My 2023 Kia Seltos X-line comes home: Likes & dislikes on the first day

The car is just too good in all aspects so far and didn’t disappoint me anywhere. The ride became much smoother and silent with new tyres.

BHPian nkvyas recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Finally the day has arrived. Took the delivery of my Xline Petrol today from SNR Kia Bhopal. Here are my initial impressions:

It took around month and a half of waiting for the car to be allotted which is impressive given the official waiting told to me was 14-15 weeks. PDI on last Monday was smooth no niggles and SA was kind enough to move the car around for me to get a better light and view.The final on road price came out to be 21.7L with BH series registration.

The insurance was initially quoted as 76k but they were kind enough to match with what I was getting online via Acko. Finally it was 52k. Was given a gift hamper which had chocolate box and two coffee mugs. Odo reading was just 3km on delivery and they gave 5 litres of fuel.

Switched off some of the ADAS features like emergency braking etc for now as I am still getting used to them.

TPMS read around 50 psi which I have adjusted to 35 once I exchanged the stock JK tyres with Continental UC6. Got em @ 8500 per tyre after exchange of 4500 for JK.

Max mileage for initial 90km drive turned out to be 16 with mix of eco and sport modes. It’s too early to judge this I believe.

PPF is due in few days with Ceramic Pro @ 1.3L

The car is just too good in all aspects so far and didn’t disappoint me anywhere. The ride became much smoother and silent with new tyres.

Too many beeps and warning sounds which will take it’s own sweet time to get used to and enable/disable as per the necessity.

The only thing I hate about Kia & Hyundai are their trumpet horns. It’s way too irritating and can easily become the reason for road rage. It’s a personal opinion though and I try to not use the horns unless absolutely necessary but I have to be careful with this.

Long drive is upcoming post diwali when I take it to Hyd. Will post an update later for that.

Here are the pictures.
