HTK(O)
The HTK(O) trim includes every feature in the HTE(O) trim. Additionally, it has cruise control, a panoramic sunroof, a mood lamp, a smart key with motion detection, and more. On the exterior, it features upgraded 16-inch alloy wheels, a roof rail, a rear wiper and washer and a defogger. Like the Seltos HTE(O), the HTK(O) is only available with a manual gearbox.
HTK+(O)
The HTK+(O) trim sits in the upper echelons of the Seltos range. It features 17-inch alloy wheels, sequential LED indicators in the headlights, LED fog lamps, auto-fold rearview mirrors, a gloss black grille and a chrome beltline. Inside, it offers an electronic handbrake (only for IVT variants), parcel tray, artificial leather-upholstered gear knob, and more. Depending on the engine, the HTK+(O) trim is available in manual, IVT and torque converter transmissions.
Kia offers a choice of three engines for the Seltos; one is a diesel, and two are petrol. The 1.5-litre turbo-diesel mill makes 116hp and 250Nm of torque, mated to either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed torque converter auto gearbox. Then, there’s the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, making 115hp and 144Nm; it can be had with a 6-speed manual or a CVT transmission. The punchier 1.5-litre turbo-petrol unit is good for 160hp and 253Nm and comes with a 6-speed clutchless manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
