Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives
Kia Seltos
  • Still a very good looking Crossover
  • new DRLs and connected taillamps look fab. 18-inch alloys now in both X-line and GTX+ variants
  • ADAS 2.0
  • panoramic sunroof and dual zone climate control. New more powerful turbo petrol. Plenty of drivetrain options including a diesel engine.
MG Hector
  • Road presence. A large SUV that will get attention on the roads. Spacious and comfortable cabin. Ample space for six-footers. Loaded with features such as powered seats
  • front seat ventilation
  • 14” Touchscreen and ADAS — feels like money well spent.
Kia Seltos
  • Prices will go up. Some could feel that the visual changes are not enough.
MG Hector
  • No diesel-automatic option. Will put off buyers with high running. Petrol engine is not particularly fuel efficient. Not recommended for heavy city use.
