Pros & Cons Comparison

Things We Like in Kia Seltos

Very handsome design, rivaling Sierra on some aspects
Two Petrol and 1 diesel engine on offer

Things We Like in Honda Elevate

A refreshingly simple and solidly built car that will outlive its owners.
Interior space is among the best for all occupants.

Things We Don't Like in Kia Seltos

Its a design refresh with no notable engine upgrades and no AWD
Why does US gets 190 hp engine and we don't?

Things We Don't Like in Honda Elevate

Screen savvy younger buyers will have trouble accepting Hondas age old "less is more" rule!
That i-VTEC engine will feel a bit lethargic to anyone who has driven a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol in Korean or German offerings
