Kia has expanded its Seltos SUV lineup with the introduction of two new automatic variants, making the automatic transmission more accessible to a broader audience. The newly launched Seltos HTK+ petrol-CVT is priced at Rs 15.40 lakh, while the Seltos HTK+ diesel-AT is available at Rs 16.90 lakh (ex-showroom). These additions aim to provide more options for customers seeking the convenience of an automatic gearbox.
Enhanced Features in HTK+ Trim
The HTK+ trim, which is among the most popular choices for Seltos buyers, now comes equipped with several new features. Notably, it includes a panoramic sunroof, drive and traction modes, paddle shifters, and LED connected tail lamps. The interior also gets an upgrade with LED front map lamps, interior LED reading lamps, and a leatherette-wrapped steering wheel. Additionally, a new exterior color, Aurora Black Pearl, has been added to the palette.
Updates Across Other Trims
Kia has also made feature updates across other trims of the Seltos. The top-end HTX, HTX+, GT Line, and X Line trims now feature an auto up/down function for all four windows. The HTK trim has been enhanced with LED DRLs, keyless entry, push-button start/stop, remote engine start/stop, and LED connected tail lamps. The base HTE trim has been expanded to include five additional exterior color options: Aurora Black Pearl, Gravity Grey, Intense Red, Pewter Olive, and Imperial Blue.
Pricing and Competition
With prices ranging from Rs 10.90 lakh to Rs 20.35 lakh (ex-showroom), the Kia Seltos continues to be a competitive player in the compact SUV segment. It rivals other popular models such as the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Grand Vitara, and Skoda Kushaq.
The introduction of new automatic variants and feature updates across the Kia Seltos lineup demonstrates the brand's commitment to offering a diverse range of options to meet the evolving preferences of customers. With these enhancements, the Seltos is poised to maintain its strong position in the Indian automotive market.
