I’ve been driving a manual Hyundai Creta Petrol for the last six years and am now looking to upgrade to an automatic with better specifications and superior comfort. My driving split is roughly 75% city and 25% highway. I’m currently torn between the New Kia Seltos IVT (NA Petrol) and the Turbo Petrol DCT. As this will be my first automatic car, I’d appreciate insights on which gearbox better suits my heavy city usage versus occasional highway runs. Kindly suggest.
Since this will be your first automatic, the Kia Seltos IVT is the easier and more intuitive option to live with. In heavy city traffic, it is extremely smooth at low speeds, with no jerks or shift shocks, which makes daily driving far less tiring. The creep function is also very natural, so bumper-to-bumper traffic and parking become effortless.
The turbo petrol DCT, while a lot more powerful and engaging to drive, is better suited for highway use and enthusiastic driving. In city conditions, especially in stop-and-go traffic, it can feel a bit jerky compared to the IVT.
On the highway, the IVT paired with the naturally aspirated engine is still perfectly adequate for cruising at 90-100 kph, and for your usage, you are unlikely to fully benefit from the extra performance of the turbo.

I am a first-time car buyer, and am confused between Victoris ZXI+(O) AT and new Kia Seltos HTX(A) IVT. My driving is mostly in the city with occasional long trips for vacation. Kindly advise.
Between the two, we would suggest going for the Kia Seltos HTX(A) IVT.
For a first-time buyer with mostly city driving, the Kia Seltos makes things easier thanks to its smooth IVT automatic gearbox and light controls, which reduce stress in traffic. It is also more spacious and comfortable, and the larger boot makes it more practical for your occasional long trips.
The Seltos also feels more premium inside and better equipped, which adds to the overall ownership experience.
The Maruti Suzuki Victoris is still a good option, especially if your priority is fuel efficiency and wider service reach, but in terms of overall comfort, premiumness and ease of driving, the Seltos has the edge.

I would like to buy the 2026 Kia Seltos facelift. After comparing all variants, I would like to purchase the HTK, but there’s confusion. I am looking for a long-term car. Should I buy a manual or automatic in the HTK variant? I am from Hyderabad. Many suggest that an automatic gives more comfort in the city, but I am also worried about low mileage, high maintenance costs, and performance decrease over the years. I want genuine feedback from real owners who have driven automatic cars over the years, and would like to know their feedback. Please assist me in choosing the right option. Thanks.
With the kind of traffic we see in cities like Hyderabad, an automatic will be far more convenient and stress-free to drive on a daily basis. Since you are looking at the Kia Seltos HTK variant, this would be the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol with the IVT/CVT gearbox, which is known to be smooth and easy to use.
On the topic of mileage, yes, the automatic will have a slight drop of around 1 to 1.5 kmpl in real-world conditions compared to the manual. However, if your running is not very high, this difference won’t impact your overall running cost significantly.
In terms of reliability and long-term ownership, modern CVT/IVT gearboxes have improved a lot over the years. They are quite reliable and do not typically require high maintenance if serviced as per schedule. So concerns about performance dropping over time or major issues are not really something to worry about.

