This is interesting and comes just in time. Given your experience with the UC6 in stock size, which tyre would you now recommend?

This issue persists from the previous gen Seltos. No wireless Car Play even though the lower trims have this functionality. To get around I used the Carlinkit device and have saved it from my previous vehicle.

In my previous Seltos, the wireless charger did not work with my iPhone in the Spigen cover. Hopefully, this time around, it will work as it works flawlessly in the Fronx which I recently tested.

I was initially a little unsure whether I had placed the phone properly and whether the phone was being charged, but later noticed that the charging indicator was lit up.

Totally with you on this. I have never opened the sunroof in any of my vehicles. In fact, it is a hassle to clean the muck which accumulates over time on the crevices of the sunroof. We should indeed have an option to not get this.

In my opinion, sunroofs should only be sold as an option in India but when did any manufacturer give us only what we want? There is no way we can avoid the forced add ons.

The MID shows directions when using the on-board navigation.

Doesn't appear to work when using Carplay/AA.

This essentially means the directions won't be visible on the hud of the xline as well when using Google maps. Oh well

This is the Accessories package which KIA has bundled with the prices. Talk to your SA and tell him you don't want any chrome stuff since its an X-Line. He will give you an alternate list of accessories. Dealerships have made it compulsory to take the 25k Accessories pack for early delivery, but some dealerships are giving back the amount to the customer.
But if your dealership makes it a compulsion to take accessories of 25k from them, I advise you to get Door Visor, Key Cover, Body Cover, Rain Visor and Dashcam from them and get the Mats aftermarket fitted

The current Creta also shows the native system map directions on the Instrument Cluster.

Thank fully i haven't been forced to take anything at all in the form of accessories by the dealership. It's totally upto me to select, if any, accesory I want.

I have selected screen protector, door visor, boot matt, door matt, remote cover only.

Oh, that's why you got it early. I booked a GtX+ diesel with a K code from Celica in sector 5- they have been a little casual.

Have fun driving- Also do share experience driving with the Yoko tyres. Did you get them upgraded also from Eastern KIA only or some tyre shop?

What is the cost of the dashcam. Also how is the fit and finish? Are there wires hanging around or did they connect everything internally? It would be great if you could share the pics of your dashcam. Thanks

I have been endlessly watching YouTube videos as I wait for my Seltos allotment. Some of these YouTubers, especially those who seem to be VW fans keep mentioning about inferior ride quality of Kia. Recently, in one of the ownership reviews, someone mentioned he changed from Seltos to Kushaq because he had issues with poor braking setup which didn't give him confidence while driving downhill.

Can someone who has driven both cars let me know if this is true?

Finally got the Seltos GT Diesel Automatic delivered today at KIA JSP BLR. Upgrading from Nexon AMT diesel, it’s a pretty non-jerky smooth drive. Lot of features and ADAS features to explore.

Dashcam costs 15k (inclusive of tax), this is similar to the one that hyundai provides (w/ creta) and does not support any app.

I had asked for the post-installation photo from my SA, he is yet to share it. But he did mention it will be connected to the 12v socket and wiring will be neatly tucked-in.

Did you test-drive the vehicle? Did you like the ride quality? If yes, then you shouldn't worry too much about it. Even though Seltos has a slightly stiff ride quality, it isn't as bad as some YouTubers make it out to be. I have test driven Taigun, Scorpio N, Harrier, Seltos, and Kushaq recently, and I would say Setlos is fairly good, and the stiff suspension setup is not noticeable unless you take the car on really bad roads.

Thank you. I understand what you mean. I did give a test drive and was happy but my comparison is only with my 2009 i20 and 2021 swift dezire. Also, the question was about braking (which only some VW fans mention) and not about suspension (which everyone mentions anyway)

No app support and connecting to 12V port permanently? Jeez... Not worth 15k then Now need to look for other accessories to make up their 25k requirement.
