Seltos Review (odo 2200kms). This is my first car which is definitely a VFM.After driving for over 2000 km, the car handles highway and potholes well even for city driving it's handling is good . Talking about interiors it feels premium even for a base model and the physical buttons for AC controls is what I appreciate the most which doesn't take you away from your driving and for this price you are also getting cruise control which is a cherry on the top. The few nehs are not adjustable headrest and rear seat armrest for rear seats.Other than this I am loving this beast of a machine kudos to kia to make this affordable.

Best car under 23lakhs segment. I have this car since 20 days,I got a diesel automatic GTX A .The Engine is very smooth and refined as compared to other Diesel cars.It has lumbar support, which is comfortable for long rides.The fit and finish is top-notch; no complaints for that. The best speakers,as it has 8 bose speakers which are very good. The 447l boot space is more than enough.

Kia Seltos GTX+ Diesel AT — Short Review. I’m very happy with the buying experience, especially with how quickly I received the car. Despite the initially long waiting period, I was pleasantly surprised to get the car within just 6–8 days of booking. I’ve been really impressed with the Seltos overall. The feature list, ride quality, comfort, engine refinement and automatic gearbox make it a very enjoyable car for both city and highway driving. The diesel engine feels smooth and refined, and the cabin remains comfortable even on longer journeys. Fuel economy has also been impressive, with 19.6 km/L(highway) achieved while following the posted speed limits, which is excellent for a diesel automatic SUV. A few areas could be improved. The suspension rebound could be better controlled for a more settled and comfortable ride over uneven roads. Boot space feels slightly limited with the parcel tray in place, and the rear AC could be stronger—a dedicated rear blower would have been a welcome addition. The rear wiper could also be slightly larger for better coverage. On highways, especially during rainy conditions, the high-beam intensity could be better, although a headlight alignment check might help. Overall, the Seltos is a very well-rounded package, combining comfort, refinement, features, and impressive fuel economy.

YouTube review comments1,000 kmSeptember 2026

Owner of a driven 1000 km new Seltos 7DCT (Petrol). HTK (o). I named it The SILENT BEAST. Pros At 80 to 85 kmph highway (meerut-Delhi expressway) cruise with 2 people was able to make 24 kmpl. normal city drive 10.5 kmpl. bumper to bumper traffic 6-8 kmpl. No software glitch spacious 2nd row Kia exceptional service Speakers really good sudden rush of turbo after accelerating from full stop from old Seltos is fixed head rest for middle passenger which is not there in Creta. suspension is great on normal bumps on Indian highways particularly on Eastern peripheral while cruising at 130 kmph (mileage 11 kmpl). Cons It has a softer suspension with 2000 kg (equivalent to Innova) not good for quick manoeuvres to overtake on hills even with a turbo. It feels car is about to go out of control. No fog light as accessories :( No rain sensing wiper in 7DCT HTK (o) chrome Accessories fitment by dealer was very poor. Not feeling confident with breaks Overall This is a wonderful family 5 seater car for highway cruising.

Big boss. I upgrade from my previous Tata Tigor Diesel to the Kia Seltos GTX Petrol Automatic has been a very satisfying one. Coming from a diesel manual that covered nearly 100,000 km, my appreciation carries extra weight because i've experienced a car over a long ownership period. Some of the things enjoying are exactly what many owners highlight about the Seltos GTX: Premium interior quality with a modern dashboard and well-finished cabin. Smooth automatic transmission, especially in city traffic compared to a manual. Refined petrol engine with strong performance and quiet operation. Comfortable suspension that balances ride quality and handling. Feature-rich package with technology and convenience features that make daily driving enjoyable.

Sophistication Meets Efficiency – My 2026 Seltos Diesel AT Experience. After driving the 2026 Kia Seltos Diesel Automatic for a few weeks, I can confidently say Kia has nailed the formula for a premium mid-size SUV. ​What I Loved: ​The Transmission: Unlike some jerky AMTs or loud CVTs, this 6-speed Automatic (Torque Converter) is silent and very predictable. ​Tech Overload: The dual 12.3-inch screens are crisp and lag-free. Having a dedicated 5-inch screen just for climate control is a genius ergonomic touch. ​Presence: The new \"Digital Tiger Face\" and the \"Star Map\" LED tail lights give it a futuristic, aggressive look that turns heads. ​Comfort: The ride quality is much more balanced now—firm enough for high-speed stability but soft enough to soak up road patches comfortably. ​Points to Note: The Diesel engine is built for efficiency rather than outright \"sporty\" speed. While it’s not a race car, it’s a very competent cruiser. Also, the gloss black interior bits look amazing but do catch fingerprints easily! ​Final Thoughts: If you want a car that looks like it's from 2030 but has the reliability and range of a classic diesel, the 2026 Seltos is the way to go.

