earlier...and nitrogen helps a gee bit too...but, still needs to be worked upon by KIA.

[@rishabhkapse576]

Kindly make a video on the diesel HTX+ iMT its a different gearbox, different interiors than other trims, and 17" wheels eager to know the review, especially in the ride area I am considering it as our next car.

[@naveenbalineni235]

Great Review Sirish! Such a comprehensive review.

[@user5346]

Did sirish try steering adjustment while driving and beep being heard ~80ish 😱 is it even advisable to try steering changes while on the move? Didnt expect this from ppl of this Calibre

[@psr1987ba]

Great review Sirish 👏 . So do you think should i need to wait for honda elevate or just go ahead with seltos IVT ?

[@amitgupte692]

Beautiful car good video sir wht about impact safety rating
