Kia and Hyundai are known to provide more features. Whatever they provide in terms of usability, software, hardware, switches, buttons etc.. just works. No niggles, no lag, no unusual behaviours, no bugs.. they just work. Half baked items / Parts are rare. Most of them, well thought out and executed. Have to give it out to them for that.

1.25x works.. try it 😂

Great video! I have the X-line facelift. Was lucky enough to grab one of the first X-lines in Bangalore in Aug 2023. I agree with every point in the video. However, I've found maintaining the matte grey very easy and quite rewarding too. The fact that a simple wipe off the Jopasu duster pretty much sets it going. Unlike the ones with shine, where you have to go an extra round to make sure it looks shiny and new. I've always said this to anyone who's asked for a car recommendation. It's a great all-rounder - it's quick, it's versatile, it's feature rich. Yes, safety is a hush-hush matter when it comes to Seltos. But we all have to remember, the NCAPs are done at 64kmph. At triple digits, every car is unsafe. A safe driver over a safe car always. Our fathers have survived Maruti 800s for years scott-free. Safe cars are always better, don't take me wrong. But we've to change the narrative to safe driving and priority on safer cars will eventually be a subtopic.

As a Seltos 2020 HTX diesel owner, i must say having test driven the Turbo Petrol, it sure feels like great upgrade. But those 18 inchers sure feels bit let down. Yes they look amazing feels grippy but the 17 is where the sweetspot. Also the Stock tyres are just OKAY. The Conti Uc6 are like the default upgrade for majority of Seltos Owners. Even I'll be upgrading to them after my stock ones are close to 60k KM. They actually make a big difference. The feature list and their Reliability is where the Koreans dwarfs every other manufactures. You'll find yourself using almost all the features on day to day basis more and still find something new down the line. But this Usability/Reliability comes at a cost of slightly higher Replacement cost especially after the warranty ending. As usual a Quick, To point and informative Video by Kartikeya. Feels so fresh like Chai On a cold morning ❤

Amazing video as always guys :D. The music choices are amazing!

I asked u the same in dms earlier, (if u remember). Considering this above all. Thanks man. Anyway, car purchase is a family decision but this video helps me get the best version. For family a seltos is a seltos, may it be diesel, petrol, automatic or manual. But yeah best version is my choice where u help a lot. ❤❤💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏 thanks man, keep up the good work.

Last month, I was considering buying the NS 200 because it’s known for being value-for-money, despite not being fond of its outdated looks. However, after watching your podcast on the NS 200, where Shumi sir emphasized not basing a bike purchase solely on its value-for-money aspect, I reconsidered my decision. As a college student, mileage was also a concern for me with my first bike. I test rode both the Apache 200 4V and the MT-15; both bikes felt modern and upscale. Watching Shumi sir’s video on the R15, and knowing it shares the same engine as the MT-15, was crucial in helping me decide. I finally bought the MT-15, and I must say, this bike is amazing to ride! The engine is incredibly smooth, and the overall feel is awesome. Thank you, Shumi sir, and thanks to the Motorinc team!

Amazing Video. Nice Editing, Good Music. Host bhai aaptu kamal ho. Good Vibes

*Diesel with auto is best for practical & fuel efficiency. although care should be taken to look after it like a baby bcoz it's a diesel means problems will arise if not taken care.crossover SUVs with petrol or turbo petrol is a pocket burner when it comes to mileage on long tours & as vehicle ages mileage is worst suitable for rich who has stock money somewhere rusting. what are your thoughts motor inc ?*

3:47 UV cut glasses are no longer available. Dropped from March manufacture cars, you can’t find it in the latest brochure as well.

Nice review! Although I have a diesel seltos, I am thoroughly enjoying it. Is it just me or it feels like you guys are whispering and not talking in your normal voice mostly in these "should you buy one videos"?

As always, amazing take ❤

Nice video. I suggest that more stress should be given on DPF issues faced by owners who use a diesel cars almost exclusively in the city. Prolonged low speed usage results in clogging of DPF and a difficult ownership experience. I had a chat with one of the service advisors at Kia. He informed me many customers face this issue and think the car has a manufacturing defect. He was very clear that diesel should purchased only if you are doing prolonged highway driving. In the city petrol is the way to go.

The quality to detail that motorinc provides , the teamwork , the ability to convey a proper verdict , everything is on point with this channel you are simply impeccable, the more you pursue putting your efforts in, the viewers getting sculpted their mindsets, constantly improvising their decorum on automobile statistics. Keep growing , keep glowing, Motorinc anytime!! ✨ Leaving my opinion in this video , i would like to upfront my favour , would like to see you guys covering some suzuki products such as the Wagon R and the Celerio , as you have done this same viewabout on Alto K10, thanks for considering if recognized.

