Is paying a premium for the regular Seltos worth it when you can get the X Line exclusive features?
03 January 2025 12:27
The cool features of the X-Line are there, but I'd prefer that those be available as individual options versus as a whole package. I want to be able to pick and choose what I want.
Does the Seltos X-Line’s interior quality hold up to more premium brands?
03 January 2025 12:27
The interior of the X-Line impressed me. Materials feel high quality and design is modern. It’s not quite Audi level, but for the price you can’t really complain.

For a Kia, it’s good, but it’s not up to par with a true luxury brand. Some areas feel cheap, in terms of plastics, and the overall fit and finish doesn't quite make it, either.
Does the Seltos X-Line’s interior quality hold up to more premium brands?

I think it hits a sweet spot. It’s 90% of the premium feel at 70% of the cost of a luxury brand. That's more than enough for most people.

In fact the tech in the X Line is better than some luxury cars I've been in. It’s really upscale feeling with all the big screens and features.

It's all smoke and mirrors. It’s fine at a glance, but you can see where they cut corners if you spend any time in it. You get what you pay for.
In real world driving, does the Seltos X-Line’s DCT transmission live up to the hype?
03 January 2025 12:27
I love the DCT in my X-Line! It super shifts quick and makes the car feel very sporty. It's awesome once you get used to it.
In real world driving, does the Seltos X-Line’s DCT transmission live up to the hype?
03 January 2025 12:27
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.
In real world driving, does the Seltos X-Line’s DCT transmission live up to the hype?

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

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?
03 January 2025 12:27
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.
Is Kia Seltos X Line's matte paint worth the extra hassle of maintenance?
03 January 2025 12:27
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.
Is Kia Seltos X Line's matte paint worth the extra hassle of maintenance?
03 January 2025 12:27
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.
Is Kia Seltos X Line's matte paint worth the extra hassle of maintenance?
03 January 2025 12:27
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.
The Kia Seltos' safety rating: Is it a deal-breaker, or is something else more important?
03 January 2025 12:18
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.

03 January 2025 12:18
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.
