Kia Seltos Overview

The Kia Seltos is one of India's favourite compact SUVs, and the latest one is bigger and more premium. It carries five in a roomy cabin with a long feature list. The upmarket feel is a big part of why it sells so well. It has topped its segment for years on the strength of that mix.

Engine choice is a real strength here. A 1.5 litre petrol suits calm city use, a 1.5 litre turbo petrol adds genuine pace, and a 1.5 litre diesel rewards long drives. The turbo makes 158 bhp, the strongest engine in the range. Gearboxes span a manual, an IVT, an iMT and a DCT. To narrow it down, line up the Seltos grades on equipment.

The cabin is where the money shows. Higher trims add a panoramic sunroof, larger screens and more safety kit. The 447 litre boot is generous, and rear space suits three at a push. Ground clearance of 190 mm copes with rough city roads. Sort the Seltos trims by what they carry to find your level.

Prices run from 10.99 lakh to 21.57 lakh across thirteen trims. That covers plain petrol runabouts and quick turbo flagships alike. Buyers wanting the turbo engine should budget for the upper grades. On-road prices climb once tax and insurance are added.

The Seltos stays a safe, sensible pick for a family first SUV. It blends space, kit and strong engines without asking for a big brand premium. It remains an easy car to recommend across a wide range of buyers. To finish the look, browse the Seltos colour palette.
