    Thank you for this review. I was stuck between this and a T Cross and I'm glad I watched. Definitely leaning towards the Seltos because for this price I need leather seats and all the trimmings without having to pay extra.

    Yeah the power figures are not impressive but it's a good package overall. The wireless connectivity for Apple Car Play and Android Auto is a really nice touch. As for the pricing, all I can say is that car manufacturers really like to set their prices at R500 000. R500 000 is the new R200 000😭
    This was a short review but it had good details. Quite informative. As usual we thank you for the content and we'll be looking forward to the next subscribers special.

      Yeah, Kia is no longer the brand we ran to because VW is abusing us with their pricing. Anyways, I have test driven this car, the manual variant. It was actually punchy enough. The sales consultant told me the auto variant was not great.
      Wireless Android Auto and Apple Car Play are great but they will disconnect on you in critical moment and I feel a lot of people are not talking about this.

    1500 cc diesel engine with 250 nm Torque and 115 horsepower for its kerb weight of 1350 kg is more than enough. It touches 0-100 kmph in 10 seconds so what else do you want ? Apart from that these hyundai-KIA CRDi engines are most refined engines. May be you are judging because you have driven automatic gearbox variant but trust me i have manual gearbox variant and its very punchy and easily you can cruise at 140-160 kmph speed

    I was behind one of these the other day and the smoke coming out of the tailpipe in slow moving traffic was on par with a old truck, it almost sounded like one too. Also for that price youre not getting push button start? Really? This thing is overpriced for what it has. To top is off resale values are going to be crap because there is a newer version to this and a newer one being tested in Korea and Canada as we speak.

    • @mrhowmuch
      @mrhowmuch  Рік тому +1

      The previous generation Captur was considerably cheaper than the new model so a lot of people weren’t expecting the new model to be priced at 500K which is why I brought it up.
      With the Seltos it’s been on the market for some time which is why I asked viewers what they think of the pricing during the review or maybe you want me to say “ this car is expensive “ on every single review I do ? It would get boring and besides people who watch car reviews are not ignorant , they can see a car is pricy without always being told.

      The question I was trying to ask is if you think the Kia is a better value proposition at that price compared to the Renault. Because they're in more or less the same segment.
      Pricing as you know, is relative, what I find expensive might be pocket change for you