Hi, I am in the market for buying a compact SUV. I am a proud Kia Carens 1.5 TGDi owner as well. I have shortlisted the Kia Seltos NA 1.5 IVT (HTK or HTK(O)) to drive in Bengaluru (a lot of traffic). I personally like the new Duster as well. I have test-driven the Seltos and am yet to see the Duster in action. Being a Kia owner, I really like the new Seltos, but I have postponed the buying decision because of the Duster. I would happily choose the Techno+ or Iconic variant. My only concern is that the Duster has a DCT (wet clutch), but I am not sure about its reliability in the long run. Seven months of standard warranty gives some peace of mind, but I still have concerns about overheating issues in DCTs (like Kia’s). Kindly share your suggestions on choosing a reliable car. Thanks!
For your usage in Bengaluru traffic and focus on long-term reliability, we would suggest going ahead with the Kia Seltos 1.5 NA IVT (HTK/HTK(O)) rather than waiting for the new Duster. The Seltos’ naturally aspirated petrol engine paired with the IVT/CVT gearbox is one of the smoothest combinations in this segment.
In heavy stop-and-go traffic, it feels very easy and predictable to drive, with none of the hesitation or heat-related concerns that are sometimes associated with dual-clutch transmissions. Since you already own a Kia Carens, you are also familiar with Kia’s after-sales experience, which adds a layer of confidence for long-term ownership.
That said, the new Renault Duster is a very interesting option and worth considering. On paper, it looks like a strong package with a more powerful turbo-petrol engine, expected to offer strong performance, a solid ride quality and a more rugged overall character. We would suggest test-driving the Duster before making a final decision.

I am presently driving a Kia Sonet diesel AT. My monthly driving is 1,200 km, 90% of which is in the city. I am looking to upgrade, with mostly two members travelling. Should I consider a petrol or diesel automatic car? My budget is ₹20-22 lakh.
Considering your monthly running of around 1,200 km with 90% city usage, it makes more sense to move to a petrol automatic.
In heavy city driving, petrol cars are smoother, quieter and easier to live with, and you also avoid potential issues related to diesel emission systems that typically require longer, steadier drives. Since most of your usage is in stop-and-go traffic, a petrol will simply feel more refined and stress-free on a daily basis.
For your budget of Rs 20-22 lakh, we would suggest looking at the Kia Seltos 1.5 NA petrol with IVT/CVT. The engine is very refined, and the CVT gearbox is silky smooth, which makes it ideal for city driving. It will also feel like a proper upgrade from your Kia Sonet in terms of space, comfort and overall driving experience.
If you want something similar, you can also consider the Hyundai Creta 1.5 NA petrol IVT, which shares the same engine and gearbox and offers a similar smooth and easy driving experience.

I want to choose between Sierra and Seltos. My preferences are: reliability, low maintenance, good road presence, good sound system, good mileage, and automatic. My average running is 16,000km annually, with 80% highway and 20% city use.
Pick the diesel Kia Seltos. With your 16,000 km/year and 80% highway use, it best matches your requirements of good mileage, reliability and low upkeep, and the Bose audio system will also meet your need for a good sound system.
The Tata Sierra, too, would do you well, as it also comes equipped with a superb JBL audio system, and the diesel engine is quite efficient. However, with the Sierra being new, its long-term reliability is yet to be known, and since this is your first priority, we have recommended the Kia Seltos.

Asked by: kumaron Mar 16, 2026
Hi, I’m totally confused between the Tata Sierra Pure 1.5 NA and Seltos HTE 1.5 NA variants. My heart says go with the Sierra, but my mind says Seltos. I am also hearing a lot about the Sierra 1.5 NA engine, which is the least powerful in the segment or underpowered, with no pickup, so I am quite worried about it. I want to go with the Sierra because of its looks, bigger size, and good rear-seat space. I am hesitant about the Seltos because I earlier owned a Sonet 1.2 NA manual (now sold), and I have mixed feelings about Kia, especially regarding design. So I would prefer not to go with Kia again. I need your help in choosing the better car between these two. My usage will mostly be highway driving with family, and less than 10,000 km per year. Is the Sierra 1.5 NA really that underpowered? Please guide me.
We can totally understand why your heart is saying, Tata Sierra. It looks fantastic, has loads of road presence and, as you’ve rightly picked up, the rear seat is one of its biggest strengths with great space and comfort for the family. For your mostly highway usage with under 10,000km a year, that relaxed, big‑car feel and rear seat comfort are genuine positives.
However, it’s also true that the Sierra 1.5 NA is objectively a very slow car, and that’s not social media gossip but borne out in our tests. The 1.5 NA petrol‑manual takes about 17.34sec for 0-100kph, and an even more telling 18.38sec for 20-80kph in third gear, which is where you really feel it for overtakes. The automatic is slower still to 100kph. By contrast, a Seltos 1.5 NA does 0-100kph in roughly the 12-13sec band, depending on gearbox, which is a full class quicker and feels it on the road. So yes, the Sierra NA is genuinely underpowered for the segment; it is one of the slowest midsize SUVs on sale.
That said, “underpowered” doesn’t mean undriveable, especially at the kind of steady‑state highway cruising you’re talking about. The Sierra NA’s torque comes in reasonably low, so it will sit at 90-100kph in a relaxed way and feel perfectly fine as a family cruiser. Where you will pay the price is every time you need a quick overtake or have to accelerate decisively uphill or with a full load. You will need more planning, more downshifts and a lot more patience than in the Kia Seltos. It’s not dangerous if you drive to its limits, but it is hard work, and you will always be aware that the engine is the weak link.
In short, don’t let the Sierra’s 1.5 NA engine be a deal breaker, but instead learn to live with its lack of power, especially if your heart says Sierra.

