Hyundai Creta or Kia Seltos: Which SUV to buy?

I am confused between the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos; both look amazing. My budget is Rs 20 lakh and I want performance, space and good aftersales service. I prefer manual transmission and a turbo engine for a peppy ride.

We can understand your confusion as both, the Seltos and the Creta are very similar, as they come from the same automotive conglomerate (Hyundai Motor Group). The Seltos definitely has a sportier character and better interiors, though overall performance and space is the same. The Creta has a better cushioned backseat and the service network is better. So, to make it easy, we say if you are buying with your heart, go for Seltos, if you are buying with your head, the Creta is the one. But, you won’t go wrong with either.
