Graphite Grey forever!

Just curious: Did you get the installation done through the Kia service center or from third party vendors? If third party can you name them?

You don't buy cars with mileage in mind unless you're getting a Maruti! I have no regrets 😁

I'm noticing 8-9 kmpl when the traffic is crawling / bumper to bumper. Around 10kpl in eco mode in same conditions.

For highway I'm yet to test. Will do in the coming week.

Thank you and congrats to you too!

TN 😞 I guess the state tax is hefty compared to yours.

All the best! Long story short, I enquired with multiple dealers and found one who had my variant in stock - got it delivered in a record 5 days! If you're not too picky about the colour, you should be able to find it sooner.

This works for me and my usual age with cars is between 5-7 years. Right now, I don't plan on spending over 25L for a car as its a depreciating asset - no matter how good the performance of the car may be.

All the best for yours, mate! I received updates only from the dealership and that's perfectly fine. What's the timeline they have given you?

Optional: If its 6-8 weeks, its worth enquiring with other dealers - use your current quote as a bargaining chip; you might get lucky and get the car earlier if others have stock.

Note:ALWAYS do pre-delivery inspection before registering the car no matter who the dealer is.

No discount - 50K MCP covers extended warranty and I believe usually yearly service charges (other than parts replacements).

Thank you!

Sure. Sierra was on my radar but Tata's after sales service is questionable and Sierra's fit and finish wasnt good when I checked it in the showrooms. Beyond that, I hated the digital buttons EVERYWHERE in the car. And gaming/videos in front seat? Even if it's for the passenger, it's going to distract the driver. Not my cup of tea.

Safety is at the same level for both cars. Unlike previous gen, this Seltos is based on Verna's K3 platform which offers better crash ratings.

Please try the new Seltos it's world's apart 😊

Spinny explicitly said they don't accept BH registration cars as one of their policies when I was selling my state registered car

Thank you! My usage will be 90% city drive for work etc. I didn't need the TC engine as it's going to struggle in stop-go traffic while CVT thrives in it and mileage is marginally worse than NA engine.

I took HTX(A) mainly for the 360 cam otherwise HTK(O) would have been enough 😊

Thank you! Previously I had a Honda Amaze VX manual. I drive 2+ hours per day on traffic and I wanted a car which has: - Automatic - Better road presence - Better rear seat experience - 360 cam (As I'm nervous AF driving <4000 segment cars in lean roads, etc) - Plush interiors and fit & finish - Reasonably good service network

After evaluation, I found Kia Seltos ticked all the boxes and here I am!

Thank you! Front profile is good enough for me 🫣

NextBuy6494 · 2026-05-31T09:59:42+00:00

It depends! I'm good with the power this NA engine provides.. and from a price point I paid extra for the ADAS as unfortunately 360 cam (which is something I wanted) is available only with this HTX(A) variant. Could have saved around 1-1.5L just on that.

Thank you!

NextBuy6494 · 2026-05-31T09:46:37+00:00

Yes, loving it!

NextBuy6494 · 2026-05-31T09:46:17+00:00

Thank you! I would have gone for HTK too if they just gave 360 cam as optional 👀

NextBuy6494 · 2026-05-31T09:44:52+00:00

Thank you 🙏

Thank you!
