With the festive season on the shores, carmakers have started launching special editions of their vehicles. One such launch is the newly introduced Hyundai Creta Adventure Edition, which goes against the Kia Seltos X Line. Both these models carry some visual enhancements and added features over their standard versions. Here, we have put them together to see how they stack up against each other.

Position in Line-up

Starting with the 2023 Kia Seltos X Line, it is the range-topping variant in the Korean SUV’s lineup. On the other hand, the all-new Hyundai Creta Adventure Edition is based on the standard model's SX and SX (O) petrol variants.

For beginners, the all-new Seltos X Line is draped in Xclusive Matte Graphite body shade, with chrome elements in other variants blacked out for added appeal, save for the chrome trim under the window sill. Design-wise, it looks similar to the GT Line. Its cabin is also identical to other variants, except for the Sage Green inserts, Orange stitchings on the steering and Sage Green leather upholstery.

Speaking of the 2023 Hyundai Creta Adventure Edition, it receives a new Range Khaki green exterior body shade, offered with multiple other colour options, including Atlas White, Titan Grey, and Abyss Black. Additionally, there are the sportier-looking red brake callipers and a blacked-out finish for the grille, wing mirrors and roof, giving it a stealthier look. Inside, it gets an all-black theme with contrasting Sage Green inserts on the AC vents and upholstery. Furthermore, the “ADVENTURE” badging can be seen on the floor mats and seat cushions.
