2023 Kia Seltos - Positives & Negatives | First Drive
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ค. 2023
- We finally drove the recently launched 2023 Kia Seltos facelift to find out all its big positives and negatives. While it surely has become more feature-rich, it's also the most powerful/fastest car in its category, thanks to the new 1.5-litre Turbocharged engine. This engine puts out an impressive 158bhp and 253Nm and is claimed to do 0-100kmph sprint in less than 9 seconds. Though we could manage to do the same in 10.5 seconds with two people in the car weighing over 160kgs in total. While it still offers multiple engine options - 1.5-litre NA, 1.5-litre Turbo and 1.5-litre diesel, its Turbo and diesel version don't get a proper manual transmission. They instead get a 1.5-litre iMT - a clutchless manual transmission. Prices of the vehicle range from 10.89 lacs to Rs 19.99 lacs (ex-showroom)

Seltos, Creta, Taigun, Kushaq, Hyrder, Grand Vitara or upcoming Honda Elevate? 😅
Phle bhi Seltos abhi bhi Seltos looks features sbhhh h
@@hi-px8rhsahi baat. Safety mein bhi improve hui hai kyuki structural reinforcement kiya gaya hai. Training module mein dekha tha bohoto ne aur maine bhi. Ye seltos purani wali se better hai in terms of build
@@xarvis6538 yes this one is going to be safest car in india..i am going to book it now
@@crankboost I think 4 stars not safest
@@xarvis6538 tell me the car ho 140kmph+ crash test hui h
sbh cars 64kmph pr hui h
The interior of htx plus looks premium with that beige colour scheme
Very verygood review hope they score well
Diesel engine of Seltos is very very smooth & punchy and the Manual gearbox is literally makkhan ❤️
The interirors in the X-Line variant are excellent but the matte finish is a deal breaker for me. It's just too difficult to maintain. You'll have to get PPF if you want to keep the matte paint looking good but that is another 1 Lac+ expense. Scratches are easily removeable on glossy paint but with matte paint, the whole panel needs to be repainted. Unless you get the PPF. Other than the interiors, not much difference between GTX+. The HUD is useless. I initially booked the X-Line because of the interirors but ended up going with the GTX+ just because I don't want the hassle of dealing with the matte finish.
Exactly, matte finish will look bad after a few years without ppf, the interiors are great but even the gtx+ ones are fine and you’re not stuck with one color option.
Thanks for your valuable inputs guys. I am planning to buy DCT PETROL. Is it reliable for Indian roads? Any valuable information is appreciated.
yeah its reliable but you have to learn some of the quirks of driving a DCT. Put it in neutral on stop lights and not to brake ride, otherwise its a smooth as butter transmission.@@aaromal2069
@@BigGunner234Dont let people fool you , There is no need for you to get a 1 lakh rupee ppf done , ask kia dealership itself that you want to completely paint your car from outside ( thoda jugaad and car ke history mein v nhin aayega ) . I got it done on my creta for 82k after 4 years of use
just polish and repaint the whole car to glossy and its cheaper than getting a ppf for the car . so you keep both the top variant and reduce the cost of maintaince by spending a little for a new paint job
Still MG Astor has the most luxurious interiors in the segment. But features wise Seltos has nailed it because the resolution and clarity of camera, quality of music system, ventilated seats, touch response of the infotainment system, the drivers screen unit, all these things feel much premium than the Astor.
When you are suggesting people go with the X-Line, you should also explain all the differences in maintaining the matte finish compared to the glossy finish of the other variants. Leaving out these details is a bit irresponsible on your part.
Looks awesome❤
Good one.. curious about NCAP SAFETY RATING?
Your calming content
buying this month end Xline seltos..already booking done bro...good review
IMT is Awesome. I get knee pain with clutch and fully automatic is expensive. IMT really fits the bill and comfort in this.
Just check VW DSG once you will not able to use IMT after that.
@@FlexWidSahil
You didn't read the 2nd point.
"Expensive"
What a smooth video sir!
Nice review...is this shoot location near nagpur?
Is maintaining matt finish is harder than normal painting ?
Great Sir👌
Gr8 advice
Bhaiya olive colour lana chaya ki balck plz suggest karo
hi sir..... all your reviews are very nice and informative. My request to have one video regarding different car's maintainance, engine reliability, spare parts availability, resale value, cost comparison of commonly used wear & tear parts like brake shoes, air filter, oil filter etc and frequency of wear and tear under normal driving condition. It would help us all buyers to decide the perfect car as per need and requirement. I didn't find a perfect vid on this across the net. Everyone just reviews the visible physical things of the car. But what I have mentioned is definitely a imp aspect for Indian buyer. If possible kindly make a video on this.
