Kia Seltos

























Rs. 11.13 - 20.51 Lakh  Ex-Showroom price, Mumbai


petrol 1482cc turbo 

Positives:

  • This silent engine does not sound rough, even when driving at 120kmph.
  • It has got good pulling power, which helps with overtaking both in cities and on highways.
  • Despite being powerful, the ARAI-claimed mileage is an impressive 17.9kmpl.
  • The SUV is stable even at speeds of up to 120kmph and doesn't feel like a huge car to drive.
  • The iMT version makes driving a manual gearbox very convenient.
  • Even in the iMT version, overtaking doesn't feel unnerving as long as the engine is over 1,500rpm.
  • The gear lever in the iMT has a smooth shifting action, requiring very little effort.
  • The Seltos gets hill-start assist as standard. This feature prevents the car from rolling backward on an up-hill slope.

  • Negatives:

    • There's a lack of good response from this engine at low speeds.
    • The first gear in the iMT version sometimes feels jerky and rough at around 25kmph.
    • The ride quality feels slightly hard on imperfect roads.

Tata Curvv Rs. 10.00 - 19.52 Lakh  Ex-Showroom price, Mumbai Positives:  It is a 116bhp/260Nm 1.5-litre diesel Kryojet engine with a six-speed manual or seven-speed DCA gearbox with paddle shifters. There are drive modes like Eco, City, and Sports. This diesel engine surprisingly starts up in Sports mode and there’s adequate low-end torque which eases city driving necessities. The gears are held on for longer before shifting, resulting in improved engine response. Performance from this engine is effortless as you hit triple-digit speeds quicker than you realise. The Level-2 ADAS functions work well and inspire confidence especially when you miss spotting a tricky situation. The Curvv leans markedly lesser than the Curvv EV when driven fast on curvy roads. Maneuvering this SUV is simple due to the light and reasonably quick steering wheel. Despite the large 18-inch wheels, its ride quality is rather absorbent, even over broken roads. Negatives:  The gears don't shift as sm...
