Cankles-McJeggings ahh gotcha, there was an EV6 which was triple the price of what we paid for the seltos, which seemed to be their top tier model. Same pricing as BMW.

Here it’s the Sonnet then the Seltos and then EV6, pricing wise. But I might be missing a model between the seltos and ev6.

    The ev6 is a car not an SUV. As is the Sonnet.

    Kia suv range.

    Seltos
    Sportage
    Sorrento

      Cankles-McJeggings I think you need to drive in Bangalore to understand why a big fuck off SUV is nothing but a liability. Very happy with the size of seltos.

        Cankles-McJeggings the sonet is considered a compact SUV here (same tier as the Ford Eco sport), and half the price of the seltos. And the EV6 Is categorised as an SUV here.

          I’ve just looked. India is totes fucked up compared to the first world! The names, the range, everything is different. Ignore what I said. You haven’t even got the Sorrento which is a blokes car. You haven’t even got the Sportage either . Bigger than Seltos, smaller than Sorrento, but considered a soccer moms car. 🤮

            Cankles-McJeggings I think Sorento is the same category as Jeep Compass, going by the expected price. Only expected to come to india 2050? Google might be wrong with that date but wtf.

                Sorrento same class as Toyota Prado, mitsubishi pajero and Hyundai Santa Fe.
                There’s no way a car company would project 27 years 😂

                    Cankles-McJeggings Weird they didn’t bring down the Sorento to India (the website leads me to the US site unlike the others), guess there isn’t a market for it here yet.

                      Cankles-McJeggings Give or take, that’s what the Jeep Compass is going for here. Have 0 interest in doing off roading, the normal roads here give me that experience. I’d have probably stuck with the seltos if the Sorento was available.

                        I cancelled my EV car order last week. Had a look at the finances of it again, weighed it all up and decided to cancel. It was only a lease agreement anyway so I wouldnt have owned it. I’ll now be looking at the 2nd hand car market, but will wait a few months to see if the market settles down a bit

                          gcw did you incur a cancellation fee/deposit loss?

                              alistair no, although I do have to pay for the home charging point that was installed as part of the deal (or pay for it to be removed). I’ll prob get it removed.

                                I’m in the same position, just have the 7KW home charger which isn’t going to be used at these rates

                                Switching to petrol as its 33p cheaper per litre where I am, the robbing fuckers

                                Smooth sailing, lovely first drive with the Seltos. Will do a road trip in a couple of weeks and share some feedback if anyone is curious about KIA.

                                Gotta say, bose sound system was banging.

                                How does it drive over beggars? At least the sound system will drown their screams.

                                Looks better in that dark grey finish.

                                Silver / light grey makes it look like one of those Communist era box cars from the Soviet Union.
