The new Kushaq in Monte Carlo trim certainly looks stunning, and though it doesn’t have ADAS and a 360 degree camera, we don’t think these are reasons not to buy the car if you find it appealing. Also, if you are going to be driving a lot on the highway in the future, the Kushaq with the 1.5 TSI engine and 7-speed DSG is a fantastic powertrain for high speed driving.
The Kia Seltos, as you say, is a more sensible purchase, has more space and features and is a better all-rounder. But the Seltos doesn’t offer the same joy of driving as the Kushaq, which you will enjoy with every long drive.
