While the
Nissan Kicks 2023 has a starting price of AED 67,500 and the
Hyundai Creta 2023 starts at AED 75,900, the Kia Seltos 1-4T stands out with its impressive features.
One of five available trim levels, the 1-4T includes Airbags, Anti-theft alarm, BA (Brake Assist), EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), Cupholders, Fabric Seats, Foldable Rear Seats with 60:40 Split, Power Steering, Daytime Running Lights - LED, Door Mirrors with Side Turn Signal, Electric Door Mirrors, Fog Lamp - Rear Only, Apps, Automatic AC, AUX, and Bluetooth.
This Korean compact SUV is powered by a 1.4-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine that generates 138 horsepower and 242 Nm of torque.
In comparison, both the Nissan Kicks and Hyundai Creta feature a 1.6-litre engine, offering different driving experiences for consumers.
For the United Arab Emirates, the average price of the Seltos across all versions is AED 70,800. Factoring in an annual depreciation of 30%, we expect the 1-4T to cost around AED 57,400 on the
used car market by next year.
With a 50-litre fuel tank and an average fuel consumption, filling the 1-4T is likely to cost AED 146.5, considering the current fuel price of AED 2.93 per litre for unleaded gasoline 95.
With an average annual commute of 25,000 kilometers, the owner can expect to spend approximately AED 4,400 annually on fuel, making the Kia Seltos a cost-effective choice for urban driving.
The Seltos has gained popularity in the UAE for its blend of style and practicality, appealing to both families and young professionals.
Additionally, the model's advanced safety features and modern technology make it a competitive option in its segment, ensuring peace of mind for drivers and passengers alike.
