Kia Seltos 2025 vs Honda Elevate 2025 : Two contenders took to the stage in 2025 to showcase perhaps the most competitive compact SUV market in India. On the one hand, the modified version of Kia Seltos is on the other hand, the new Honda Elevate. Both are promisingly stylish, feature-rich, and dynamically performing, making it difficult to pick just one. Seltos is already a star in its own right, while the talk about Elevate is centered on its bold styling and plug-n-play Honda reliability. Let us have a closer look at the comparison.
A sharper aesthetic element is given to the new 2025 Kia Seltos, with a wider grille, sportier alloy wheels, and zargar LEDs. Youngens still remain premium-looking in their appeal for urban buyers. The Honda Elevate 2025 appears boxier and taller, hence giving it a rough, SUV-like outlook or presence. Comparatively, Seltos has a more contemporary and stylish look. Elevate, however, would give that bold, muscular character.
The Seltos 2025 would have numerous engines such as 1,5L petrol and diesel units in addition to a 1,4L; also, there is an option of a turbo-petrol engine with both manual and automatic gearboxes for the interested customer. Well, this is the one buyer wanted since it serves versatility and reliability all in one. The Honda Elevate 2025 will most likely stick to the same script with its 1.5-litre petrol engine coupled to a 6-speed manual and CVT automatic. While smooth and reliable, the range of options on offer pale in comparison to those flaunted by the Seltos.
Kia is known for stuffing its cars with features, and the Seltos 2025 also continues with this tradition. It will carry things such as a panoramic sunroof, large touchscreen, a digital cluster, ADAS safety tech, ventilated seats, and connected car features. The Honda Elevate 2025 has a sunroof, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, really spacious interiors, and the superb integrity of builds by Honda, but it is somewhat simpler compared with the feature-rich Seltos.
Expected price for Kia Seltos 2025 is between ₹12-20 lakhs according to variant and engine. Expected price of Honda Elevate 2025 should be a bit lesser, around ₹11-17 lakh, making it even more attractive on the buyers’ side of the economically priced SUVs.
For you, the best very well be a feature-loaded, stylish, and powerful SUV with multiple engine combinations: the Kia Seltos 2025. However, if a buyer is looking for a value-for-money SUV in a reliable and spacious form with Honda’s trust, it will be Elevate 2025. In fact, each has its strengths, and the end call would depend on whether one is looking for features or simplicity with reliability.
