    Kia Seltos is car I currently own. While it's easy to get drawn in by its bold and modern design but what truly impresses me is the tech package and overall balance it offers at its price point. Kia Seltos stands out for integrating segment-leading features that are both practical and future ready. The panoramic infotainment display, a crisp and responsive touchscreen paired with a digital instrument cluster, adds a premium feel to the cabin. Features like ventilated seats, 360-degree camera, wireless phone charging, head-up display, and connected car technology (UVO) show how Kia has gone beyond the usual checklist to deliver a smarter driving experience. What also attracts me is the build quality and attention to interior detail, which are genuinely impressive in this segment. It doesn't feel like a compromise. The leatherette upholstery, ambient lighting, and thoughtful layout make it a pleasant place to be especially on long drives.On the road, the Seltos offers multiple engine and transmission combinations, catering to different types of drivers.

    I have recently purchased this vehicle in the month of Nov'24. The vehicle is spacious, has amazing suspension which is much required for Indian roads, sound system is amazing and enjoyable in long drives, seating is very much comfortable, features available in the car are value for money. Car is suitable for a mid size family. Highly recommend.
