Since you already own a turbo-petrol Kia Carens, chances are that you might find the 1.5 NA Petrol’s performance a touch lacklustre in comparison. However, since you are looking for a city car, the Seltos Petrol IVT will do the job just fine. This combination is smooth and refined, and the automatic is seamless in its operation. It is an ideal combination for the city, and one we can easily recommend.
The iMT, on the other hand, is paired to the turbo-petrol, and even though there is no clutch pedal, you still have to row through the gears manually. And while the gearshift action is smooth and effort-free, you don’t get the absolute convenience of full automatic. So for an effort-free drive, go for the 1.5 Petrol IVT version instead.
