  • The Kia Seltos is currently the only diesel SUV to come with a semi-automatic gearbox. Basically it's a clutch-less manual vehicle which means you get the driving involvement of a proper manual car without having to move your left leg in traffic. Do you like the sound of it?
    Venkat has driven the Seltos iMT extensively to tell you how well this unique technology works with a diesel engine!

    The Kia Seltos is truly one of its kind with this diesel/iMT powertrain. What are your thoughts?

      I owe one. Well packed diesel car for city driving. Mentioned mailage figures are true for city driving. You will love this car if you stop hating diesel. For no reason!

    Sir, Why were you using the left leg for breaking (in the slope area), is it only for hills or is it your driving behavior ?

    Is there any real time delay we experienced while shifting gears and does iMT decreases the milage campared to Manual in Diesel,

    • @CarWale
      @CarWale  Před rokem

      Experienced drivers will certainly not be able to shift gears in the iMT as fast as they would be able to in an equivalent MT. But the delay is not noticeable if you drive sedately.
      We have not tested the Seltos Diesel MT after the engines were made BS6 Phase 2 compliant so we do not have representative data right now. Will update as soon as we do.

    What about reliability of this transmission?? In long run like 5 years downline.

    • @CarWale
      @CarWale  Před 10 měsíci +1

      The iMT system is quite simple, chances of failures are very low. We haven't heard of any reliability issues with the gearbox

    though it might be easier but a manual transmission is not replacable.
    kia is not providing manual transmission in diesel seltos, don't.know why??

    • @CarWale
      @CarWale  Před rokem

      Most probably because the company does not see as much demand for the diesel-MT combo for the Seltos from customers. The iMT offers more convenience without robbing too much away in terms of the feeling of control
