General information and overview

The Kia Seltos GTX iVT stands out in India with its bold styling, muscular stance, and 18-inch alloys on 215/55 tyres, powered by a refined 1.5L Smartstream G1.5 petrol engine (115PS/144Nm) mated to an IVT for effortless driving across modes. I value its spacious cabin seating five comfortably, with 433L boot space, dual-zone AC, and high-end features like a 12.3-inch digital cluster, OTA updates, wireless charging, and ADAS Level 2 including blind-spot monitoring. Safety shines with 6 airbags, ESC, and a 5-star potential chassis tuned for Indian roads, absorbing bumps better than before while maintaining stability up to 140kmph. Tech includes a panoramic sunroof, paddle shifters, and seamless infotainment, making it ideal for families. Performance feels lively for overtakes, with smooth low-end torque suiting daily commutes, though suspension firmness from larger wheels is noticeable over rough patches. Overall, it's a well-rounded SUV excelling in features, comfort, and drive dynamics for ₹20 lakh buyers.

Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

I find the Kia Seltos GTX iVT a compelling choice in India's compact SUV segment, blending sharp styling, advanced tech, and refined performance that stands out on crowded city roads and highways alike. With its 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol engine paired to the smooth iVT transmission, it delivers responsive acceleration for effortless overtakes, hitting stable speeds up to 140kmph without strain, while the suspension handles potholes decently despite the 18-inch wheels adding a touch of firmness. The cabin impresses with a 12.3-inch dual-screen setup, Level 2 ADAS including smart cruise control and blind view monitor, six airbags, 360-degree camera, and OTA updates, making it tech-forward and safe for family use. Real-world driving reveals seamless gear shifts, comfortable high-speed stability, and premium touches like integrated memory seats, though pedal feel could be sharper. At around ₹20 lakh, it offers strong value over rivals like the Taigun, with nimble handling and feature richness that make daily commutes and weekend getaways enjoyable. I recommend it for buyers prioritizing a balanced, loaded package without turbo complexity, though enthusiasts might miss extra punch—overall, it's a smart buy that justifies the investment through reliability and appeal.

Latest Updates

Recent news and announcements

I've been driving the Kia Seltos GTX iVT extensively across Indian roads, and this 2025 facelift variant with its 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine paired to the intelligent variable transmission truly shines in urban chaos and highway cruises. The engine delivers smooth 113 bhp and 144 Nm, offering relaxed city commuting with around 10-12 kmpl in traffic and up to 17 kmpl on open stretches, making it efficient post-GST adjustments that sweetened the deal. Acceleration feels adequate post-100 kmph without stressing the powertrain, and the iVT shifts seamlessly for effortless overtaking, though it's no turbo thrill-seeker like the GTX Plus DCT. Ride quality is plush over most pothole-ridden surfaces, absorbing bumps well for family hauls, but it can thud harshly on sharp speed breakers with some NVH creep at higher speeds. The cabin packs Level 2 ADAS with 21 features including smart cruise control, a 360-degree camera, and dual 12.3-inch screens that get OTA updates, plus ventilated seats and a Bose system in top trims—though mid-variants miss minor bits like passenger seat height adjust. Handling has a touch of float but stays planted at 140 kmph, with precise steering and stable dynamics. At around 18-20 lakhs on-road, it's a value-packed midsize SUV blending tech, comfort, and reliability that keeps me recommending it over rivals for daily Indian drives.

Price

Pricing details and changes

In India, the Kia Seltos GTX iVT ex-showroom price hovers around ₹18.5-19.5 lakh depending on the city and ongoing offers, positioning it as a premium mid-variant that's loaded yet accessible in the ₹20 lakh SUV bracket. On-road pricing pushes it to approximately ₹21-22.5 lakh in major metros like Delhi or Mumbai, factoring in 10-12% road tax, insurance around ₹50,000-60,000, RTO registration, and fastag fees; for instance, expect Delhi on-road at ₹21.8 lakh with comprehensive insurance covering third-party and own damage. I see this as excellent value since it bundles high-end features like ADAS Level 2, 12.3-inch screens, and Bose audio without jumping to top-trim premiums, making it cheaper post-GST tweaks compared to turbo GTX+ variants at ₹20 lakh ex-showroom. Running costs stay reasonable with Kia's 3-year/unlimited km warranty extendable to 7 years, though service intervals every 10,000km can add ₹8,000-12,000 annually. Compared to rivals, the pricing sweet spot helps budget-conscious buyers get segment-leading tech and safety without compromise, aiding a confident purchase decision in a competitive market.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

I observe the Seltos GTX iVT delivers 10-12kmpl in Indian city traffic and 15-17kmpl on highways with the 1.5L petrol IVT, realistic for mixed use and better than turbo rivals in efficiency. Running costs stay low at ₹8-10 per km on petrol, aiding buying decisions for urban commuters prioritizing balance over outright economy.
