I attended two weddings last month, which meant I used all the seats, and all the storage space in the Safari. It didn’t disappoint.

After spending so much time with the Seltos, I now fully understand why there are scores of it on our roads and what makes it so popular.

My family has been really appreciative of the interior quality of the Seltos – the materials, the fit and finish has been absolutely top notch – and it really is a rich experience.

The cold interior of the car every morning made me appreciate features like heated steering wheels and understand why people hate metal gear knobs.

Diesel may not be a crowd favourite at the moment, but for SUV buyers who spend more time munching miles than sitting in traffic, diesel engines are still relevant.

Success doesn’t come easy in the Indian automotive market, but Kia’s efforts show that if you put in the right efforts, it can be made to work. Now, I’m just looking forward to enjoy the next few months driving the new Seltos!

It is only this handful of cars – like the Virtus-Slavia siblings, the City and the Verna that are holding the fort for sedans, and, the Verna manages to strike the perfect balance between what all other cars offer.

The Hyundai Verna, for the first time its life, feels like a well-rounded car. It's comfortable, spacious, drives well, and with the most recent update, the Verna now scores the highest possible crash-test score from Global NCAP.

The Hyundai Verna's availability in a bunch of different powertrain options really spoils one for choice, and while we were happy with the naturally aspirated petrol motor that we seemed to be enjoying, a taste of the turbo-petrol version left us wanting more.
