Nissan Tekton vs Hyundai Creta vs Kia Seltos: The New Turbo Challenger, By the Numbers
Aug 12, 2026The Spec'd take
Why it stands out
- 212 mm ground clearance is among the highest in the midsize SUV segment, well ahead of most direct rivals
- 163 PS/280 Nm 1.3-litre turbo-petrol with a 6-speed DCT is a genuinely strong powertrain option for the class
- 17+ ADAS features including adaptive cruise control and a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating bring real safety credibility at this price
Worth knowing
- Base 1.0-litre T160 engine is limited to a manual gearbox only, no automatic option at entry-level price points
- Brand-new nameplate with no resale-value track record yet in a segment dominated by established players like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos
