Kia Seltos Hte (o) G1.5 Smartstream T Gdi At (imt) Pros and Cons
What we like
The massive, lag-free touchscreen makes navigating through heavy city traffic and controlling media totally effortless.
The automatic transmission entirely removes left-leg fatigue, making painful bumper-to-bumper commutes highly tolerable.
The violently powerful AC unit cools the massive cabin down in minutes, even parked under the direct sun.
The sheer volume of out-of-the-box gadgets offered in the HTE (O) G1.5 Smartstream T-GDI AT (iMT) puts almost all direct competitors to shame.
Superior cabin insulation effectively blocks out annoying traffic noise, creating a highly refined passenger experience.
The cabin features premium, soft-touch materials that genuinely rival much more expensive European cars.
What to consider
Standard steel wheels make the otherwise aggressive SELTOS look incredibly cheap and utilitarian at this tier.
You completely sacrifice the open-air aesthetic of a glass roof by settling for this specific trim.
Relying entirely on passive safety means you miss out on the brilliant collision-avoidance tech found in higher trims.
Insanely long waiting periods for top-spec SELTOS variants often push frustrated buyers toward competitors.
The excessive use of glossy piano black interior trims acts as a massive magnet for dust, fingerprints, and nasty micro-scratches.
The notoriously stiff suspension tuning means rear passengers will noticeably bounce around on poorly maintained rural roads.