Which is better: Creta diesel or Kia Seltos?
The Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos are closely related products. While they are completely different in look and interior, they do share platforms, engines and many other key components.
However, the new Kia Seltos, launched in January 2026, is based on a new-gen platform, while the current Hyundai Creta, which has been on sale since 2020, continues on an older-gen platform. The new-gen platform delivers better refinement, more tech and also comes with the promise of enhanced crash protection, giving Seltos clear advantages over the Creta.
Further, the new Seltos is also longer, making it roomier and more comfortable than the Creta. Another area where the new Seltos is better than the Creta is in ride comfort.
It's worth noting that the Hyundai Creta is lighter than the new Seltos, and offers slightly better performance from the same 1.5-litre diesel engine. The all-new Creta that will be launched in 2027 will move to the new-gen platform and will be a closer match for the Seltos.

Please advise which car I should buy. I am confused between the Hyundai Creta EX(O) IVT, Kia Seltos HTE(O) IVT, and Honda Elevate V CVT, all 2026 models. My usage will be 50% city and 50% highway. I plan to sell the car in 3 to 4 years, so good resale value is important. Which of these cars would be the better value for money and easier to resell later? Please suggest.
Since your usage is split evenly between city and highway and you plan to sell the car in about 3–4 years, choosing the model that feels the most modern and premium today would make more sense.
Among the three, we would suggest going for the Kia Seltos IVT. It is the newer car compared to the Hyundai Creta, and it is also slightly larger and more spacious, which helps it feel more premium overall. Both the Seltos and Creta share the same powertrain, so either car will offer a similar driving experience. The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is one of the most refined units in this segment and the IVT/CVT transmission is silky smooth, making it well suited for both city and highway driving.
Also, considering that the Creta is expected to be replaced early next year, it is unlikely to have a higher resale value compared to the Seltos in the coming years.
The Honda Elevate is also a safe and reliable option. However, compared to the Creta and the Seltos, it does not feel as premium and the engine is a bit noisier than the Hyundai/Kia unit. It is also an older product compared to the Seltos.

I' am currently owning Ignis 2017 model. I drove 60k. 65% in city and 35% on Highway. Looking for a Automatic car with Good interiors, safety features, good balance between touch & buttons, least service issues and should be steady atleast for the next 10 years. Selected Tata Harrier and New Seltos. I have already extended my budget till 22lacs (on road price. Please advise.
The Kia Seltos will feel like a clear upgrade over your Ignis and fits your requirements well. It was recently updated and feels modern, well equipped and premium inside. Considering your relatively limited running, we would suggest going for the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with the IVT/CVT automatic transmission. This combination is very refined and the gearbox is silky smooth, which makes the car extremely easy to drive in city traffic.
Within your ₹22 lakh on-road budget, you can go for the HTX(A) variant, which comes very well equipped and even offers Level 2 ADAS, making it a strong value proposition.
