About the ReviewerPurchase Not PurchasedDriven ForHaven't driven it40 - Seltos Poor Body Built QualityLook and interiors are great, however that can be deceptive as the body built quality is pathetic. In Feb 2024 there was rain accompanied by hail in Chandigarh, the Seltos body suffered extensive damage while my own body and that of my second car of another brand were absolutely unaffected. It's shameful for a 17 lakh car. Besides the company has not responded after repeatedly escalating this issue over phone and mail.Rating Parameters(Out of 5)1

About the ReviewerPurchase NewDriven ForFew hundred kilometers33 - After 1 Lakh kilometre Kia Seltos HTK+ petrol full review by ownerIt was an amazing buying experience for this car from Dhingra Kia Gurgaon . Earlier I was driving Swift 2013 (diesel) but after switching to it this was a rocket for me as I switched from 1.2L to 1.5L whether I am driving a petrol now . Awesome and classy looks in this variant at this price point , all the basic features just like all power windows, electric mirror folding , wireless key , DRL'S with projector headlights . Performance is quite good with 1.5L petrol engine initial pickup is just like wow . Service and maintenance cost is very normal for this segment of car and the running cost is also normal. Normal at every 10K kms cost approx. 10K-12K.it have a lot of pros as we got wireless Android auto and Apple CarPlay with touch screen infotainment system and rear wiper + defogger , steering control, cruise control, wireless key ,16 Inches alloy wheels . Main cons is that the alloy design is not so good in the facelift also this variant have the same alloy design I think they need to update them . All over car is very awesome and just worth of money . Although I have completed 1 lakhs km with no work in engine ,gearbox and all mechanical parts just maintaining the wear and tear it's performing very well in it.Rating Parameters(Out of 5)4
