kia Seltos! Some aspects Kia should look into.

Hello guys! Welcome to CarsReboot! Today we're gonna discuss the Kia Seltos.

Kia Seltos! With their very first offering itself shook the market almost in all aspects like design, features, style, and much more. In this post, I'm gonna list out some aspects which Kia needs to look into as its the best time to address these things. Here we go:



1. Variants list which is very huge and not only customers but also the employees there could feel the stress to explain about each and every variant but what my assumption is that Kia is trying to sort out what our customer's needs and by doing this for some time they might change and sort the list into a simpler one but we need to wait for what's Kia gonna do about it in future because they didn't give any statements on this.

2. Top-end or HTX/HTX+ diesel variants and 1.5lit IVT or HTK variants are lacking in features. Before one would comment on a recently updated GTX+ variant in diesel, I just wanna remind you of one thing. Having a GTX+ AT diesel isn't sufficient, because in 1.4lit petrol they are offering both GTX+ DCT and also manual with almost every feature one could expect but here only in diesel AT isn't going to satisfy all customers as the ratio of manual buyers is more than AT buyers unless they don't have any other better option to choose from and along with that the on-road price of GTX+ Diesel costs nearly 21 Lakhs which is a very costly affair while its rival Hyundai Creta top-end diesel comes at 20.51Lakhs.



3. 1.5lit IVT petrol is also lacking on some features like ventilated seats in the top end and also 360-degree cameras and all are missing which Kia can at least look into what customers are requesting in that powertrain as no one wants to be left out with lack of features in their vehicle.

4. Price revisions were made by Kia one at the start by increasing the prices by Rs 35,000 on all variants and also there's one more revision made recently which ranges from Rs25,000 - 35,000/- which doesn't make sense because they have made the revision at the start and if they revise it again means, they might lose the sales which could lead customers to Hyundai Creta and this isn't what any car manufacturer expect to happen, even Kia also.



5. The UVO connected features are 37 which is 13 less than Hyundai Creta and one more thing is that the responses to infotainment or engine are server related ones and take time to respond and things like these work a bit better in 2020 Creta which is having preset commands which work as you command. So, this is something that Kia needs to enhance as they release their facelift in future.

So, these are some aspects which I thought of addressing and my opinion is that the rising prices are going to affect the sales in a negative manner which no company wishes to happen and I obey the fact that Kia despite offering so many features is a good buy but people could gravitate towards other vehicles in the compact SUV segment if these type of changes occur in between and the company should carefully analyse things every now and then so that they can get more customers.

Thank you for reading this post and do post your opinions about the increase in prices and what's your opinion about it on whether it affects the sales of a company or not?

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...

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...

Kia seltos! The Technological Marvel!

Kia Seltos! The Name might not be that flashy back then but now its the segment best seller and for an SUV that looks very stylish inside and out needs a bit more explanation on what it has and what it offers as well.  Kia Seltos is the first vehicle that was launched in India and one must obey that the adds they were showing in recent times on stunning Kia designs are very true and if anyone doesn't obey it then they must look at the Kia Seltos.                       1.Design: I thought about engines but the design caught my eye. The Tiger nose grille at the front does look futuristic, stylish and the chrome treatment is in the right manner, the 17-inch alloys look good on this and also the roof rails are bigger and create more stance to the vehicle. The All LED lighting will help Kia in many ways because of the way they are adapting to their futuristic ideas and the vertical DRL's are unique in style and more ...
