Kia Seltos latest updates

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.

Kia Seltos expert review

CarDekho Experts
Kia Seltos is now more complete than ever. It looks better, drives better and the feature list is not only the best in the segment, but also for the next one. The only question that remains now is of the crash test rating.

overview

2023 Kia Seltos

When it comes to our raised expectations from a 20 lakh rupee SUV, the biggest culprit is the Kia Seltos. It was launched with segment-best features, looks and quality. And yes, while the three-star GNCAP safety rating was less than ideal, it retained its popularity with everything else it had to offer. With this facelift, this formula is further getting improved with better features, more power and aggressive looks. But surely there are a few shortcomings in this car, right? Let's hunt for them in this review.

Exterior

2023 Kia Seltos Front

This Kia Seltos facelift doesn't look a lot different, but it is surely better looking than before. And this is made possible with its new grille and bumpers. Grille which is now bigger and more rounded and bumpers which are sportier and more aggressive than before. The highlight, though, is certainly the lighting setup. You get more detailed LED DRLs which extend inside the grill and then comes the full LED headlamps and fog lamps too. And, finally, dynamic turn indicators. This whole lighting setup is not only best in this segment but also outperforms the next segment. 

Kia Seltos Profile

There is not much change in the side profile. The 18-inch wheels were earlier exclusive to the X-Line, but now are also available in the GT-Line trim. Apart from this the subtle chrome touches, dual-tone paint and roof rails help it look a little more premium. 

The Seltos looks good from the rear as well. There is a muscle in the design and a spoiler on top which keeps things interesting. And if you look at it with the overall proportions, then the design of this car looks very complete. On top of that, the GT Line and X Line variants, along with the turbo petrol engine, get dual-tip exhausts which look very sporty and also add a good bass to the sound. 

Kia Seltos Tailliights

But the highlight here is again the lighting setup. You get LED connected tail lamps and below that you get dynamic turn indicators. Then comes the LED brake lights and finally LED reverse lights. Whether you want to take this car to the office or to a party, you will enjoy driving it because it becomes an element to show off.

Interior

Kia Seltos Interior

The dashboard layout of the Seltos now looks more sophisticated and mature than before. The touchscreen now sits a little lower than before because the touch controls, which were under the display, have been removed. This has made the dash feel lower and the visibility has been improved. Then comes the fit, finish and quality. The quality of the materials in this cabin is very good. Be it the steering leather wrap, tactile feel of the buttons or the soft-touch materials on the dashboard, door pads and the elbow rests, all these things together elevate the cabin experience and makes the interiors of the new Seltos, if not the best, then one of the best in the segment. 

Features

Kia Seltos features

The Seltos never really lacked any key features. But just to be safe, Kia has added a ton more. Now, you additionally get a large digital instrument cluster, automatic rain-sensing wipers, dual-zone climate control, Type C charging ports, electronic parking brake, integrated controls for the air purifier, cruise control with speed limiter, all power windows auto up/down and illuminated. Apart from this, you also get a crowd favourite: panoramic sunroof. 

Kia Seltos Speaker

Apart from this, power driver seat, seat ventilation, auto headlamps, Bose's 8-speaker sound system, sound mood lighting, 360-degree cameras, wireless charger, and the reach and tilt of the steering wheel is still the same as it used to be. 

Kia Seltos Center Console

What's missing? Well, there are a lot of buttons in the dual-zone climate control so it looks a bit dated, despite improving functionality. Then, the infotainment doesn't get wireless Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, and finally, the passenger seat doesn't get height adjustment. That's it. 

Cabin Practicality

Kia Seltos dashboard

This aspect is also sorted. You can easily store a 1-litre bottle in all the door pockets along with other items like a cleaning cloth. In the middle, you get a dedicated phone charging tray with cooling, and another big open storage in the centre console to store knick-knacks. However, the latter does not get a rubber mat and hence things do rattle around a bit. 

After this, you get two cup holders in the centre. You can remove the partition and make it a big storage and even close the new tambor door to keep a phone on top. A deep pocket is also given to keep the keys on the side. The sunglass holder gets a nice soft padding and the storage under the armrest is also plenty. And finally, while the glovebox is of a good size, it lacks cooling.

Rear Seat Experience

Kia Seltos Rear seat

While the Seltos is pushing the boundaries in all other departments, the rear seat experience remains mediocre. Yes, there is no shortage of space here and you can sit comfortably with your legs stretched. Knee and shoulder room is also plenty but the headroom is a bit compromised thanks to the panoramic sunroof. And the comfort could have been better. The seat base is a bit short, which leaves you wanting more under-thigh support. And while the backrest has two reclining settings, better contouring would have helped with support. 

