Same money, which car?
Take ₹14.52L to both showrooms and you come out with the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater at ₹14.52L or the Seltos HTK(O) at ₹14.52L.
Our take
Same money either way, so take the Seltos HTK(O): all-wheel disc brakes and panoramic sunroof. The useful extras on top: drive modes and terrain modes. The rest of the additions are minor trim.
- Also on the Seltos HTK(O): rear parking camera, front parking sensors, wired CarPlay / Android Auto and cruise control, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Seltos HTK(O), you give up ventilated front seats, driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital) and third-row AC vents, which the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater keeps
- Choose the Citroen AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater if
- Your budget is firm and the basics are enough for you
- Choose the Kia Seltos HTK(O) if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
