Since we all already know that the two cars share the same platform, they are quite similar in dimension. But they are not identical either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2024 Hyundai Creta<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Kia Seltos, despite being a sibling to the Hyundai Creta, gets a bigger body overall in all three dimensions. Compared to the Hyundai Creta, the Kia Seltos is 35 mm longer, 10mm wider, and 10 mm taller. That means extra space for the passengers inside the Seltos. Both cars have identical wheelbase, boot space and ground clearance, so you can pick from either of the two if these parameters are more important to you. However, you cannot ignore the small but significant extra room inside the Seltos, as even the slightest difference goes a long way during longer trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though both SUVs are quite adequately sized, the Kia Seltos gets an edge in all three size departments. It offers a slightly larger cabin, meaning more space for you and your passenger on the inside and a bigger, more commanding road presence on the outside.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n2024 Hyundai Creta vs Kia Seltos: Engine & Transmission<\/h2>\n\n\n

You might have expected that the Creta and the Seltos would offer the same performance since they are identical on paper. However, even with the same engine and transmissions, you will find subtle differences between the two when they are on the road. We would advise you to take a thorough test drive of both the Creta and Seltos to find the SUV best suited for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKia Seltos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nBoth the Hyundai Creta and the Kia Seltos come with three engine options. The first one is a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine. The power and torque these cars get with this engine are plenty enough for city driving and even highways in most cases. You can pair this engine with either the 6-speed manual or the iMT (clutchless manual) gearbox. The second engine option is a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol 4-cylinder that fares best for people wanting a lot more oomph from their car when they press the throttle. This turbo-petrol gets only the 7-speed DCT in the Creta. But the one in the Seltos gets the 7-speed DCT as well as the 6-speed iMT.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHyundai Creta N Line<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nFinally, there\u2019s the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated CRDi diesel engine that gets a 6-speed manual and 6-speed AT in both the Creta and Seltos. Additionally, it gets a 6-speed iMT for the Seltos as well. Mileage-wise, the Creta comes out as a slightly more efficient option (slightly being the keyword here) when compared to the Seltos. The Seltos claims an ARAI mileage of 17.0 to 17.9 km\/l for the petrol engines, whereas the Creta claims 17.4 to 18.4 km\/l for the same. In the diesel variants, the Seltos should deliver about 20.7 km\/l, which can be better or worse because the Creta claims 19.1 to 21.8 km\/l.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both SUVs are mechanically similar enough to safely ignore the subtle differences if that\u2019s not your primary concern. Here, the winner between the two can be either, depending on the factors we consider. If you want more choices in the transmissions on offer with the engines, the Seltos should be your pick. If you want to squeeze that extra little fuel efficiency out of your SUV, the Creta comes out on top.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n2024 Hyundai Creta vs Kia Seltos: Features and Comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n
