Checked out Elevate at a showroom to end our Seltos vs Elevate dilemma

Kia Seltos has a very thin door frame around the window area with thin welding to hold the frame together - the Honda Elevate felt safer to us.

BHPian reppy recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Checked out the Elevate again at Ring Road Honda with wifey to make some sense out of our dilemma of Seltos vs Elevate:

• The driver-side seat due to height adjustment is OK - some extra legroom can be freed by reducing the driver-side seat height, but the front passenger seat definitely lacks legroom and sorely misses height adjustment! The legs rest on a steep incline and felt very uncomfortable - not the place to sit for me or my tall elder son but my wife thought it was manageable.
• The rear seats under thigh support was not enough for my 5'8" frame but no complaints from my 5'1" wife - she even loved the rear inclined floor board which was just right for her but made my legs incline up with under thigh support reducing due to this. On the plus side, the front passenger seat can move WAY ahead, opening up massive legroom for taller occupants to sit comfortably - I had plenty of legroom that way if it's just me and the driver travelling.
• Thankfully, someone forced the sales rep to turn on the AC while I was in the car. The AC throw and air volume was superb (I was sitting in the rear seat!) and this was a great plus point for us!
• Another plus - the steel on the doors felt solid and I pointed out to my wife that these doors are 'formed' at the window frame area. The Seltos has a very thin door frame around the window area with a thin welding to hold the frame together - the Elevate felt safer to us and this was a huge plus point
• Considering the above points and noting that our driver will drive the car 90% of the time and usage would be mostly by the wife and kids, we booked the ZX CVT variant.
