Q. Which is better between Kia Seltos HTX vs Nissan Kicks CVT XV Premium? I have booked Seltos with 3 months waiting but after test drove Kicks, I feel it is really great in terms of Engine Response, Power, Smoothness, great suspension, nice sound system than Seltos, Tinted glasses, HSA, Auto on-off during stops, machinsed alloy wheels....while the interior and instruments cluster average compared to Seltos. Now which one to go?

The Nissan Kicks would be a brilliant pick if you are looking for an SUV with premium design inside-out, powerful turbo petrol and CVT automatic option and brilliant ride quality. The Nissan Kicks has the potential to be an exciting alternative in the compact crossover segment - it looks exciting, has well-appointed interiors, has one of the most balanced ride characteristics in its segment, and has some segment-first features like a 360-degree reversing camera. The new turbo petrol means it's also the most powerful in the segment. However, it does have a few other small niggles, like the blanked out steering controls and the missing 60-40 split for the rear bench but it makes up for this with good highway driveability and excellent ride quality. You may pick the Nissan if you prefer better drivability and ride quality.
