New Delhi. The second generation Kia Seltos has made its global debut, in which its exterior and interior have been completely redesigned and some new features have also been added. Its rivals include the recently launched Tata Sierra, which revives an iconic name and offers the latest innovations. So, which one is better in terms of features in the top trim of these two midsize SUVs? Let us know.
Kia Seltos Vs Tata Sierra: Features
Both midsize SUVs get an all-LED lighting setup, but the Sierra gets rear fog lamps and puddle lamps on all doors, which are missing from the next-generation Seltos. Apart from this, the Seltos comes with smaller 18-inch rims, while the Sierra gets larger 19-inch rims. However, the outside rearview mirror (ORVM) in Kia is synchronized with the memory function of the driver’s seat. Whereas in Sierra, memory function is available only for the driver seat.

Kia Seltos Vs Tata Sierra: Dashboard
Both models get a triple-screen setup with a 12.3-inch infotainment system. However, the Sierra gets a 12.3-inch passenger display, while the Seltos, like the Kia Sciros and EV9, gets a 5-inch climate control screen between the infotainment screen and the 12.3-inch driver display. The Sierra’s instrumentation panel is slightly smaller, at 10.25-inches. The new Seltos also has a head-up display (HUD), which is available in the Sierra only in its lower trims. Kia gets more adjustment settings for the driver’s seat, but it does not have an air purifier and a cooled glove box. Talking about the audio system, the Sierra’s system, at least on paper, is better with more speakers.

New Kia Seltos vs Tata Sierra: Which SUV to choose?
The prices of the top-spec variants of the new Kia Seltos and Tata Sierra have not been revealed yet and will play a key role in deciding which midsize SUV is the better option. Although both have a long list of features, the Sierra gets a slight advantage with a passenger display, more speakers, a cooled glove box and an air purifier, which makes it look more attractive. The Seltos has more seat adjustment, but even the Sierra doesn’t completely miss it, which doesn’t make much of a difference in everyday use. So, until the prices are revealed, the Sierra has a slight edge over the Seltos on paper.
