The Kia Seltos is among the most awaited cars to be launched this year. The stylish SUV from the Korean manufacturer is an all-new vehicle and will be the first car launched by the Kia in India. It will rival the likes of the Hyundai Creta and Nissan Kicks chiefly, though it will also provide competition to bigger SUVs like the Tata Harrier, Mahindra XUV500 and the MG Hector among others. Kia has officially roped in Tiger Shroff as its brand ambassador and the actor was also featured in the first TVC of Seltos released in India.

Earlier this month, Kia showcased the Seltos at a gala event in Delhi. At the event, three Kia Seltos were on display. One was an Orange with White roof, White with Black roof and a monotone red colour. Now two new colours have been spotted – one is a white body with orange roof while the other is a red body with black roof. Images are credit to Ram Dantuluri from Kia Seltos Club India.

Nice clicks - thanks for sharing. White would have looked great with red roof (little out of box as well), orange is not standing out.
Also the vehicle looks quits small in length visually, not sure if there is enough cabin space, else will turn out like ecosport
Glad to see manual switches for controls as well, unlike Hector, which is not making me comfortable to buy alonwith its sizable lag

I hear the initial set of trainings have been done for dealers (done in Blore I believe). Is there any more info from any members that they can share?

Navnit group has got the dealership; any idea where exactly the Mumbai showrooms for Kia are?

Okay - here goes, some 1st hand info from the dealer that was shared for #kia #seltos.

- Expectation is ~ 18-19 L onroad for top end due to BS6 cost
- No DCT for GTX+, DCT only for GTX
- Looks like the GTX seems to be a VFM variant, depends on final pricing
- Dealer said, Kia DCT is similar to Hyundai Venue & there should not be lag or jerks like in #hector
- As we know pre-booking started for early delivery; cancellation fully refundable
