Latest Additions Aim to Cater to Diverse Consumer Preferences in the Mid-Size SUV Segment
Kia India has announced the introduction of two new variants to its popular Seltos lineup, catering to the increasing demand for automatic transmission options in the mid-size SUV segment. With the addition of the HTK+ petrol CVT and HTK+ diesel AT variants, Kia aims to provide customers with greater accessibility to advanced features and driving convenience at competitive price points.
Enhanced Affordability and Accessibility
Priced at Rs. 15.40 lakh and Rs. 16.90 lakh (ex-showroom) respectively, the new Seltos variants offer an attractive proposition for consumers seeking automatic transmission options without compromising on affordability. Positioned as entry-level offerings in their respective automatic ranges, the HTK+ petrol CVT and diesel AT variants provide a compelling combination of performance, features, and value.
Feature Highlights
Equipped with a range of premium features, the Seltos HTK+ variants ensure a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience for occupants. From LED DRLs and 16-inch alloy wheels to smart key with engine start-stop button and automatic climate control, these variants offer convenience and sophistication on every journey. Other notable features include cruise control, electrically folding ORVMs, steering-mounted controls, and an eight-inch touchscreen system with wireless phone projection.
Differentiating Factors
While the HTK+ variants of the Seltos provide an impressive array of features, they do miss out on certain amenities available in higher trims such as panoramic sunroof, LED headlamps, fog lights, and taillights, as well as 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and a premium interior theme. However, Kia ensures that essential features like dual-zone climate control, ambient lighting, paddle shifters, and various driving modes are retained to enhance the overall driving experience.
Continued Evolution with Carens
In addition to the Seltos updates, Kia has also made significant enhancements to its Carens model, including changes in the transmission department and the introduction of new variants. Further details regarding these updates are available on Kia’s official website, reflecting the brand’s commitment to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.
