We recently booked the Seltos HTE (O) NA MT. The price difference between the manual and IVT is close to a lakh in Bengaluru due to high road tax. Do you think it’s worth considering an upgrade to the IVT? We are price-conscious and already over our initial budget of ₹12 lakh. We did not like the back seat space or refinement levels on sub-compact SUVs like the 3XO. The four-cylinder Seltos feels so refined compared to three-cylinder turbos. But at the same time, the 3rd and 4th gears on the Seltos also feel slightly underpowered in our test drives, which might be a problem during overtakes. However, since 80-90% of our usage will be within Bengaluru city, we thought it might not bother us. Are we making the correct decision here? Is there a better way to drive the Seltos during such overtakes?
The Kia Seltos HTE (O) NA MT is a good choice for your requirements. The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine is smooth and refined, and while it isn’t the most powerful, it is adequate for city use. That said, since you mentioned that around 80% to 90% of your driving will be in Bengaluru, the IVT would be a worthwhile upgrade.
While the clutch on the manual is light enough, the convenience of the IVT in city traffic is undeniable. Another advantage is that the IVT masks the performance deficit of the 1.5 NA well, making it feel more responsive in urban driving. The typical CVT ‘rubber band’ effect is present when you push it for an overtake, but it is less pronounced than in many other CVTs.
If your budget permits, the Seltos IVT is the better choice. As for the manual, there isn’t much you can do about the underpowered feeling in third and fourth gears apart from keeping the engine within the powerband as much as possible.

I want to buy a new car. My budget is ₹12-17 lakh. Usage will be 60% city and 40% highway, with a monthly running of 1,500-2,500 km. I live in Chandigarh, Panchkula. I prefer a 4-cylinder and want good cabin insulation, safety, refinement, and reliability. Only petrol. I prefer an SUV, but am comfortable with a sedan as well. Please recommend a suitable car.
The Kia Seltos in its HTK trim would be a good option for you. It gets a smooth 4-cylinder petrol engine with excellent refinement and the CVT gearbox makes it effortless for city use and convenient enough on the highway.
The cabin insulation is very good, it gets high levels of active and passive safety measures and being a Kia car, there is good reliability too. Add to that the well-equipped cabin and a roomy rear seat, and the Seltos comes off as a strong choice. The bold design might be a concern, but you will get used to it, and it does stand out.

I'm considering upgrading from my Honda Amaze Diesel to a new Kia Seltos IVT HTX (A). My primary concern is whether the Seltos, with its IVT transmission, can handle a full load as well as my current Amaze, which has a turbo diesel engine. My monthly driving is around 500 km, and I take one or two long trips of around 1200 km annually. Apart from performance with full load, mileage is also a concern. Is this a good upgrade, or are there better alternatives available?
The Kia Seltos IVT is a good upgrade over your Honda Amaze. The Seltos is more spacious, comfortable, and feature-rich than the Amaze, and the IVT gearbox is very smooth and efficient.
The Seltos' 1.5-litre petrol engine is also quite refined, and while it isn't as punchy as the Amaze's diesel engine, it is more than adequate for city and highway use even with a full load. The IVT gearbox is also very smooth and efficient, and you won't complain much when it comes to performance.
Where the Seltos will not be as good as your old Amaze is the efficiency. The petrol-IVT combination isn't the best in the Seltos range, but you can still expect around 12kpl in the city and 15kpl on the highway. If you have the budget and don't mind a diesel, you can get the Seltos in its diesel guise, which will offer at least a couple of kpl more.

