Kia Seltos

About this car

The Kia Seltos, launched in India in 2019, quickly gained popularity in the compact SUV segment due to its stylish design and comprehensive feature set. The 2024 version of the Seltos continues to build on this strong foundation with significant updates.

The 2024 Seltos offers three main powertrain options: a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine, a 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine, and a 1.5-liter diesel engine. The newly introduced 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine delivers 160 hp, replacing the older 1.4-liter unit, and offers a more powerful driving experience with a 7-speed DCT or a 6-speed iMT gearbox. The 1.5-liter diesel engine, known for its refinement and fuel efficiency, is paired with a 6-speed torque converter or manual transmission options.

The facelifted Seltos features ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), integrating 17 safety functions like forward collision warning, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control. These improvements are complemented by a suite of luxury features such as a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree camera, ventilated seats, and a Bose sound system. The SUV’s updated suspension offers a balanced ride, with stiffened front damping for better handling and softer rear damping for comfort, making it well-suited for both city and highway driving.

Prices for the 2024 Kia Seltos range from approximately ₹10.90 lakh to ₹20.45 lakh, making it competitive with other compact SUVs like the Hyundai Creta and Maruti Grand Vitara. The Seltos’ blend of technology, comfort, and varied engine choices continues to make it a strong contender in its segment.
