8. Chrome door handles
9. leatheretter/leather upholstery
10. multi color ambient lighting
11. multi color mood lamps on door pads
12. remote engine start stop with key
13. 10.25 inch touchscreen vs 8 inch
14. Connected car features through Kia connect (Blue link not available in S(O))

On the other hand Creta S(O) would get the wireless android auto feature over seltos's wired one. Creta also gets EPB with auto hold, Seltos would have conventional handbrake.

EPB with auto hold is quite useful and convenient feature (both in city traffic as well as on slopes/hilly areas) and may trump over some of the nice to have/cosmetic features on Seltos HTX.

Hyundai also stressed on the changes and that these have lead to an increased kerb weight by 50 kg, I am not aware of any similar difference in the face lifted Seltos.

Depends. IMO Some features in HTX Seltos are equally useful, if not more-
Auto dimming IRVM
One touch up down for all windows
Front parking sensors
Remote engine start stop with key (Helps a lot in summers)
LED fogs- Lights in Seltos and Creta have been historically average at best. Any additional lighting is better. Not sure how good bad the updated Creta's headlights are.
Connected car features- My dad is forgetful of locking his car and regularly uses the lock option through connected car features when he is in office, once he gets an alarm about the door being kept unlocked.

That said, I am always using the Auto hold function in DCT GT Line seltos of mine, and agree it is also very very useful!

I got this screen grab from Gaadiwaadi about the interiors of Creta at night.


Also attaching my Seltos's interior at night for comparison.

There seems to be some weight increase even in Seltos. Here I am cross posting from a Seltos thread-