Very good video. One expert suggestion I want from you. I own the 2021 X Line (Top Model). I am wanting to change and buy the new Seltos but I am also fascinated by Honda Elevate (Now even more with mileage figures out). Suggest me which one to go for? In Seltos panoramic sunroof is one feature I like and also the new infotainment system and instrument cluster. Kindly help in taking the decision. I have booked both :)
Elevate is just good looking outside inside is 20yr old and engine NVH very disappointing even if compared to Honda City
Legend ..
Was waiting for the review …!
Hope it answers all your questions
@@ICN Yes sir ..!
Yes u r right seltos is a complete package engine refinement power performance drop dead gorgeous looks featues only thing kia is lacking in build quality wish they could give at least 4 star safety if nt 5.
Build quality is good bro , safety rating assessment does NOT depend only on build quality. But indian people never understand this fact
I have Taigun 1.0. Kindly do a detailed comparison between Taigun 1.5 TSI and Seltos 1.5 Turbo.
Would you mind telling me the background song, sir? Since I am so excited to listen to!
The fact is nobody talks about the engine quality, they keep repeating how good features are and how they look everytime.
I know it is segment apart but how it is compared to Tucson?
Creta diesel sx or kia seltos htx imt Diesel which varaint to buy please suggest ??
Any idea/tentative date about crash test of this facelift car?
How is the build quality? Is it better than 3 star?
Why you don't use video stabilization in pov every time
Please bro do the review of mid/most selling variant also. Everyone has not the budget to purchase top variant
Kyaaa classy feelin aa raha hai dekh kar hi interiors
was the stabilization in your camera off?
How is the chassis, strenght of kia seltos
Pls compare with 1.4 turbo dct of creta with 1.5 turbo dct pls
HTK+ variant ka review daalo bro
HTX petrol or diesel. 1.2 9r 1.5 lt which is best
How about Xline Diesel TC model ?
Hope they have given that matte finish look in other variants.
How about mileage for xline?
Excellent presentation sir. Very nice package. Wish there was X line without panoramic sunroof option and TC instead of DCT. No matter what, Indian seltos brings back that picture of being broken into two pieces which can break ones heart.
There is an X-Line with TC in the Diesel.
Sir, seltos and honda elevate ka comparison video chahiye
creta 2023 vs seltos vs nexon petrol vs nexon EV or grand vitara which is best #15 lac budget
I wish to have HTX Plus with a Manual - but sadly it's not there.
How safe it is?
How many stars in global encap
I only wish that Kia improves the build-quality and VW/ Škoda brings in ADAS features, especially the blind spot camera/ warning, and automatic braking.. That will make the fight more interesting..
(I don’t think lane keep assist is of any real use in Indian conditions, so giving that a pass.)
Being a Slavia owner i can say one thing the interior quality of the car is shit and AC cuts off on its own in traffic. The milage is merely 6kmpl also the driver side window is super sluggish and sometimes doesn’t roll up in one go. Though driving wise and built quality of the car is great but there is so much cost cutting everywhere to compensate build quality!
@@karanb8489 That's what I have noticed in my friend's Kushaq as well. AC issue in the traffic, Avg is exactly 6kmpl, the salesperson said 14-15 in the city which is just a lie. the driver window button is sluggish and sometimes doesn't even work at all. They went with build quality but skipped on everything else, which for a car costing approx 20 lakhs should not be expected.
Matt black looks smashing
3-4 people in my group interested in Buying this new Seltos…
Everyone has one common confusion 😅😅
Everyone likes the TECHLINE CAMEL COLOR Interior & X-Line’s Exterior 😅😅😅
Also, no one wants MATTE GREY and X-Line do not offer any other options so everyone is somewhat disappointed 😅😅
what ur group people or any one decided to buy which variant.
@@ajithprabhas7021 nobody went for X-Line finally 😂
2 have booked the Black Color GT+ (1 Turbo Petrol DCT & 1 Diesel AT)
The other 2 is still thinking 😆
The Turbo Petrol DCT friend has a KIA CODE (I think there is some facilities for previous KIA owners) so he will get the car delivered soon… 👍🏻
Is it petrol only?
Should I go for diesel tc or turbo dct in gt line? Living in NCR, regular running is 2500 km monthly nd not into racing and fan of over taking, family person
Go for DCT. And drive in manual mode in city to avoid the gearbox heating issue. Bcz these DCT’s and DSG’s get very confused in traffic and keep on up shifting and down shifting. Manual mode will keep the gears in control.
Vikash bhaiya Ram 🙏 Ram apke hi रिव्यू का wait Tha
Yogi ji video to pasand aya❤ apko kaisa laga nagpur.
I am planning for htx 1.5 petrol manual I think it is good option considering price as per your video, but, as per your drive is suspension good for city ride, because on highways slightly stiffer suspension is good.
Mt le bhai ptrol deseil only
@@khannadim6138 petro manual hi choose kia h bhai, but suspension ka issue suspension ka h, mujhe seltos creta se better lagi in many aspects but suspension ka doubt h
Tune huye h shokers
Pr deseil hi lo bhai plz .m 6 mnth m becha creta ptrol
@@khannadim6138 kya reason tha bechne ka
Maza aaya 🫀
i am confused in Gtx+ and Xline variant i want to know about xline color since it is a dark grey matt color looks great and premium but i am worried about maintaince of matt color. Is it good to buy matt color how it will work in long terms usuage and how to maintain it like washing or precautions required for it.
Or should i opt for gtx+ variants which has glossy finish.
Matt is hard to maintain, have to wash with a microfiber cloth, get it if you are willing to get a ppf on top of it.
I’m also in the same dilemma as you. People say it’s not so easy to maintain Matt colour. But x line provides HUD and green sort of interiors it looks great. And price difference is also 20k only which is vfm. So I decided to go for x line.
@@masudkhanbiradar3901 right.
Great presentation. I need a suggestion. Planning to book x line variant. But confused should I go for diesel or petrol variant since both are priced the same. I do not use the car daily and occasionally I go out of station. Please suggest which one is better. Thank you.
Petrol ❤️
@@tusharsharma4907 thanks. My inclination is towards petrol only but since we get better mileage with diesel and cost is same as petrol, I am a bit confused. Unless I don’t find any solid advantage of diesel I will be going for petrol only.
diesel for mileage..
Diesel will give you mileage and it’s driving experience is top notch enjoy diesel engine drive before it’s banned
I have the same question. Petrol DCT known to have heating issues and diesel might be banned in the future.
is creta suspension better than seltos for a road with some potholes ?
Yes, slightly better.
TH-camrs nowadays blindly provide biased reviews!!
No hate on Seltos but look at this guy mentioned in thumbnail saying its the fastest car!
With 160ps /253 tarique it may win 400 meters dragrace / maintain a car length gap against Kushaq/ Taigun but can it really beat handling/ safety front??!
Are we blindfolded and buying unsafe cars? Are we blindly buying cars just for getting gimmicks inside??
Look at US / global markets as people hardly die in accidents
We have seen people survived in major crashes as the cars have strong built/stable chasis
Don't we deserve such build cars? Why are we not considering such cars and end up buying built 2* cars?
Sadly Kia did not even mention about its structure but just by giving air bags / gimmics will save us?!
Wake-up india, its time to buy safer cars!
Shame on youtubers for supporting unsafe cars 😢
#Isupportsafercars
Sir pulsar ns 125 ka review dijiena please
I am interested for seltos but for safety i am little worried.
Do we have any idea when the crash test of this facelift version will happen
Gncap is just marketing gimmic
when is the crash test planned
What about build quality ?
Sir diesel lena chiye ya nhi 2023 me
Been waiting for your review
Already Booked
Decided to take htx variant
Which i consider vfm car
Yes little concerned about safety but fine
No ADAS!
If 80% drive is in the city, ADAS is pointless. In Indian traffic, ADAS is more risky than helpful.
You made the right choice - HTX is the most value for money variant. We said the same in our variants explained video. 😊
@@tykemonster6416 I test drove Seltos GT and at 22L on-road price I felt I needed more features. Finally booked MG Astor with ADAS.
@@dare-er7swif you can help me with what made you go to astor over seltos; i was considering it too but dint hear anything good about long term reliability, mileage and etc. appreciate your views
Orange 🍊 city me apka swagat hai sir 🙏
Seltos to theek hai, tell me which song is that? The one playing in start

Manual hoota to definitely lene k bare mein soch skta thaa...aur 1.5 na ka top hota to bhi ....but skoda or vw would be more fun 🖐️
👌
Sir, something is not correct, please see the video from 6.30 to 7, you are in manual variant but you are showing the automatic variant's gear shifter area.
