Creta was ruling the SUV market in India until Kia launched its brand new SUV Seltos. While Seltos helped Kia in establishing itself in the Indian market, now both are having a stiff competition between them.  So which one is better?

Clearly, Seltos is more feature-rich than Creta but the level of comfortability is the same.

Touchscreen size, Audio facilities, and Connectivity are the same in both SUVs but Creta has some additional features like BlueLink integrated Smartwatch App and advanced BlueLink which makes it better than its rival in this segment.

There are some extra features in Creta but these don't matter as some of the important ones are in Seltos only. So Seltos is much safer.
There is a slight difference of ₹10,000 in price which does not count.


Which one to buy?

Both are similar or equal in every aspect but considering the safety, after-purchase service, and test drives, Seltos wins over Creta by a small margin. 




But if you trust Hyundai then definitely go for Creta.
