The compact SUV segment is filled with the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Nissan Kicks and Renault Captur and now, has got another member, the Kia Seltos. It still remains to be seen which SUV comes first in terms of practicality. To help you, let’s have a look at the data given below:

• The Nissan Kicks is the longest, and is as wide as the Captur. Both have the same wheelbase too.

• The boot space is the most in the Seltos while the Creta and the Kicks offer 400 litres of luggage capacity.

• Except for its height, the Creta is smaller in every aspect.

• The Creta offers the maximum legroom of all the SUVs.

• Hyundai Creta even has the maximum kneeroom on offer.

• However, taller people will find the Captur to be a better choice as it offers the most headroom.

• The Creta’s front seats have the maximum length, width and height among all its rivals.

• At 1400mm, the Creta has the widest cabin.

• Overall, in terms of front-row seating, the Creta is the winner.

 

• Kia Seltos has the maximum shoulder room among all the compact SUVs.

• At the rear, the maximum headroom is offered by the Hyundai Creta.

• The Creta even offers the maximum legroom at the rear.

• The Creta has the widest rear seats and is able to accommodate three adults comfortably.

• The Seltos’ floor hump is 45mm tall and 325mm wide whereas that of the Kicks measures 75mm in height and 275mm in width.

• The top-spec variants of the Kia Seltos and the Hyundai Creta are a lot costlier than those of the Nissan Kicks and the Renault Captur.

• Kia offers three engine options on the Seltos- two petrol and one diesel, all of which get an automatic gearbox as well.

• The Creta too comes with three engine options- one petrol and two diesel. An automatic transmission is available only with the 1.6-litre engines.

• However, Nissan is offering only a manual gearbox as of now.

• The Captur too shares the same engine options and misses out on an automatic option.

• Absence of an automatic transmission helps in the Captur and the Kicks being cheaper than their Korean counterparts.
