In the first attempt, you can see the Seltos jumping the line and that’s why it gets an early start. However, interestingly, it manages to hold on to the lead for a nice couple of seconds.

In the second one, Kia Seltos again has a lead for a couple of seconds. This time, Audi A6 manages to overtake the SUV earlier than the first attempt. One reason for the win of Audi is that it is more powerful with its 2.0 Litre turbo-diesel engine. Seltos, on the other hand, gets a humble 1.5 Litre turbo diesel engine.
First of all, Seltos offers generous amounts of low-end torque and that’s why an early lead. Also, the SUV comes paired to a manual gearbox whereas the A6 comes with an automatic gearbox.
