Overview

The Kia Seltos may wear a sharp suit of its own, but under the skin it shares bloodlines with a very familiar face, the Hyundai Creta. Both sit on the same platform, born out of Hyundai-Kia’s shared architecture strategy, which explains why their sizes, engines, and even driving manners feel like cousins at a family reunion. Where the Creta was the pioneer that cracked open India’s mid-size SUV market back in 2015, the Seltos arrived in 2019 as the cooler, younger s... More

Kia Seltos 1st Gen (2019-25) FAQs

The Seltos is a 5-seater compact SUV. It offers good headroom and legroom for front and rear passengers, making it comfortable for small families or groups of friends. Boot space is 433 litres, enough for weekend luggage or groceries.

Mileage depends on the engine and transmission. Petrol versions deliver around 17-18 kmpl under mixed conditions; diesel trims push closer to 19-20 kmpl in highway use. Variants with turbo petrol will be slightly lower.

Using a petrol version with ~17.9 kmpl and assuming petrol at ₹102 per litre: Fuel cost per km ≈ ₹6.00 (₹102 ÷ 17.0-18 kmpl)

The Seltos measures about 4365 mm in length, 1800 mm width, and 1645 mm in height. Ground clearance is decent. Being a compact SUVs' upper mid-SUV segment, parking in tight lanes or old colonies might need care, but in most modern apartments or shopping complexes, it’s manageable.

If you want a stylish SUV with good features, strong after-sales, multiple engine options, and you drive a mix of city + highway, the Seltos makes a strong case. It's good for young families, professionals who want presence without going full luxury, or people wanting a reliable SUV with resale value.

You have multiple engine choices: ~1.5-litre petrol (NA), a 1.5-litre turbo petrol (higher power), and diesel options. Transmission choices include manual, automatic, IVT, DCT depending on engine/variant.

Yes, the Kia Seltos and Hyundai Creta are like cousins who went to different fashion schools. Both sit on the same platform, share engines, and are built under the Hyundai-Kia umbrella. But Seltos is tuned for a sportier, tech-forward feel while Creta goes for softer ride comfort and mass appeal. If Creta is the “practical elder brother,” the Seltos is the “stylish cousin” with a sharper suit.
