I just watched your whole video, and it seems like the build quality is the same as before. Oh gosh, they didn't even consider our valuable lives for a second. It's too harsh for Indian customers. Indian people need to think 100 times before finalizing a car because it's very unsafe to buy one like this.
Tyres - any size from 15 inch & upwards- premium tyres - go only for Continental, Yokohama, Pirelli, Dunlop, Michelin only. Middle performance category - Bridgestone, MRF & Apollo. Economy lower categories- JK Tyre, Ceat. Lower most categories- Goodyear & some Chinese brands.
Agree with Rachit here. All these safety features are great but in India's growing, unpredictable roads and poor driving habits solid build quality must be priority. And unless GNCAP crash test happens, 15-25 Lacs for Seltos is not worth it. Safety before feature.
I was about to switch videos when i saw that motor octane Saying nothing on the safety of this car , mean this must be done with the paid promotion,??? but my trust got retained when I saw that he exactly spoke about what was needed that is the build quality. Great work motoroctane.
Nothing motivates me to work harder than a Motor Octane video showcasing a new car! All these years, just by your videos, I've worked harder and harder to one day make the right choice while buying my first car! Thank you in advance ❤

Rachit, you are the Best!!! As usual Motoroctane channel gives the best review. Was waiting for this review even when i watched other channels, and it served its purpose. The only channel to highlight the biggest issue, build quality and overall product quality. Just compare with Honda elevate. Lesser features but only those such are not deal breakers. What do we need in a car: ride quality, build quality, powerful engine, long warranty, sofa like seating, premium quality all around, and reliability overall. In that case only German and Japanese brands esp Honda and Nissan stand tall.
Everything is great in this car, like fit and finish, quality of materials design and refined engine. The one thing where it lacks is the structural rigidity like the competetors.
@@kargo1517 Now I am 100% sure why Maruti, Hyundai, and Kia sales are so high because idiots like you do exist here. If you drive this car at 50 km/h and if anything hits it from the other side at the same speed, you won't be safe in this 3-star tin can. I have seen many Maruti, Hyundai, and Kia cars that have been hit by tempos and others, and passengers have gotten hurt inside these tin cans. Only a 5-star car will save you from this speed, and everyone knows that if you drive at 150 km/h, no car will save you.

The price will drastically increase by almost 1 lakh for the top model is what I feel after all these additions but safety is still a concern as the body structure is really poor.
Looks Amazing & Feature loaded. This will definitely give good competition in its segment. But with better build quality products coming into market it will be challenging for Seltos.
Rear suspension is also the most important thing for comfort ride which you should mention which no one mentions.2.Air purifier is also very important fitment in a car because I've felt it's necessity in long touring.According to me KOREAN KIA is ahead of all they fulfills premium feel for middle class customer who can't afford premium cars First time time in our country👋.
Rachit, bahot Accha laga bro the way u have cleared abt the build qlty, that was the best part worth watching such transparent review, love u bro. "NOTHING HAS BEEN ANSWERED" what a reaction , just amazing
No doubts it's the best looking and best features car everyone will be willing to buy but in safety it is pooor else this kia seltos would have been the top selling car till now from the release
It's a great car for city roads, the person's gonna enjoy the ride with all the features, when it comes to the highways it's a great performance car too but, it's always a tension about the safety standards used by the manufacturer, build quality plays a huge role doesn't matter how many airbags they're going to offer.

I think Seltos would still attract more customers in that price range due to ADAS which you don't get with the XUV700. For reference, even the Alcazar is a good VFM product in that price range (top model, for the matter of fact), but people will still go for Seltos due to ADAS. Yes, cars like XUV700 and even Safari would be a better choice but hey, it's India, yk.
@@PRaneet1623 true but honestly, at this price range, even you know that XUV700 or Safari would be a better pick, right? Not commanding though, everyone has the choice to get whatever they want, this was just a random opinion.👍✌️
Very good video...I guess the Indian government should introduce a policy for car manufacturers that commits them to provide NCAP safety ratings along with the introduction of new cars. NCAP ratings after a year of launching of the cars is a kind of deception to customers, especially when the car is not good in safety ratings.
Well balanced car with all good features comfort performance and best design. Only build quality is concern which should be atleast close to 4 to become best in segment
Rachit, you have provided an excellent review covering all aspects. Additionally, at 9.28, you addressed a point that is often ignored by many RUclipsrs: SAFETY. You not only highlighted its importance but also mentioned the absence of updates from the manufacturer regarding the build quality of the new Kia Seltos. Furthermore, you advised considering another car in the market for better-built quality and safety. I salute you for your insightful review!
Thanks for the amazing intro. Awaiting a detailed drive review as well as info on different variants. I was interested in the NA Petrol HTX IVT variant but I see this variant does not have a full 10.25 digital cluster but a smaller one, which is a bummer since this will cost close to 19L on-road and the HTX+ variant does not have a NA 1.5L engine option. Would love to have more clarity on this difference. Thank you and keep up the awesome work!
In my opinion the heads up display is not that important feature as it does not add to the practicality but the ADAS is . As more manufacturers are adding this and now like we this feature in the price segment where many people are making purchases which will add more safety like the accidents which were caused due to driver fatigue will reduce.
Finally, Rachit discusses built quality as the video was boring and felt like Kia's RUclips marketing manager. But the last few seconds were something I wasn't expecting from Rachit, I'm delighted to hear the built quality concern. There are soma many videos of Seltos cutting into two pieces in serious accidents with no survivors. Can features save lives? Answer is NO 🙏
The front grill looks very busy. And, the Indicator housing should be sleeker. Overall, the car looks more muscular than its older version. Which is a good thing 👍🏼
Thanks Rachit ✌️ I want to address some thoughts on the build quality..i m not a kia staff btw 😂 Ncap etc is all good, perspective matters. Eg. Lohaa type quality of car body means nothing happens to the car, ppl inside though (god forbid) get internal shock injuries and may succumb. Contrary I would prefer the car to take the load, break…crumble but less shock to one inside and safety to the person inside not the car..
If any one wants smooth realiable engine than can go with seltos but if anyone want's strong build quality with high NVH levels then can go with tata because every car has some pros & cons.
3 things people went to creta over seltos which they covered now seltos is even more sophisticated.. it’s a competition to XUV 700 also now .. Panasonic sunroof , paddle shifters , electronic parking brake .. indeed ADAS .. it’s a definite killer for all compact suv .. but we need to see how they are pricing it
I believe either ADAS 2.0 or 100x won’t make sense on indian roads and commute. Additionally, observed that panoramic sunroof doesn’t have the solid shade it’s a tinted black mirror which again lead to direct sunlight in summer and will cause more AC BURN i.e more Fuel consumption
What about build quality ? Is it same 2 or 3 rated model , updated ? With new generation high speed highways, build quality is crucial for safety of passengers.
Why Indian car not come with power tail gate, sometime people feel odd to open tailgate of car worth 20 lakh by hand like taxi. Specially during any event.
