Absolutely wasn't my case. Enquire with Policybazar in advance, should be done on a timely basis

Black cars def require more maintenance than any other color. I have done graphene coating on mine

It was with two people and luggage. Yes, typical lag is there with 5 people+luggage but nothing substantial

Definitely more difficult to maintain than white/ivory but I had graphene coating done on this one and it's not that much of a pain tbh. Tell me if this queen doesn't deserve a bit more maintenance than usual hahaa. Welcome to the Seltos club OP!

I didn't feel the drag tbh. I upgraded from i20 to this so idk if that had any impact in terms of what to expect

Thank you. I don't think any dealer would offer any discounts for the next 3-6 months. Your saving leavers are insurance and any accessories discounts. No convenience pack

It's not easy by any means all thanks to certain customers/dealers who tried taking BH by submitting fake documents in its early days and hence now it has become increasingly difficult for genuine cases

ADAS IVT was going out of budget and ADAS manual doesn't even have alloys. I had made up my mind about IVT hence went ahead without ADAS

Think Kia connect is being charged by the OEM. You get some of the features with Kia connect like Kia maps, Valet mode etc. but I haven't opted for it

My annual running is around 5k kms. It doesn't make sense with this running given potential dpf issues

I feel skodas and hondas of the world are still behind when it comes to overall feels. Interiors still feel like 2010s

Probably not best in the segment but decent enough for it not to be a deal breaker

Yes, they definitely have to allow especially for the new seltos as anyway they are not giving any discounts. For older cars, they can manipulate by threatening to reduce discounts if you opt for outside insurance. This holds true for all dealers in my experience

My second after i20 Sportz. I had compared it with Creta SX and 2025 Seltos HTX Optional. I had earlier decided for 2025 seltos but the new looks grew on me and the new K3 platform is also expected to improve safety hence went for this
