Kia Seltos latest update
What is the latest update on the Kia Seltos?
A new Gravity Edition, based on the higher-spec HTX variant of the Seltos, has been launched. This variant is priced from Rs 16.63 lakh to Rs 18.21 lakh (ex-showroom, Pan-India). The Gravity Edition brings in some new design elements and features to the HTK’s offering, including ventilated front seats and a Bose sound system.
What is the price of the Kia Seltos?
The 2024 Kia Seltos is priced from Rs 10.90 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base petrol-manual and goes up to Rs 20.37 lakh for the top-end automatic variants. Prices of the diesel variants start at Rs 12.46 lakh.
How many variants are there in Kia Seltos?
The Kia Seltos has three broad trim levels - Tech Line, GT Line and X-Line. It is offered in eleven variants: HTE, HTK, HTK+, HTX, HTX+, GTX, GTX+ (S), GTX+, X-Line (S), and X-Line. There’s also a new Gravity edition based on the HTX trim that is available with multiple engine-gearbox options.
Which is the most value for money variant?
The Kia Seltos HTX+ offers the best value-for-money in our opinion as it offers many of the premium features and comforts you would expect for the price. It comes with a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone AC, ventilated front seats, power-adjustable driver’s seat and the dual integrated displays. However, if you also prioritise safety technology, you can extend yourself to the GTX variant which adds advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and a 360-degree view camera. Automatic transmission options for the Seltos HTX+ start from around Rs 19.73 lakh.
What features does the 2024 Seltos get?
Feature offerings depend on the variant chosen, but some highlights include:
LED headlamps with LED daylight running lamps (DRLs), Connected LED taillamps, Dual 10.25-inch displays (one for the infotainment system and the other for the instrument cluster), Connected car technology, dual-zone climate control, wireless phone charging, ventilated front seats and ADAS. It also gets an electrically adjustable driver’s seat and a head-up display (X-Line only).
How spacious is it?
The Seltos comfortably seats five adults, with enough legroom and headroom for most passengers. Now, let's talk about luggage space. With 433 litres of cargo space, the Seltos’ boot should be enough for your everyday essentials and weekend getaways. However, the shallow design makes it harder to keep larger suitcases, so it’s better to pack with multiple smaller or medium sized suitcases. The rear seats can be split fold 60:40 for additional luggage configurations, but offered from the mid-spec variants only.
What engine and transmission options are available?
You have three engine choices, each paired with a multiple transmissions to suit your driving style and needs:
-
1.5-litre Naturally Aspirated Petrol (115 PS/144 Nm): This engine comes with a 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT automatic and is ideal for city commutes with occasional highway trips.
-
1.5-litre Turbo-Petrol (160 PS/250 Nm): If you are a driving enthusiast who enjoys driving fast or wants a petrol Seltos that’ll offer better highway performance or performance with a full passenger load, this is the engine option for you. This engine puts out 160PS of power and is offered with the choice of a 6-speed iMT (manual without clutch pedal) and a 7-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT). While this engine might be more fun to drive, keep in mind that it won’t be the most fuel-efficient option.
-
1.5-litre Diesel (116 PS/250 Nm): The diesel engine is often considered the all-rounder for its balance of power and slightly better fuel efficiency on highways. It's available with 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions, as well as a 6-speed iMT.
What’s the mileage of Kia Seltos?
The claimed mileage of the 2024 Seltos varies depending on the engine and transmission you choose. Here's a quick summary:
-
1.5-litre Naturally Aspirated Petrol: 17 kmpl (manual), 17.7 kmpl (CVT)
-
1.5-litre Turbo-Petrol: 17.7 kmpl (iMT), 17.9 kmpl (DCT)
-
1.5-litre Diesel: 20.7 kmpl (iMT), 19.1 kmpl (automatic)
How safe is the Kia Seltos?
Safety features vary by variant, but all variants get 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, Hill Start Assist, Vehicle Stability Control, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and all wheel disc brakes. The higher spec variants also offer Level 2 ADAS safety suite, which include features like adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking and blind spot detection among others). However, the Kia Seltos is yet to be crash tested by Bharat NCAP, so safety ratings are awaited. In its pre-facelift form, it was crash tested by Global NCAP in 2020 where it scored only a 3-star safety rating.
How many colour options are there?
The Seltos comes in eight monotone colours and two dual-tone shades. These include: Clear White, Glacier Pearl White, Glacier Pearl White with black roof, Aurora Black Pearl, Gravity Grey, Sparkling Silver, Intense Red, Intense Red with black roof, Imperial Blue, and Pewter Olive Green. The X-Line variants further get the Xlcusive Matte Graphite finish for the exterior. The Gravity Edition is available in Glacial White Pearl and Aurora Black Pearl colour options.
We especially like:
Pewter Olive, if you subtle and sophisticated looks
Intense Red, if you like sporty road presence
Should you buy the 2024 Seltos?
The Seltos makes for an excellent family car. It offers ample space, a comprehensive set of features including safety features too while also feeling very premium inside. But with prices ranging from Rs 10.90 lakh to Rs 20.35 lakh (ex-showroom), you can consider some of the competition as well, especially if you’re looking for a petrol-powered compact SUV. Rivals like Toyota Hyryder and Maruti Grand Vitara come with a strong hybrid option, which offer better fuel efficiency.
What are my alternatives?
The Kia Seltos competes against strong contenders like the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Grand Vitara, Volkswagen Taigun, Honda Elevate, Skoda Kushaq, MG Astor, Toyota Hyryder, and Citroen C3 Aircross. If you are leaning towards a larger SUV, you can choose the mid-spec variants of the Tata Harrier, MG Hector and Mahindra XUV700, though these may come with fewer features.
