It's 80% yes and 20% no because the other rivals are unable to touch it as it is offering more at less compared to what the competition is offering. I will explain it.
Kia has launched the Seltos at a price range from 9.61-15.99 lakhs which is a very good proposition and what I like most about is that its a near-complete vehicle despite some backdrops it had and if they correct it with their facelift then there will be no stopping Kia and now they are the best and biggest-selling in the compact SUV segment.

Now I will discuss the heading i.e, is it a complete SUV? As I said above its a yes almost and that's because the rest i.e, rivals like Hector, Harrier, Creta being the segment leader has lost its post and it has taken up by the Kia now with Seltos and it will continue as long as Hyundai does something wonderful and smart than what Kia did now.
About the rivals, I will mention some simple lines which will realize us in some aspects and I do believe that there is no perfect vehicle in it but Kia is very nearby to that perfection.
Tata Harrier: This is a kind of Macho vehicle that looks rugged and the legendary Landrover underpinnings make it more crowd-pulling and also fans for it. It has turned a lot of eyes while it was showcased at the auto expo but as the production version was launched it was actually very near to the prototype and coming to the point where the Harrier has lost its position is in the engine noise and features department. Yes! They have done well with it but the unique features they thought would work didn't do well and its a bit struggle for Tata but do check out the post about "https://carsreboot.blogspot.com/2019/03/how-tata-could-have-improved-harrier.html" in the blog.
MG Hector: Hector is also same as Kia and has brought their very first fully connected SUV that does well in many things but it also lacks in some spaces like the Engine is very good, features everything is very nice but its not yet complete with the MPV like appearance, no automatic in diesel and also things like smaller size alloys and the noise insulation isn't that great and its the same with the Harrier too.
Hyundai Creta: Creta has been the segment leader for quite a while and it has offered customers with a lot of features like ventilated seats, very frugal engine and also the simple and clean interiors, good appearance and also the Hyundai trust we get on the resale value, reliability they were offering till now. But there is something it has forgot to bring and i.e, the balance of features in every variant and also irrelevant features-missing and the most important thing is the price to features ratio is way low than what Kia offers now but this is the one more big reason for Creta to lose its position at the top.
This is what has made Kia to do their best in almost everything to make their vehicle fully equipped and also more feature-rich, very modern and futuristic interiors, emission less 1.5 lit engines which Hyundai is gonna install in its new Verna, Creta with their new generations to cut the cost of creating new engines on their own.
Even though what makes Kia Seltos a great purchase is the price, very balanced in feature distribution and also we have what we need and also the automatic in diesel, petrol, and the all-new powerful 1.4TGDI petrol engine is a sweet one that looks stunning in style, features and also the sporty interiors and many more. Now, let's point out what it isn't good with Seltos.
1. Airbags in the top end model are also 2 only and this is not that good and if one wants a safer one they must choose the 15.99 lakhs one else they get only 2 airbags which is very bad for a car like this.
2. Rear seat comfort is good but fitting 3 full-size adults is gonna be a problem for sure.
3. The Top end diesel and petrol automatics could be a bit less like 15.4lakhs or something because its a lot higher but comparing it with Harrier it's size is less but anyway it is hefty right!
These are more which I feel need to be improved but if there are any more which you can add pls do drop them in the comment section below and I will add them in the post.
