Triple Ownership Report: Kushaq v/s HyRyder v/s Seltos !

[@amitagrawal6115]

Whatever be the score, you were grinning when driving the Kushaq; the comparison concluded there for me :D

[@KKCOnAMotive]

Hello Amit, Good observation. As i said the Kushaq has a great sounding engine and the chassis is very chuckable. Fun to drive for sure.

[@5131992patrick]

Same here. Was trying to find an automatic alternative for my Creta. Test drove the Grand Vitara, Seltos turbo. Also checked the Toyota Hyryder. The entire day was over and it was above 6 PM Ist. But the Kia showroom executive mentioned that the Skoda sales manager is his friend and insisted that I try the Skoda showroom even after it got closed. Thanks to God, he made me to give it a try. When i had a walk through, it felt small when compared with my Creta 2.0. But after i started the drive, a smile started to slowly appear on my face. My tiredness from all the other test drives and enquiries, started to fade away. I wanted to push the car further, wanted more and more to drive it. Didn't feel like closing the test drive at all !! You just have to cross the 1.5k RPM mark, and that's it. The engine will pull you till you want no more 😊 it will just keep on climbing interms of speed and that too in a very steep manner !! Mind you, i am talking about 1.0 TSI AT ( TC) combo. Not the 1.5 TSI DSG combo. Bought the Skoda the next day. Thats it. End of convo. No more test drives were needed. Still the Skoda puts a smile on my face everytime i pull it out for a drive on the highways. Its high-speed mannerisms, its noise isolation and the sheer power the small engine packs is more than justifying the price premium it demands over the competition.

KKC Bro, Last time u suggested Ford Figo 1.5 Diesel, That was very nice experience with me. That was rocket, drive loving car with no stupid things. This time i will love to check Seltos too. U r a gem man, but surprisingly your view are less.

[@KKCOnAMotive]

@@anandbasi6948 Thanks for your kind words and appreciation. Good to know you enjoyed the Figo D too. Seltos is a great car in its category and the face-lift has made it even better, hence you can surely consider it.

[@shashankadoddamani]

Suspension & AC is great in Hyryder . I’m fine with low power engine as I want more fuel economy (I did own BMW 328i turbocharge before). Hence I go with awesome ride quality that is Hyryder!

[@ASJacob]

Its brilliant right!

[@avmytube]

Im own 1.0L Kushaq AT. And i agree with your review on VFM and Compromised interior quality. But the only reason for buying Kushaq is the safety rating and the solid ride quality. Surprisingly this 1.0L Engine will get you great mileage if driven under 2000 RPM in long drives. Sound quality is not upto the mark. But for me , Safety and spacicous leg room are more important

[@jimbroottygaming8824]

What about the kushaq 1.0 manual ?

[@Guitarmaster007]

I own Kushaq 1.5 TSI style Manual and its faster than the current Seltos turbo variant which is 160HP with 260NM torque(Kushaq is 150HP with 250NM torque). I think the 1.5 TSI engine obtained from the Karoq with active cylinder technology is the charm, the engine feels smooth because of 4 cylinder, its powerful due to TSI and also gives best in class milage, I have obtained as high as 22kmpl on the highway in Skoda 1.5 manual and 17kmpl in the city. It so smartly shuts down two cylinders whenever the ECB comes to know that the car is driving slowly on low gears from past few minutes or hour.

[@harshvardhanmalik5746]

Funny how Mr kkc own almost all cars of the segment as all of these cars have their counter brothers

Great review. This is what an unbiased opinion is about.

[@KKCOnAMotive]

Thanks Shaurin.

[@pathiksnaik]

Nice comparison. Should add safety rating too though when scoring

[@KKCOnAMotive]

Thanks Pathik, Safety was not included as the HyRyder is still unrated. Also for some folk safety is the most important part, they will ignore everything and just buy the safest car. Even if we included safety and gave 1 point each to seltos and hyryder and gave Kushaq full 3 points still the winners wouldnt have changed.

[@pathiksnaik]

@@KKCOnAMotive yeah, and later I realised that this was more about your ownership experience and not about on paper specifications. And no one can "experience" safety rating and that too in all cars 😜

[@yashbhavsar6924]

What are your thoughts on buying Hyryder?

