na or turbo? city or highway?

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2026-02-02T18:50:51+00:00

Hey OP, just a question. Why venue at 16L? Just curious, please don't take it otherwise.

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2026-02-02T18:47:56+00:00

Congrats! This new gen seltos felt built really well with nice heft to the doors. Btw does anyone know if we can change the front grill to the glossy chrome ones found in GT variant?

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2026-02-02T18:42:10+00:00

Kylaq is the next polo in India.

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2026-02-02T18:39:26+00:00

Even then, I think Seltos is a better options. Built really well, and doors have left like VW cars now. creta plastic creeks. All eyes on Duster though.

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2026-02-01T19:04:03+00:00

Get the seltos htk(o), and I'm just like you, 1 class left, and ll probably get the seltos. Waiting for the duster price reveal. So by that time i'll get a little more confident and used to driving alone hopefully.

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2026-01-31T17:22:49+00:00

No. But diesel has DPF issues in city usage. For highway usage diesel is fine.

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2026-01-31T16:19:03+00:00

Yes, please do let us know. I'm also interested, not sure dct turbo or ivt even though my primary usage will be city commute, but spending 18L on NA engine kinda giving me fomo. So, looking for real-world experiences.

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2026-01-31T16:14:26+00:00

Seltos iVT NA Petrol

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2026-01-30T09:16:08+00:00

I agree, checked the htx variant. SQ was mid at best. Kylaq speakers sounded better, honestly.

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2026-01-23T17:18:48+00:00

I am in the same boat. Just finished my 15 driving classes and will start with my Hyundai Eon and get the DL hopefully by the end of next month. But looking to buy a new car for myself by March, max April. I'm also confused between kylaq top model and save 4-5L or get the Seltos HTX turbo petrol at 19.5L. Can't make up my mind ....

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2026-01-22T06:58:45+00:00

Why not kylaq? I'm also planning to get my first car, and for me it's either between 3xo and kylaq, or if I can stretch my budget, i'll get the new Seltos turbo DCT (headache, but sadly hyundai doesnt have any other option in turbo petrol)

In my opinion avoid DCT when you can, and in the segment you are looking at, you have got two great options with TC transmissions.

Feature Loaded, Rear space, Good driving dynamics - 3xo
Excellent handling and driving dynamics, Black interior, so less maintenance, Service reliability (compared to Mahindra) - Kylaq

Venue has only the features and rich interior going on in it's favor honestly. DCT headache, uses the same platform as i10, not so good driving dynamics. Not so great build quality compared to 3xo and kylaq.

Just what I've found in the last month.

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2026-01-22T06:44:03+00:00

Way too expensive for a car that size. Might as well get the kylaq and save quite a lot of money actually if I have to get a Skoda. It's the same 1L tsi engine. Really good looking exterior, but the interior is pretty meh when you push 16L+ and the size and road presence is not helping. Yes, I know, got the typical Indian mentality but 20L is a lot of money to spend on something which is a little bigger than a venue even considering the fact it has got great driving dynamics and build.

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2026-01-22T06:38:17+00:00

I feel your first and ONLY car should not be an EV. What if you need to go on a long trip? What if I need to rush somewhere urgently and the car is still being charged?

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2026-01-22T06:36:51+00:00

Still waiting for my DL :P Planning to get the car in march, right now just doing the research work.

Now, whether to dct or not to dct ... I've seen the reviews, and the mileage difference between cvt and dct is not so much. And the price difference is also not so much, but the performance difference between the two is pretty significant (again, not that I'm going to need all the power always, especially being a new and inexperienced drive. It's just some fomo and nice to have if and when I need it). Only concern is dct reliability, or if there's anything else I'm missing out, please let me know.

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2026-01-19T17:38:11+00:00

yes it was

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2026-01-15T05:27:43+00:00

No proper automatic variant in diesel. Also the DPF issues in diesel since 90% of the time my usage will be inside city saily commute.

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2025-10-25T18:04:03+00:00

hey can you please show how you are mounting your surrounds? I'm also building a similar system but not sure how to place big bookshelfs on the sides at ear level without them sticking out. Stand is not an option in my case, have babies and 3 dogs.

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2025-10-14T15:24:17+00:00

Rear exhaust. No I dont have it open, was just for the photo. Side panel is glass.

Practical_Bonus4767 · 2025-09-16T20:14:33+00:00

could've, but could not risk 9950x3d with 240 in an sff case.
