In a surprising turn of events, Kia India has announced a significant update for its popular mid-size SUV, the Seltos. This breaking news comes as the company revises the feature list, impacting select variants and even introducing a price cut. Let’s delve into the details of this unexpected development.
Kia India recently revealed that all variants from HTX and above, excluding the X-Line, will no longer feature one-touch up/down functions for all power windows. This alteration has led to a notable price reduction, marking a pivotal moment for Seltos enthusiasts.
With this update, only the X-Line variant of the Seltos retains the one-touch up/down function for all power windows, while other variants now have it exclusively for the driver seat. This adjustment aims to enhance the driving experience while streamlining the feature distribution across different trims.
In addition to the feature revision, Kia India has promptly revised the prices for select variants of the Seltos, effective immediately. The mid-size SUV witnesses a downward price revision for the first time, with a notable decrease of Rs. 2,000. Let’s explore which variants are affected and what this means for potential buyers.
The select variants that have experienced a uniform price drop of Rs. 2,000 include the 1.5 petrol MT HTX, 1.5 turbo-petrol iMT HTX+, 1.5 turbo-petrol DCT GTX+(S), 1.5-litre turbo-petrol DCT GTX+, 1.5-litre diesel iMT HTX+, and the 1.5-litre diesel AT GTX+(S). It’s important to note that the prices of all other variants remain unchanged.
The Kia Seltos continues to be a versatile choice for consumers, offering three powertrain options: a 1.5-litre NA petrol motor, a 1.5-litre diesel mill, and a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine. With a palette of 11 colors and seven variants, customers have a wide range of choices to suit their preferences.
The model’s pricing starts at Rs. 10.90 lakh for the entry-level 1.5-litre petrol MT HTE variant, reaching up to Rs. 20.30 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom) for the top-end 1.5-litre diesel AT X-Line variant. This adjustment not only enhances the overall appeal of the Seltos but also provides customers with even more value for their investment.
As Kia India continues to innovate and adapt to market demands, these updates reflect the brand’s commitment to delivering a compelling and competitive product in the dynamic mid-size SUV segment.