That said, the features are good though. You get privacy curtains, two Type-C ports and a phone holder, armrests with 2 cup holders, and the good thing is that the height of the armrest and the door armrest are the same so you feel more comfortable. Another good thing is that you have adjustable headrests and 3-point seatbelts for all 3 passengers. 

Safety

2023 Kia Seltos

The pre-facelift Seltos got a 3-star safety rating in Global NCAP. Now, Kia claims that they have made the Seltos stronger for a better score. Along with this, the safety features include 6 airbags, all-wheel disc brakes, front and rear parking sensors, 3-point seatbelts for all passengers and the remaining electronic aids are still there. But, we eagerly await the new crash test score. 

Boot Space

Kia Seltos Boot space

On paper, the Seltos offers 433 litres of space. But in reality, the practicality is compromised thanks to the shallow boot floor. Hence, keeping only one large suitcase is possible, and you cannot stack anything over it. After keeping a big suitcase, there is not much space left on the side either. If you carry small suitcases or small bags only, though, they will fit easily because the boot floor is long and wide. Another good thing is that the rear seats split in 60:40 and you can fold them and create a flat floor which is ideal to carry larger articles. 

Performance

Kia Seltos Engine

With the Seltos you still get a 1.5 litre petrol and diesel engine. However, the new 1.5 litre turbo petrol engine is more powerful than the old 1.4 turbo petrol and produces 160 horsepower. Like the number suggests, this engine is exciting to drive. Its speed build up is very smooth and rapid, which makes overtakes a breeze. 

And the best part is that this engine has a dual nature. If you want to commute comfortably in this, this engine with its linear power delivery will feel effortless and when you want to go fast, just push the right foot harder and it accelerates with a purpose. The claimed 0-100kmph time is 8.9s, which will make this the quickest SUV in the segment. The DCT transmission is well tuned to suite this dual-nature as well.

Kia Seltos

The diesel engine is still the same -- laid back and easy to drive. It is refined too but the performance is not as exciting as the turbo petrol. However, if you are looking to simply cruise and commute, it feels effortless and gives good efficiency as well. 

But if you don't care much about excitement and want to drive easily in the city and cruise on the highway, then you should take that 1.5 petrol with CVT transmission. We have driven this powertrain in many cars and it is simply the best option for a laid back driving experience. 

Ride and Handling

Kia Seltos

Over time, Kia has improved the ride quality of the Seltos. The suspension was very stiff when it was first introduced, which made it difficult to drive in the city. But that has now been completely changed. In fact, even with the 18-inch wheels, the ride quality is now sophisticated and cushiony. Going over speed breakers and potholes no longer makes you brace for impact and the suspension keeps you well cushioned. Yes, the deeper bumps will be felt but they too don’t make you feel uncomfortable. The 17-inch wheels will definitely increase the cushion factor but you no longer will have to think twice about taking the GT-Line or the X-Line.

Variants

Kia Seltos badge

The Kia Seltos comes with 18 different variants and powertrain combinations. Don't worry, a Variants Explained video will soon be live on CarDekho to help you. As of now, all you need to understand is that it comes in 3 different trims: Tech-Line, GT-Line and X-Line. Tech-Line looks a bit sober from the front and gets up to 17 inches wheels. Inside, you get a black interior with fabric seats, beige and black interior with leatherette seats or brown interior with leatherette seats depending on the variant you buy. 

GT-Line is available in a single variant and with it you get a different and more aggressive grille and bumper. The wheels are also 18-inches and inside, it has an all-black theme with black and white leatherette seat upholstery. 

X-line is also a single variant and it has a matte paint finish. Outside, it has GT-Like looks but with some blacked out elements. Inside, it has black interiors with green inserts and a green leatherette seat upholstery.

Verdict

Kia Seltos

The Seltos is doing the same thing it did back in 2019, which is spoiling us. This time around, it looks better, drives better and the feature list is not only the best in this segment, but also for the next one. And all this at a price point that easily justifies its value. Now there is only one question left: its crash test rating. But even if it gets just 4 stars, then you don't have to think twice about buying it.

    Mileage Is Superb
    I have been using Kia Seltos Automatic Diesel version since last 10 months. I am fully satisfied with this car. I do travel around 600 kms highway per week,self drive. So i can give you a real insight about the car on highway. Mileage: most of time more than 20, sometimes it goes to 24. Comfort: Average and due to light weight, sometimes you can feel all the patholes on the road. Smoothness: very smooth and driving this car is real fun. Maintenance: it is little expensive than my previous car Honda city Diesel SV.
