Korean carmaker Kia India has launched the 2024 version of its bestseller Kia-Seltos with an updated combination of engine and transmission and enhanced features across the trim line.

The newly launched Seltos now boasts 26 trims with the introduction of two new variants: the Petrol G1.5 HTK+ IVT and the Diesel 1.5L CRDi VGT HTK+ 6AT. Among the updates, Kia’s most popular mid variant, HTK+, receives long-awaited premium additions such as a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, drive and traction control modes, paddle shifters, and Star Map LED-connected tail lamps, among others.

Additionally, the HTK variant of Kia Seltos sees improvements including Star Map LED DRLs, Smart Key with push button start/stop and remote engine start/stop, and Star Map LED-connected Tail Lamps.

Furthermore, the top Seltos variants – starting from HTX onwards – now come equipped with “All Doors Power Window Auto Up/Down with Safety” along with the Voice Command feature in the refreshed version. The entry variant of the Seltos-HTE is now available with five more body colours: Aurora Black Pearl, Gravity Grey, Intense Red, Pewter Olive, and Imperial Blue to the trim. 

The refreshed Seltos lineup now begins from 10.89 lakhs onwards, with the revised prices set to take effect from April 1, 2024.

Commenting on the new launch, Myung-sik Sohn, Chief Sales and Business Officer, Kia India, said: “India’s affection for the Seltos is evident, and our goal is to continually enhance it for our discerning new-age customers. In the refreshed 2024 Seltos, we have made our most popular variant – HTK+ even more attractive with additions of top-end premium features like a dual-pane panoramic sunroof”.

“Recognising a significant demand for automatic transmission in the HTK+, ranging from 20–35%, we’ve introduced IVT and 6AT transmissions, amplifying Seltos overall appeal. Moreover, the strategic optimisation of other variants by integrating new premium features will definitely help us in aiding sales and growing the segment further,” he added.
