In real world driving, does the Seltos X-Line’s DCT transmission live up to the hype?

It's honestly a little bit of a letdown. In traffic it's jerky, and sometimes it hesitates when you need power. I just wish they'd stayed with a regular auto.

It's a mixed bag. Great for the highway and spirited driving, but it can be a pain in the city. It requires you to drive a little different.

I think it’s a bit overkill for a car like this. Most drivers don’t see much real world benefit for the complexity and potential reliability issues added by the DCT.

It was a bit of an adjustment, but I really like the DCT now. In sport mode, it’s more engaging to drive than a regular automatic.
Is Kia Seltos X Line's matte paint worth the extra hassle of maintenance?
03 January 2025 12:27
Totally worth it! My X-Line has matte paint on it, and people turn their heads when I go anywhere. It’s not the most beautiful car around, but it needs some more TLC, which is what owning a unique car is all about.
Is Kia Seltos X Line's matte paint worth the extra hassle of maintenance?

It's a nightmare to maintain, no way. I wish I got a non matte finish. I am constantly paranoid about bird poop ruining the paint, and every little scratch shows up.

It depends on your lifestyle. If you’re a car enthusiast and like to detail, then go for it. If you just want a hassle free daily driver, go with the regular paint.

I think it's overrated. It quickly becomes old hat, and you’re stuck with a high maintenance paint job that’s difficult to repair if it gets damaged.

Matte paint is awesome but you must be prepared for upkeep. I use special waterless wash and it ain't that bad once you get the hang of it.
The Kia Seltos' safety rating: Is it a deal-breaker, or is something else more important?
03 January 2025 12:18
I definitely took note of the safety rating, but after test driving it, I thought it was worth the overall package. It’s solid on the road and the active safety features are good.
The Kia Seltos' safety rating: Is it a deal-breaker, or is something else more important?
03 January 2025 12:18
It's a deal-breaker for me. The features are good but I can’t justify conceding on safety, especially not for a family car. For the same price, there are safer options.

People overreact to these ratings I think. But there are still many older cars on Indian roads that are less safe than the Seltos. Plus, the higher variants also get 6 airbags, which is something.

Being someone who switched from a 5 star rated car to the Seltos, I do feel the difference in build quality. However, the Seltos more than makes up for it with better visibility and handling, both of which factor into safety.

03 January 2025 12:18
I bought the Seltos, though, because the rating didn’t matter to me, as I was more interested in the features and the looks. I'll admit, though, every time I see a crash news, I wonder if I made the right choice.

It’s worrying about the safety rating, but I think Kia has improved on some things in newer models. They’re taking it seriously, as shown by the addition of more airbags and safety tech in recent variants.

The star rating is not the only thing. Good brakes and stability control are good for accident prevention; the Seltos has that. Still, I wish Kia had made the structural integrity of its cars better in coming cars.
Is the Kia Seltos really that good or have they just been good at marketing?
03 January 2025 12:18
It's been a year since I have owned my Seltos and honestly, it has been pretty great. You get the features for the price, and it’s hard to beat. It’s not perfect but for a daily driver it ticks most boxes.

Clever marketing for sure. I tried one out for a test drive and was underwhelmed. The car felt stiff and the safety ratings are a joke for a car at this price. You’re buying bells and whistles and not substance.

It's a bit of both. Kia’s marketing game is strong, but the Seltos does offer a lot of features. I don't think that it's a bad car, but maybe it's not quite as revolutionary as they say.

I’m impressed as a person who changed a much more expensive German car. Premium without the premium price tag, the Seltos feels premium. Mostly it delivers on most fronts, it's not just hype.
