Diesel Automatic DPF Concerns

Hey folks,

I’m seriously considering the Kia Seltos Diesel Automatic, but I’ve been reading about DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) issues and wanted some real-world advice.

Here’s my usage pattern:

•	About 3 days a week: \~5 km city drive (Pune traffic, \~20 mins each time)

•	Around 4 times a month: \~250 km highway trips (basically 2 round trips every alternate weekend)

Mileage is very important to me — I honestly can’t live with single-digit mileage in city driving.

My concerns:

•	Will my short city runs cause DPF clogging issues?

Would really appreciate inputs from owners, especially those with similar usage patterns 🙏
