The Kia Seltos and Hyundai Kona will have similar driving characteristics given that they are in the same class and price point ... The important thing to consider would be distributor / dealer support ...

Looks damn good!

Kia PH is bringing in the segment-busting Seltos subcompact SUV | VISOR PH

But it uses the 7-speed dual clutch transmission (like the 2016 Hyundai Tucson, 216 Hyundai Tucson No Acceleration From Stop: 49 Complaints). Anyone here knows if Kia/Hyundai's dual clutch transmission is reliable and not problematic like those from Ford Fiesta/Ecosport?

We probably wont get that variant with DCT.

Baka parang Kona lang with isang variant lang (base) without touch screen pa haha.

Wag naman Ayala! Sobrang pogi nito. Wanna trade my Civic for this haha.

Launched na pala. 1.1m and 1.2m for base seems about right. Could have capitalized on introductory price of less than a million to attract more.
