Kia Seltos Vs MG Hector VsTata Harrier Vs Hyundai Creta

Now that Kia Seltos is unveiled and the design, features it is going to offer and also the major part i.e, the engine and transmission options are going to wow the customers for sure. How they are gonna price it and the variants line up is gonna create more curiosity than anything. It doesn't look butchy like Harrier and sophisticated like Creta but it is modern, futuristic yet the way it is designed in terms of interiors and exteriors are very fresh to look at and also many of the features were segmented first like the new connectivity features and they named it UVO and those features are more or less the same when you look at Venue  from Hyundai.

But we are here to make a comparison on which one will create the benchmark in the segment and also in sales numbers for now by comparing its rivals.
1.Rivals: The Rivals are Tata Harrier, Hyundai Creta, MG Hector.
2.Engines: Here among the bunch MG Hector and Tata Harrier are powered by the same 2.0 lit multi-jet engine from fiat that produces a power of about 170 Ps for Hector and 138 Ps for Harrier which is lower tuned and Creta also produces a healthy 126 Ps of power but we don't know the power figures of Seltos yet we can't fix still it could be higher in petrol because it is now powering the 1.4 lit T-GDI engine and two diesel options with 4 transmissions among which 3 are automatic and 1 manual which is not at all offered by any other rival in the segment itself and thus one will surely become the biggest USP for Kia while competing. So, if you want an SUV that has more flexibility then you got to choose the Seltos.

3. Design: Here things may become subjective because the Creta looks like an urban SUV and Harrier looks beefed up and Hector is a bit tricky due to its MPV like rear and SUV like front which is confusing but Seltos has the fresh front and SUV like rear for sure and I am not exaggerating that Seltos is a looker but its relatively nice in my opinion. Also, the All LED lighting is offered by both Hector and Seltos while Harrier offers Xenon headlamps and Halogen by Creta. 

4. Features: Here its like a neck and neck competition between MG Hector and Kia Seltos as both offer a huge list of features while the others like Harrier is more concentrated on safety, some offroad tech and size, Creta is more on how to provide a refined drivability, decent list of features and also very urban like design inside and out. MG Hector is the fully connected SUV while Seltos is partially connected one with its UVO tech offered by Kia. The Interiors are quite nice in all the SUV's while in MG Hector its clean, more upmarket yet very nice and coming to Seltos they didn't allow anyone to open the doors but from windows itself it looks more fresh, sporty, futuristic and also clean without any confusion creating on which is for what like that. Harrier! Well, it looks absolutely better put together but the infotainment system feels half satisfied due to its lazy response sometimes and also the improper placement of charging ports and no reclinable rear seats is a bummer but they are well contoured and well laid out cabin. Coming to Creta its very very simple, elegant and also decent in the features list.

5. Price: This is the section where we can have the chance to judge whether this car can survive or not. Harrier's price was very good while Creta feels a bit overpriced due to its strange omissions in the features list. MG Hector and Kia Seltos prices are not yet revealed but if they can price these two in the right range then they can expect a good amount of sales and also fame. In my opinion, MG Hector must be priced in between 14-19 lakhs range because of the standard equipment list they have announced in the base variants and Kia Seltos should be in 13-18 lakhs price range because of the no. of transmission options and also the design is worth it in my feelings.
Finally to conclude this, if Kia could price the Seltos in the right range then it can rule the SUV space occupied by Creta but mg is no longer behind and it is also having the chance to become the favourite SUV but I think with the transmission options, features it offer and more importantly the new brand feeling I think Kia has the chance to prove what it is and why Kia for the customers.  Please comment down your opinion on the comment section below.

2020 Hyundai I20 Vs Tata Altroz! Which is better?

Tata Altroz:  Tata has launched their gold standard vehicle the Altroz recently and also they've priced it very effectively keeping the costs they've to handle with the new BS-6 engines and also offered many good features like dual horn, ambient lighting, part digital and part analog cluster, comfortable rear seats, 90°opening doors and also for the first time a cruise control, steering mounted controls and many more like this. What Tata Motors offer uniquely for this particular vehicle of theirs is the modification packs for the car and you can customize it with the packs they offer us. This is a very unique thing and also the Harman  powered audio system sounds very nice and clear. The Drive modes are restricted to 2 this time which are City and Eco and as the name suggests the City is for sporty driving while Eco is for better fuel economy figures. Having  the 1.5lit engines Diesel and 1.2 Petrol which are meeting the BS-6 norms were detuned and also they...

Renault Duster! It had its chance.

Welcome to CarsReboot!  There are many people who love Duster for its proportions, ride quality and also the sense of space it has inside it but now it has lost its charm to some extent with its other rivals and it fell into the category of only petrol with no AWD but it still has its chance to become a bigger player if Renault could do some key changes in it. 1. Engine: The 1.5lit was a very good one but now the company has shut it due to the upcoming BS6 regulations and it now replaces both the 1.5lit Diesel and petrol with a 1.3lit petrol engine which is BS6 compliant and the power figures have changed a bit. If they really needed some strong sales then introducing a 1.5lit BS6 compliant diesel and petrol engines with auto gearboxes in both fuel options would have made it a strong seller for Renault. 2. Interiors: Many might have felt this but I intended to stress about this particular one because the interiors in Duster were not that appealing and the reason is...