Can you please make a comprehensive video on switching from manual to automatic transmission? Many of us have been driving manual cars for a long time and are either planning to switch to automatic or have recently made the switch. We're unsure about the changes we need to make in our driving style and the precautions to take, especially with concerns about transmission overheating and failures. It would be great if you could cover: * Differences in Driving Style: What changes should we make when switching from manual to automatic? How to adapt for different types of automatic transmissions like CVT vs. DCT. Which transmissions will you recommend for hot places (like Delhi, Rajasthan), for hilly areas (like Himachal, uttranchal) etc * Driving in Different Conditions: Tips for driving automatic cars (especially models like the Hyundai Creta or other cars under 20 lakhs) in hilly areas, both ascending and descending. Precautions for bumper-to-bumper traffic, handling automatic cars at signal lights etc * Running-in Automatic Cars: How to properly break in a new automatic car since you don't control the gears directly. * How to maintain your automatic cars (and transmissions) in proper manner These topics would be really helpful for those transitioning to automatic cars. Thanks for considering this!

@motorinc - helpful analysis - could you please throw some light on the reliability of the DCT. Have heard that in city / start-stop traffic the DCT is horrid - jerks, some gears not working, reliability issues, etc, is that so? As a city driver (Delhi - Gurgaon no less) that is the ONLY worry one might have in the longer run. Thanks

Great video. Will you recommend diesel automatic for a regular city drives with enough long (spirited) drives ensuring DPF does not clog?

Bought the GTXplus turbo petrol. Excellent all rounder except the 18" wheels on bumpy roads.

I think the HTK+ variant covers all the essential features. Only miss are Auto Dimming IRVM and Electrically folding ORVMs. I am really confused between the 1.5l NA CVT and the 1.5l Turbo iMT. Both cost the same. Which one would you choose?

Music at the end 💯💯

Man i was waiting for the 3xo view video and found out its memebers only😭. No worries tho!

Very detailed and impressive analysis and report on Seltos. Promptly for us, looking for one. With 4 adults, mostly within the City - Would you recommend DCT or D with AT? I see the Diesel AT is only 117 BHP, which keeps me a bit skeptical. Kindly throw some light on it.

Seltos X -line is begging to be bought just by the way it looks.❤️❤️❤️

Hi Sir!! Just love the way you share your views and analysis about the vehicle..Big fan of you Sir!! I am literally confused between creta n line, seltos & virtus.. Being a fan of manual transmission, i m disappointed with Kia for not giving us a proper manual gearbox in the tubo petrol variant..Can you please help me in choosing the right one between these 3 options?

Play in 1.25 speed😂

Before the Seltos facelift, every reviewer kept saying that the reason Creta outsold Seltos was coz Creta came with panaromic sunroof. Now Seltos facelift also comes with panaromic sunroof and look at its sales number. Its even lower 😂 People choose Creta over Seltos coz its more comfortable and has more service centres throughout India, which is important for Indian buyers.

HTX+ with that Tan Dual Tone Interior is just 😍😍

Loved the iMT Diesel version. Hope they give 360 camera for tech line and GT LINE too for that High 15lakh+ price and bring YELLOW color in Segment

Could you please make a video on IMT vs DCT, and recommend which out of the two transmission is best suited for both city and highway driving? P.S. 80% of my driving is in the city and the rest on the highway.

Hey.. you guys are doing some terrific work 👏 and my go to place to gather more informations about cars. I am driving a 7 year old Baleno manual and considering upgrading to an automatic. I am getting around 1.85 - 2L discount in 2023 make Seltos Htx Plus DCT , but I can only take the delivery around September end as I need to be out of town for couple of months.. is it a good deal ? And is it right to drive home a 9-10 months old car sitting at the dealership ? Another thought in my head is should we wait for couple of years for the next generation Seltos ?

Considering Seltos X-Line price, should i consider xuv700 AX5 which falls in the same price bracket but is a bigger car, bigger engine, and a 5-star rated car? Dont have a need for a lot of features, cruise control and back camera is a must which xuv covers

Hello 👋 motorinc , which of these two car you guys prefer Baleno or grand i10 ? Pls reply

I absolutely loveeee the new seltos

I’ve got 2021 1.4 turbo manual and i miss the manual in new seltos

Background music takes away the real content watching experience. The BGM is not subtle in nature and it constantly annoys. Just a genuine feedback. By the way, i love your podcasts

I love to have a diesel vehicle but unfortunately for now I don't clock that much Kilometres in months 😢

Is it worth upgrading from my 2015 1.6 petrol Creta to a brand new Seltos petrol CVT from a mileage perspective if i want more fuel efficiency and less pinch on my pocket ? Primarily in city driving

If one need to take decision between Creta N Line N 10 vs Seltos X line, which one to go? For Automatic gear box

Are you going to make a separate video on DCT- Diesel as well? Are there no upgrades on that. Would be great if you can share your thoughts on the 7 speed DCT diesel in the comments.