After consulting Autocar, I test drove the Seltos IVT NA engine and found it to be excellent, with smooth gear shifting and a truly excellent car. But I'd like to know: are paddle shifters useful if you ever feel a lack of power when driving with a full load? Are paddle shifters useful when climbing hills, and are they also useful when overtaking? Also, are automatic cars significantly more expensive to maintain?
Paddle shifters are generally useful in automatics when you want manual control, for example, to downshift before an overtake, hold a lower gear while climbing, or use engine braking on a downhill section.
However, in the Seltos IVT (which is a CVT), you won’t feel the need to use them very often. That’s because a CVT doesn’t have fixed gears in the traditional sense. It uses a belt-and-pulley system that continuously varies the ratio, so it is essentially “stepless.” The gearbox automatically keeps the engine in its optimal power band, especially during overtaking or hill climbs. The “gears” you access via paddle shifters are actually pre-set ratios programmed into the software; they are artificial steps created to give a more conventional feel, not real physical gears.
So if you feel a lack of power with a full load, pulling a paddle may drop the revs into a higher power zone, but the CVT would typically do that on its own if you press the accelerator harder. In everyday driving, the system is smart enough to respond without manual input.
As for maintenance, CVTs are not dramatically more expensive than manuals. They require periodic fluid changes, but modern CVTs are generally reliable if maintained properly. The belt and pulley system is designed for long service life under normal use. Maintenance cost should not be a deciding factor; driving comfort and suitability to your usage matter more.

I am confused between the Seltos HTK (O) IVT petrol and the Urban Cruiser Hyryder Hybrid. My driving is mostly on city roads, and I want to keep the SUV for at least the next 10 years. Please advise.
It purely depends on how much you drive per month and how important fuel efficiency is to you. As an example, the Kia Seltos IVT is likely to deliver around 10.3kpl in the city, whereas the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder hybrid is capable of delivering double that number.
With the Kia Seltos HTK(O) IVT, you get much more features, a more spacious and modern cabin, a bigger boot, and a more comfortable drive experience.
Even the base S hybrid variant of the Hyryder commands a substantial premium over the Seltos variant mentioned above, and does not offer several feel-good features available in the Kia. But if your running is high, the hybrid could make sense due to significantly lower fuel costs.
Overall, both cars will serve you well for a long tenure. You need to decide whether you want features and a thoroughly modern midsize SUV, or an extremely fuel-efficient one by sacrificing some features.

Hi, I have a VW Virtus bought in early 2023, and now I am looking for a replacement. My preference is for an SUV. I'll primarily use it for city driving, and my monthly usage would be around 200 km. The car must have a good safety rating, comfort and mileage.
Since you are coming from a Volkswagen Virtus, you will naturally appreciate the Volkswagen Taigun or Skoda Kushaq, as both SUVs carry the same DNA of solid build quality and excellent driving dynamics. Between the two, the Kushaq, which has just been updated with fresher looks, more features and a stronger aircon, would be the better option.
You can opt for the 1.0 TSI variant with a six-speed automatic transmission, which is well-suited for city driving. It’s not the most fuel-efficient SUV in the segment, but considering your monthly running of around 200km, that shouldn’t matter too much.
However, do note that the back seat of the Kushaq (and Taigun) isn’t the most spacious. If you are looking for better rear seat comfort and slightly better efficiency, the Kia Seltos 1.5 petrol with the CVT automatic is another good option to consider.

Asked by: Kavish Dixiton Feb 27, 2026
I am planning to buy the new Kia Seltos. Initially, I had booked the HTX (A) IVT variant even before taking a test drive. However, after driving the IVT, I did not feel completely satisfied with the driving experience. Based on our usage pattern, the car will mostly be used on highways (around 60%) and the rest in the city (40%). Our overall running will be quite low, and the car will not be used for daily commuting. It will primarily be used for leisure drives and occasional road trips. Because of this, the DCT variant feels like a much more exciting option to me at the moment. My only concern is future practicality. If at some point I need to start using the Seltos DCT as a daily driver in Mumbai traffic, it would be the only car for my family of three (my parents and me). So my question is: If I follow all the recommended precautions for driving a DCT in bumper-to-bumper traffic, would the Seltos DCT still be a sensible and reliable choice for long-term ownership in Mumbai? I would really appreciate insights from owners and people with experience driving DCTs in heavy traffic.
The Kia Seltos Turbo-DCT is the right pick for you. The engine's added 45hp of power counts for a lot, especially on highway drives. It's easily more fun to drive than the Seltos IVT.
The Seltos IVT does make for a better city car thanks to its seamless gearbox, but it also feels a bit one-sided in that way. The Turbo-DCT is more rounded in that sense, offering automatic convenience in the city and strong performance out on the highway. Sure, the DCT won't be quite as smooth in bumper-to-bumper traffic as an IVT, but the experience is not a dealbreaker by any means.