Hello vikash sir
I want to buy a car on road 15 lakh budget. my selected car are kia seltos facelift, hyundai creta and grand vitara. My running 500 km. Per month. I want to buy best miledge and safty feature include all feature related car so please suggest which car is best
Pick between GV and Seltos. Seltos has 6 airbags as an extra and GV has consistent interiors in less price. Take a test drive of these 2
Comapare to kushaq handling , which one is better??
Have spoken about it in the video. You’ll have to watch the whole video for that 😅
@@ICN that's fine
Please answer my question Iam Getting used sx4 2012 model diesel under 2.50 which is run 55000 km should I have to buy or not at that price
Don’t
@@ICN Can you please tell me in brief why I have to not buy the reason is price or other thing please tell me this also please
Song name please?
❤❤❤
One should be aware of build quality and safety aspects of any car but hardly anyone comments on same, may be to help car companies. That's bad as apart from mileage and technology safety aspect should matter in buying decision.
Yeah, you should be aware about its safety reinforcements in the chassis and the weight has gone up by 70-80kgs. Be aware that's the point
There is no competition except creta ... if we talk value for money and some sense for feel.
Safety, driving pleasure.. ke ilawa sab kuch hai.
New Seltos would be my first car. What would be a better transmission option DCT Petrol vs TC Diesel with regards to longevity and maintenance. Looking for overall performance and VFM option. Pls suggest ?
Don't buy this car if it is your first buy a Toyota if you have that budget
For first car maruthi , Hyundai, Kia , Toyota makes sense...easy to maintain..u can damage them and resale easily.....ur next car can be vw , skoda , merc , bmw etc ..these German cars will imprint in your DNA,..then u ll start loving cars..till then learn driving ans basics of maintenance in the brands mentioned.
Can you speak more about the bad crash test ratings, and how they remain the same?
Hyundai nd Kia they never talk about crash test
People are least bothered about ratings & that's why their sales are on top 3 in the list everytime.
If people aren't serious about safety then they will never digest others recommendations.
Why nobody talks about NA engines especially IVT, enthusiasts hi khali nahi lete Seltos I guess
NA engines aur manual transmission pe b top model de dete KIA waale🤷🏼♂️
Maruti se accha hyundai jyada concerned h safety ke liye isiliye hyundai apni har nai gadi mei safety badha rha hai taki minimum 3 star to aye hi baki jb crash test hga to pta chalega but I am expecting minimum 3-4 star of kia seltos.
Dear Frnd. Maruti atleast have 2 cards which are 4 Starts, Hyundai has none. In my view both are culprits who don't consider Indians life as life. We should promote brands which giv s us safe cars like Tata, Mahindra, VW, Skoda
Feedback: talk more in details about the technicalities driving experience suspension, noise , handling dynamics …
May be reduced some info which is already covered in previous video, if length is a concern.
Not sure if you have seen the whole video. We dedicated at least 6-7 minutes explaining how the suspensions feel and if they have improved the ride quality or handling. Yes we didn’t talk about the NVH levels, which we should have. But we didn’t since we only tested the 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine. Petrol engine are generally way more refined than their diesel counterparts.
@@ICN I mean it’s ok but expecting more for people like me , so that this channel stands out of the crowd
Tyres, breaking performance, cornering , suspension performance on road undulations expansion joints, cabin noise, real life Adas function accuracy of lane deduction , stability at higher speeds and many more … you know better.
See u in the next video.bye.
Manual diesel lacks very much😢
Icn team is so impressed with the car and you seems to be promoting it to ur highest level. By the way since u were criticizing germans brands so was lil upset to hear. I am ex media employee so i know ur reason of such promotion. But u is it safe? Is the built quality improved? No body knows, safe cars dont give promises of saving ur life but it increases ur changes of being safe to higher extent. Since its just facelift so those aspects dont get addressed. And un new GNCAP norms it cant even retain its 3 star rating.
So please promote safe cars for indians and unsafe featureloaded cars. At the end we all r wise enough.

Kaash aap is road par xuv700 offroad karvaate.
The dash looks really good.
Wonder how the interior is on mid or lower variants.
For safety, we can't trust what the company say until the crash tests are done.
Harrier or seltos
Seltos if it scores at least 4 in global NCAP crash test.
The cabin is very closterphobic head space is less if u are more then 5.10 height yes engine is fast but where is safety and if u have to get x line top varient u have to spend nearly about 23 L on road And one more thing car does feel very small
I am 6'1 and No, the cabin is not claustrophobic. 🤦🏻♂️
Ground clearance is not good
Then buy a truck
