Kia Seltos FAQs

The Seltos offers a panoramic sunroof from the HTK (O) trim onwards.

The Kia Seltos is for customers looking for a mid-size SUV that has a great balance of style features, space and comfort. A comfortable ride and a diverse range of powertrains are reasons why you should consider the Seltos.
 

For most buyers whose driving is mostly within the city, the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, especially with the CVT, is a good choice. For those looking to do occasional highway runs, along with a spirited driving experience, the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine with the DCT is the one to go for. The 1.5-litre diesel, with the automatic gearbox, is for customers who have high monthly usage. 

The Seltos’ ride quality is comfortable as its suspension is tuned towards comfort, so it handles rough roads really well. Body control is well maintained, even at high speeds. Stability at high speeds is also good, and it maintains composure even on less-than-perfect surfaces.

Seltos' new K3 platform has enabled a longer wheelbase, leading to a spacious back seat experience. The cabin is also decent, and three average-sized adults can sit with their shoulders touching but not overlapping. You can adjust the seatback angle, and the seatbase padding is comfortable, but taller folks will find the seatbase short. Lower back lumbar support also feels a bit excessive.
 

The X-factor of the Kia Seltos is its ride and handling balance, a lengthy equipment list and spacious back seat experience.

With a starting price of Rs 11.00 lakh, the Seltos starting price slots in the middle of its rivals. At the top-end, it's among the most expensive mid-size SUVs in its class.