YouTube review comments560 kmSeptember 2026

I booked clavis EV but the marketing team gave me incorrect timelines and after waiting for two months for Clavis EV and kept on stalling me, so I cancelled the booking and got Sierra EV empowered A which is was somehow with the dealer and that was the best decision I made. I was surprised to see how good Tata’s marketing team have become. I had a really bad experience with Kia and it’s been 10 days since I cancelled my booking and haven’t got the refund. The best thing about sierra is range, I managed to get around 560km range. Did a round trip from Ghaziabad to Vrindavan without charging. Features are also good and even the build quality is good along with great suspension. Let’s see how the first service is gonna be.. I had a really bad experience with Kia which I never expected as I already had multiple Hyundai cars in the past and had a great experience but not with Kia.. As far as fit and finish is concerned I had panel gaps in my 2020 1.4 Turbo sx option creta as well. I feel people have bias towards foreign brand and are over critical of Tata and Mahindra. I understand there might be some issues but it’s not that the other foreign brands are perfect…

Excellent Drive Quality, Comfort, and Features. The Kia Seltos offers a smooth and comfortable driving experience with excellent ride quality and modern features. The cabin is spacious, well-designed, and packed with useful technology. Fuel efficiency of around 16 kmpl is satisfactory, and the overall build quality feels premium. Even within the first few hundred kilometres, the car has been enjoyable to drive and meets expectations in terms of comfort, performance, and value for money.

CarWale owner reviewsApril 2026

The diesel engine is smooth and good for long rides. I went for a test drive for the diesel automatic, and I really like the comfort and the fit and finish of the car. I will go for the diesel as I feel petrol cars have an uncertain future for 4-5 years at least. The sound quality is good. This car misses a few features, like rain-sensing wipers, that were really essential. But overall, I will recommend this over other Kia and Hyundai cars because of the new K3 platform.

1) I recently bought a Seltos DIESEL MANUAL a month ago. If I drive comfortably it gives City 15-16, Highway 22+ (90-105 cruise) , NO REGENERATION YET. 2) Drove it for around 4500kms. He's totally right about 3) the suspension noise on breakers, but with time I got the idea to clear the breakers without making the suspension upset 4) A creepy rattling noise comes from the dashboard above the steering wheel area from day one. 5) Vibration kinda feels in the brake paddle if you brake hard. 6) The steering wheel is also tilted a bit towards the right side, ig that might be cleared by steering calibration.

Powerful Turbo Petrol DCT with Premium Comfort. The Kia Seltos HTK(O) Turbo Petrol DCT impressed me with its sporty performance, smooth 7-speed DCT gearbox, and premium road presence. The turbo-petrol engine feels powerful during overtakes and highway cruising, while the automatic transmission makes city driving stress-free. The cabin is spacious, comfortable, and packed with useful features for daily use. Ride quality is well balanced, and the steering feels confident at higher speeds. Safety features and build quality inspire confidence on long trips. Mileage is decent for a turbo petrol automatic when driven sensibly. Overall, the Seltos HTK(O) DCT offers a great blend of performance, comfort, practicality, and value, making it an excellent family SUV for both city and highway driving.

Seltos 2026 gives very premium feel... Seltos gives a very premium feel. Looks & interior is best in the segment. The driving experience is also very good; city mileage is 13- 14, and highway mileage is above 20 if driven in cruise. Seltos 2026 road presence and balance is better because of the K3 platform.

New seltos 2026 htx manual drive review. Everything was good, drove the car with the full family in the Bangalore City traffic conditions in evening peak hours, handling was good, even at 30 kmph, steering becomes heavier, car looks beautiful from outside and inside, instrument cluster looks beautiful, gears are smooth, headlight throw is good, the boot is quite big. Overall car is spacious. Braking is good. You can feel the road presence. Cons: With a full load, it takes some time to take a pickup. Big speed breakers do touch if not slowed down properly Gear indication is not there, though gear upshift notification is there. 360 is not there. The speaker's sound quality is good. So much use of hard plastic in the interior I don't like, but those look good.

Good looking car with all the required modern features. Looks: This looks good inside out. Quality: Feels sturdy with heavy doors. Interior plastic and seats are made with quality material. Features: Drove HTK+(O); all the necessary features are available. Mileage: In Pune city traffic, MID shows up to 9kmpl max, even sometimes lower than 9kmpl. Ride: Absorbing ride, no issue with small potholes. Handling: Steering is light yet weighs sufficiently with speed increase. Very easy in the city. Entertainment: Good Speaker system, no distortion at high volume. AC: This is a problem area I feel; in the monsoon pleasant season, the AC just feel okay, takes more time to cool the cabin. I think it will be a problem in harsh summer.

Comfortable But Misses Out On A Punchy Engine. Clocked 2500 + on the ODO of my 2026 Diesel Seltos. The car is very comfortable and feels adequately powered in city riding and returns a mileage of 14+, the suspension is good too. On highways it feels underpowered as you have to floor the accelator to get it past 100 kmph mark and can be frustrating.

Fully loaded Base Model. I bought this car at first sight, the front looks huge and if we talk about the interior, it has some sort of minimalistic cockpit and use of matt finish carbon fibre is 100% . All over ride quality is smooth it insulation in the hood also has hydraulic studs, and the thing i like most is AC operation, even after the manual option it works like automatic, wow