Rear space isn't that good though!! Visited kia seltos at its showroom and found to be like a well made premium small car . Rear space could have been made better i felt !! For 24 L ( seltos X line ) i found hycross Vx hybrid ( 32 L ) worth by paying an additional 8 L ( though both are different segments, but prices are close approximate ) So for 8 L , we get more space, hybrid tech ( efficiency) , premium car , Toyota's resale and reliability. Was it a wise decision @motorinc ??

Hi i had asked the question in a previous video posted by you about Creta. I am getting the 1.5 NA HTX seltos petrol manual and the 1.5 NA SX Creta petrol manual in more or less the same brice bracket. The seltos is 40,000 cheaper and offer some extra features. But my main concern is whether the seltos is good enough for 3 people in the back and its ride quality compared to creta? Which once would you advise?

Which is better, sp125 vs glamour xtech vs raider vs hero Xtreme 125 vs ns/pulsar 125? Which is better? 1. For those who wants to shift from activa to bikes. 2. No backpain, comfortable bike with comfortable position. Sometimes long ride, weekend long ride. 3. Easy to handle, maneuver, eay to handle. 4. Low maintenance, no after sales service tension etc

Compared to the geman cars, how does this stand up?

Sir.. In seltoes brochure its shown the use of high strength stell... same as new creta... This same used in verna got 5 star rating.. So new seltoes and creata we can expect 5 str?

Diesel Manual ❤

Thanks, as always, for an insightful segment! While hard to digest at first, i am now warming upto a cvt/normally aspirated set up. In a more enlightened world we would all still be buying the diesels. If, for instance, there was a transparent roadmap in terms of reasonably long usable window and fuel availability. The strategic ambiguity maintained by the government on the future of Diesel rivals that of America on Taiwan and has been an unqualified buzzkill! Today, when the daily commute sees average speeds of 15-20 km/hr, on a good day, a turbo petrol is exactly the wrong sort of engine the Diesel the right one!

Phew 300k🎉

A quick doubt. Lets say i down shift from 5th to seocnd in the IMT, Will the gearbox rev match easily and give me the downshift? How is that experience?

Need a Taigun vs Creta vs Seltos comparo!

How you guys only have 300k subscribers 😢

Sir need vedio on creta

When's "2024 kia sonet should you buy or not?" Coming?

This vs the Elevate, purely based on driving experience? I'll be honest here - right before this video, I used to think the Elevate was the best SUV on the market. The Seltos X-Line changed that today and now the argument will be about driving experience alone.

Plz plz one video make Honda NX500

Please give some giveaway episodes for the fans. It will be fun and appreciated guys!

Guys pls make a View video on VE VIRTUS!!!

Hey, nice video! But you forgot to mention something really important: safety. The old Seltos did poorly in crash tests, and I don't see anything here to suggest that's changed. They've added a bunch of features, but they've missed the most important thing. As a reviewer, you have a responsibility to point this out, and it's a shame that you didn't. U went to such length to explain tiny details...u didn't mention anything this critical safety aspect... almost feels like u guys were paid not to mention this...

I live in Himachal can you suggest best car under 25 lakh I can stretch but I want your vision of choosing a car and why

Seltos looks👌🏼

Where is the join button bruh!

A polite observation: The video seems a bit too dramatic and exaggerated at times. It's not that this car is bad-in fact, it feels special with all its features and looks. However, when considering it as a practical car for driving and traveling, the perspective changes slightly. There are better options for driving and traveling within the same budget or even for less.

Hey I want to design cars. What should I study? Where? How?

Why not Creta DCT or the N-Line DCT version

His voice belongs to a late night radio show. I cannot take him seriously.

Kia and safety rating???

Torque and fuel efficiency, usable in day to day driving, that's diesel for you.

2x feels slower ...

Noicceeee

❣❣

Petrol vehicle are great but e20 and e10 are not bad petrol just trash

ANSWER IS SIMPLE: FLAT NO! 9:26 MINUTES NOT NEEDED FOR AN ANSWER ON THIS TOPIC. PEACE.

I wish they offer a diesel in the X-line.

Bring back sedans and hot hatches! Im so sick of seeing these bricks for pretend rich people.

I wonder why nobody is talking about KIA's shitty suspension!
