Our verdict

These two split the decision: the Tata Nexon is रु 35,91,000 cheaper ex-showroom (59.9%), while the Kia Seltos is ahead on boot space and wheelbase — so the answer depends on which of those you are buying for.

Choose the Kia Seltos if
  • you regularly carry family luggage or cargo
  • rear-seat legroom matters to you

Measured: 65 litres more boot space; 192 mm more wheelbase.

Choose the Tata Nexon if
  • the ex-showroom price is your binding constraint
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live
  • you want a dealer close enough to visit and negotiate at

Measured: 19 more service centres in Nepal (49 vs 30); 167 more showrooms in Nepal (210 vs 43).

Every figure in this verdict is computed from the table below — the same ex-showroom prices, variant specifications and Nepal service network the page publishes. Nothing here is an estimate, and where a figure is missing on one side the axis is left out rather than guessed.
