6. Driving & Comfort
Driving & Comfort Assessment
City Driving
Manual gearbox requires more effort in heavy traffic, but offers good control. Turning radius of 5.2m is reasonable for urban maneuvers. Good ground clearance for everyday Indian road conditions.
Highway Performance
The 114 bhp engine is sufficient for highway cruising but needs planning for quick overtakes.
Ride & Comfort
Torsion beam rear suspension handles most road imperfections adequately. Cabin noise is well-controlled at city speeds; some wind noise creeps in on highways. 433L boot space is adequate for weekend trips.
7. Community Sentiment
Community verdict for Kia Seltos 2023-2025: Sentiment is overwhelmingly positive. Owners frequently praise mileage / fuel efficiency, but express concern about concern.
