Hi, I am confused between the Seltos (ventilated seats) and the Elevate (missing ventilation and some minor features like a front parking sensor) petrol automatic for Chennai city as a first-time car buyer. Please help me decide between the two.

Over and above advantages mentioned above, Elevate comes with 7 years extended warranty with unlimited kms and extendable upto 10 years after 7 years warranty period is elapsed

I would anyday choose the Elevate over Seltos. Airy cabin, muscular look, reliable engine, good ground clearance, sufficient boot space, well regressed NA engine, etc.

Elevate is better choice. Yes ventilated seats are missing. You can go for seltos if only ventilated seats are priority otherwise full Paisa vasool car hai elevate

Go for Honda Elevate it's superb

Try the Jeep compass .it is built tough and has good features

Lol I feel so pity of these so called honda lovers. Kia’s IVT uses a chain-type belt, whereas traditional CVTs (like those in many Honda models) use a push belt design. The chain setup reduces slippage and energy loss during power transmission, which improves responsiveness and efficiency. Make your choice now. Seltos is and always will be advanced product. Now with the Global K3 platform it lags behind none.

Auto cars opinion is highly biased. Japanese technology and a highly successful Ivtech engine is in a different pedestal to be compared . Limitations is the available of variants . Ensure you buy from a reliable and customer friendly agent.i had to escalate to honda to get things done which was pre paid . No brainer . A honda elevate hands down. Recently purchased and final two short listed was Elevate /Hyryder . Kia seltos was also on the run as their Gizmos was appealing though

Go with the Honda Elevate hands down ... Nothing like , Honda's reliability and peace of mind ... The cabin is super spacious and it has all the good features which you need in your daily usage including ADAS ... The engine is punchy enough for day to day city drive as well as highways ... Kia on the other hand has features but the ivt engine is no match for Honda's CVT ... Also , the turbo power train GTX is much more expensive

Hi. Just go for elevate dude. The features might distract you. But at the end of the day drivability, handling, reliability, maintenance matters. All these stuffs are not visible unlike those flashy features. Always remember you are buying a car not a smart phone.

Without doubt, the Honda Elevate. Nothing matches the Japanese in terms of reliability and longevity, especially Toyota and Honda. Yes they are a little low on the gizmos which are infact non-essential. But in the "main car" department, they are leagues ahead.

I have been owning a honda city since 2020. Initially you might feel like paying a premium for honda cars but over the long run the cost ot ownership, maintenance and support from the company over the complete lifecycle of your Vehicle is worth every penny. I don't know which car is better but in terms of ownership Honda is the most reliable even though I own hyundai as well.

I suggest go with automatic base model of Elevate Do we really need ventilated seats? Or Sunroofs? If you compare the automatic base trims of seltos 15.8 (approx on road Mumbai) and elevate 15.5 ( approx on road Mumbai) you can negotiate hard and further reduce the cost Safety aspect elevate wins The front hood is bigger than kia While driving more of the hood is visible, you feel up are driving a higher segment SUV Over all look wise from the exterior too, Elevate looks bigger Honda engine and reliability over kia Elevate is a no nonsense car Also they are throwing in a 360 camera from free I was in a similar boat Hence the research☺️

Terrible experience with top end seltos diesel bought 4 years ago. KIA motors is least bothered and the service centre (Shivaay Kia, Kurla, Mumbai) is more pathetic in terms of accepting and resolving multiple pending issues since the car purchase... Go for any other brand than KIA... Honest suggestion... We are seriously contemplating approaching Honorable Consumer court...

Go with Elevate as first time car buyer there will be some extra maintenance Elevate will be cost effective and long time benefits. Elevate will give you same fun while driving even after couple of years but seltos the drive and performance will drop yoy