@@MUNIKUMARNM Thanks.

[@vinay9139]

Kushaq has overall better score since safety points can't be overlooked. What will you do with Kia features if cars gets broken into half and you dont survive the accidents.

[@KKCOnAMotive]

Safety was not included as the HyRyder is still unrated. Also for some folk (like you) safety is the most important part, they will ignore everything and just buy the safest car.

[@srinu57]

@@KKCOnAMotiveI feel none of the cars are VFM for the price they ask. We should not buy them. I feel that if Skoda / VW launch a hybrid motor version with 1.5 TSI 4 cylinder engine and cylinder deactivation technology and add a bit of upmarket interiors (maybe VW Taigun), I think then the market will turn around to the Germans. Just waiting for that.. Or maybe for Toyota RAV4

[@abhishekgang1]

Thnaks for this review, based on vfm and relaibility i pikced GV and am a proud owner as its very smooth

[@gautamsingh9847]

Even I like the KIA Seltos bcz of its fun drive nd I think better nd rich interior in some aspects its better than the Toyota ......very well explained video sir 👍🏻👍👍

[@vinitghodasara6709]

I own the seltos Gtx diesel AT, i had the same problem as your mentioned that the suspension setup was on a harder side. I changed all the 4 jumpers, and fitted which we get in new Creta. The ride has become 30% Softner as compared to the previous one. Both the companies Kia and Hyundai use the same suspension setup for seltos as well as creta. Just that the Hyundai jumpers are towards the softer side.

[@SuyashKaul]

You shouldve tried Carens suspension if possible as it has a better ride and handling balance than Creta as well

Ran 52K till now and lately changed from Michelin to Conti UC6 same profile. Replaced stock tryes within 80kms in the beginning.

A really unique way of comparing vehicles. However, you have forgotten to add safety parameter into your analysis which I guess is the most important thing.

[@vivekmg2300]

great video. pls also add talk about steering, braking and price. i think from what I have heard and experienced, Seltos steering does not match the other two. Also include these as part of your points system.

[@KKCOnAMotive]

Vivek, did speak about the steering, chassis and braking. Also Seltos feels the best in Sport mode with the heavy steering and stiff suspension setup, all these points were discussed in the Driving section. Thanks for your comment.

[@vivekmg2300]

thanks, may be I missed it

[@SSPCars]

Everything was great as usual 👏👏, but but!! why no point on safety of these cars covered????? Safety should be the top most priorities apart from the other points which you mentioned isn't it 🤨🤨

[@thakkyo]

I think the weightage of points is irrational. 3 points for safety can be set off against 3 points for the music system. Same with fuel efficiency and value for money

For Kushaq get a bmc filter and add a euro channel. The air by default is coming from the engine bay. So get a Euro channel.

[@KKCOnAMotive]

Thanks for your suggestions, but i intend to keep the Kushaq stock.

[@diviyandavid]

Are you saying that the Kushaq gives more mileage than the Seltos? Pls be clear, as I believe that's not true.

[@KKCOnAMotive]

The Kushaq I own is the 1L 3 cyl turbo torque converter gbox & Seltos which i own is the 1.4L 4 cyl Turbo with Dual Clutch A/T. I own both the cars & very well know my subject. I stand by the FE comments.

[@ravirajminawala9809]

Toyota could have differented the hyryder from maruti grand vitara by changing the intrior design, something on the lines of hyundai and kia as i feel hyryder brand identity is going down, as people feel the pinch to spend the extra for the hyryder rather go for the maruti...

[@Hdhfhfhc]

Not wise to ignore the safety rating. If its not available for hyryder then you could have marked it as 1. That’s a mandatory point which must not be ignored. Your final point table would have still would have been in the same order because Seltos is 1 in safety anyways and Kushaq is. 3.

[@KKCOnAMotive]

@@KKCOnAMotive Yes I know winner would not change and I mentioned it too in my comment. But its good to let people know that Kushaq is the safest car out of all three. PS: I dont have Kushaq anyways so Im not advocating just like that for Kushaq. I just think safety aspect must be informed to general audiences.
