Trending Questions on Kia Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
If I have to choose between the Honda Elevate AT, Skoda Kushaq 1.5, and Kia Seltos IVT for a family of four, with most of the driving being within city limits (around 40 km daily), which one would be the best option in terms of long-term benefits and lower maintenance costs?
Go for the Honda Elevate CVT, which seems like the best fit among these three for your needs. It's not quite as spacious as the Kia Seltos, but for a family of four, there's more than enough space. And it's not as exhilarating as the Skoda Kushaq 1.5 TSI to drive, but it's still quite enjoyable and far more fuel efficient for your usage of roughly 40km per day in the city.
While all three cars have decent warranties, with the ability to extend them for a fee, but Honda offers a unique 'Anytime Warranty' which lets you extend in increments of 1-year/20,000km for up to 10 years. Plus, Honda is known for its reliability and rock-solid after-sales experience, which should give you the best overall long-term experience.
The downside is that the Elevate is a bit plain and not quite as well equipped as the others, but then it is also considerably more affordable. Your next best bet is the Kia Seltos, but be prepared to shell out a bit more money for spec.
My budget is around โน13 lakh on-road. Can you please suggest a car with good mileage and a boot space of around 350 litres or more?
Hi, I am looking to buy a family car with an automatic transmission. My usage will be around 90% on highways and 10% on rough or off-road conditions, and it should be comfortable for adult passengers. I am considering the Skoda Kylaq AT with a budget of โน15 lakh and expect good mileage. Please suggest suitable options.
Go for the Skoda Kylaq Prestige AT; at your Rs 15 lakh budget, it balances excellent highway stability, 189mm of ground clearance for mild off-road use, and supportive seats for adults.
With 90 percent highway driving, the Kylaq feels secure and planted, while its five-star Bharat NCAP rating adds peace of mind. The seats are comfortable and supportive for longer journeys, though you might find rear legroom a bit tight for taller folks. In our real-world testing, the 1.0 TSI AT managed 8.7kpl in the city and 13.36kpl on the highway.
The one trade-off is outright boot space; at 360 litres, it is a bit smaller than rivals, so carrying five adults with large bags will be tight.
If you regularly carry five adults along with large luggage, consider the Kia Seltos IVT instead; its 433-litre boot and slightly wider rear seat make packing and seating easier.
On your test drive, seat two adults in the rear and do a 60-80kph run over patchy roads to assess ride comfort, cabin noise and stability.
I am planning to buy a car with a budget of around โน15 lakh. I am a 30-year-old buyer and am confused between the Hyundai Verna SX+ (which is my favourite) and the new Kia Seltos HTE(O) automatic. I am concerned about the mileage of the Verna, while the Seltos offers fewer features like no sunroof or alloy wheels, and I am also unsure about its service experience. My usage will be mostly city driving in the Delhi NCR region, primarily on weekends.
The Hyundai Verna and Kia Seltos share a smooth, refined 1.5-litre petrol engine and an IVT (automatic). So in terms of performance, smoothness and maintenance, they're likely to be very similar.
For its sheer driving pleasure, pick the Verna (sedan) if you're usually self-driven. Being lower and having a lower centre of gravity, this one will feel better to drive than an SUV. Its boot is much larger, too, which you will appreciate during your weekend trips or airport runs.
However, if you are going to be driving with five adults regularly, only then pick the Seltos, which has a more spacious cabin, especially at the rear.
Hello, I am planning to upgrade from my i10 Sportz, a 13-year-old car, to a compact car for my wife. I do not want to go with an Indian brand, as I have had a poor experience with Tata on my Harrier. I also did not like the Nios and i20, as they do not feel like an upgrade. So I am looking at sub-compact SUVs. I need your advice between the top-end Sonet automatic and the Hyundai Venue HX10.
I have read the recent comments about the Duster on your website, and I am impressed by the overall rating of the Duster. I am planning to purchase the 1L turbo manual version of Duster and seeking advice on the power delivery and torque. Is it sufficient for city drives and, very occasionally, driving on highways?
Looking for a 7-seater with a good third-row space. Mostly, the third row will be folded and used for my Labrador and occasionally luggage. Must-haves: good space across all three rows, front and rear parking sensors, and a 360-degree camera. At least lower double-digit fuel efficiency. It should not feel underpowered with a full load. Usage: mostly highway drives, occasionally in the range of 300 to 500 km, and moderate city usage of up to 400 km per month. My current car has 35k on the odometer in 2.5 years, most of which are highway runs. Cars considered: Clavis HTK+ (feature-loaded and comfortable. Petrol AT turbo is thirsty, with DCT concerns in bumper-to-bumper traffic and some safety concerns), Safari Petrol AT (customer complaints on quality and concerns about the new engine), XUV 7XO (powerful and good to drive, but impractical third row and very poor fuel efficiency). Now I am thinking about trying the HyCross non-hybrid. Let me know your thoughts.
I want to buy honda elevate. Please suggest to me if it is good in terms of safety and mileage. I am a first-time car buyer.
The Honda Elevate is a sensible, no-nonsense pick. The visibility is good due to its high seating, the seats are comfy, and the ride quality is impressive. Its petrol engine is strong and responsive, and drivability is very good too. Fuel efficiency, however, isn't its strength, with the manual and automatic (CVT) both averaging around 11kpl. If you are a new user, though, we'd recommend opting for the CVT, simply because it is smooth and makes the driving experience much more convenient.
The Elevate is equipped with standard kit such as ESP, 6 airbags, etc., and most variants also get camera-based ADAS, which further adds a layer of safety.
Alternatively, you could consider the new Kia Seltos, which is newer, better equipped and more spacious.
I am strongly considering the Kia Seltos 1.5T iMT HTE(O). It fits my budget, offers good performance, and the features are reasonable. I am choosing iMT as my usage is 70% city driving in Bangalore and 30% highway.
I am confused about choosing between the Kia Sonet and Hyundai Venue for city driving. My monthly usage is around 800 to 900 km. Which SUV and model should I choose? I want an automatic variant. I currently own a 2019 Honda City automatic, which I plan to sell. For highway driving, I have a 2023 Skoda Octavia.
