I test drove both Honda City CVT & Kia Seltos IVT a month back and while I could not find much of the difference while driving both the cars. It was Seltos which was shaking when I was changing the gear lever from N to D or D to N while the car was in a standstill.


When inquired, I was told that since it's a chain-driven, the car shakes; didn't experience a similar phenomenon in Honda city. Owner's of Seltos IVT may share their experience.
I have test driven a Honda City CVT long back & now own a Seltos IVT. I found that the rubber band effect was more pronounced in Honda City. In Seltos, there was no such effect & the power delivery is very linear with no lag

Well Done

Please share the costs involved in this upgrade.
Thank you.

With the buyback of the stock tires, I paid about 35k for the Michelin Primacy 4ST 235/55/17.

I have to say the ride quality has improved quite a bit and it is noticeable even with the limited driving I've had on the factory tires.