I am currently driving a Honda Jazz Automatic CVT. My monthly commute is between 800 and 1,000 km, entirely in city driving in Mumbai. I am looking for a good automatic car with decent features, easy drivability, and decent mileage. My budget is a maximum of ₹20 lakh, but I need a car that lasts at least 8-10 years.
The Kia Seltos IVT is the right pick for you. It has a smooth engine, and its CVT gearbox operates seamlessly, making it superbly suited to congested Mumbai city driving. Light steering and a comfortable ride are other facets that make the Seltos a great choice for you. Fuel economy is reasonable, too.
You could get a high-spec Seltos IVT HTX in your budget with plenty of features such as a panoramic sunroof, 12.3-inhc touchscreen, 360-degree camera, dual-zone climate control and more.

I am confused between the Maruti Victoris and the new Kia Seltos. Which one should I buy? I am looking for a petrol automatic option under a budget of ₹16-18 lakh. Both cars have some limitations, like rear space is bad in the Victoris, while the Seltos does not offer as good mileage as the Victoris. There are a few more differences as well. Need advice on which one serves better overall.
Between the Maruti Suzuki Victoris and the Kia Seltos, the Seltos is the more rounded and future-proof choice in your budget.
The Kia Seltos is a larger, more substantial SUV, and that shows in day-to-day use. It feels more planted on the road, the cabin is wider, and overall space, especially in the rear seat, is noticeably better. If this is going to be a family car, that extra room and comfort will matter more over time than you initially think.
On the engine front too, the Seltos’ 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol is stronger and more relaxed. Performance is smoother, and it doesn’t feel strained, especially with passengers on board or at highway speeds. The automatic gearbox pairing is also well sorted for city use. It simply feels like a more mature driving experience.
Yes, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris does return slightly better mileage, and that’s one of Maruti’s traditional strengths. But the difference isn’t so dramatic that it should be the deciding factor, especially if your annual running isn’t extremely high. Over a few years, the fuel savings won’t outweigh the advantages you gain in space, comfort, and overall feel with the Seltos.
Where the Seltos also scores is in perceived quality and features. The cabin design, materials and equipment levels give it a more premium vibe in this segment. If you’re spending Rs16-18 lakh, it should feel special, and the Seltos does that better.
So overall, unless outright fuel efficiency is your top priority, the Seltos serves better as an all-rounder. This Kia car offers more space, better road presence, a stronger engine, and a more upmarket experience.

I want to buy an automatic SUV and have shortlisted a few names: the new Kia Seltos IVT, Honda Elevate CVT, and Grand Vitara Smart Hybrid AT. The confusion is that everyone says that the Honda Elevate CVT engine is good, but is it the right choice to buy the Elevate in today's time? Should I buy the Kia Seltos IVT? Is the Grand Vitara also competitive? Which of these three SUVs is best if I want decent performance, decent mileage, suitability for both traffic and highways, and occasional hill drives? Which automatic NA engine is best when travelling with five people and luggage? Please guide me.
The Kia Seltos IVT is the best pick for your needs. It's got the smoothest engine-gearbox combo, performance is decent both in town and on highways, and fuel economy is also reasonable. What also makes the Seltos easy to recommend is the fact that it's the roomiest of the three SUVs on your shortlist, making it best for 5 people and luggage.
The Honda Elevate is a practical choice, but is essentially let down by average refinement and an inferior CVT gearbox (versus the Kia's CVT). The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Smart Hybrid is an alternative though cabin space is down on rivals, and performance is dull, especially on highway drives.
