Kia Seltos Expands Lineup with Value-Packed Automatic Variants, Counters Cost Escalation
In a bid to offer enhanced accessibility and convenience to its customers, Kia India has unveiled two new automatic variants for its popular Seltos SUV range. Priced competitively at Rs. 15.40 lakh for the petrol CVT and Rs. 16.90 lakh for the diesel AT (both prices ex-showroom), these additions - the HTK+ petrol CVT and HTK+ diesel AT - promise to deliver a seamless driving experience coupled with a host of advanced features.
Affordable Automatic Options
The latest additions to the Seltos lineup, the HTK+ petrol CVT and HTK+ diesel AT variants, represent Kia's commitment to providing value-driven options to its discerning customers. Positioned as the most affordable automatic variants in the Seltos range, these models undercut their predecessors - the HTX petrol automatic and diesel automatic - by significant margins of Rs. 1.20 lakh and Rs. 1.30 lakh respectively. This strategic move by Kia aims to widen the accessibility of automatic transmissions, catering to a broader spectrum of buyers.
Power-packed Performance
Both the petrol and diesel automatic variants boast impressive performance capabilities. The HTK+ petrol CVT is equipped with a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol engine generating 114 bhp of power and 144 Nm of torque.
On the other hand, the HTK+ diesel AT variant is powered by a robust 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder, turbocharged diesel engine delivering 115 hp and 250 Nm of torque. These powertrains ensure a dynamic and exhilarating driving experience across varied terrains and driving conditions.
Feature-rich Offerings
Kia's new automatic variants come loaded with an array of features aimed at enhancing comfort, convenience, and connectivity. From an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility to smart key with engine start-stop button, automatic climate control, LED headlights with DRLs, and steering-mounted controls, these models offer a premium driving experience without compromising on essential functionalities.
Additionally, features such as rear defogger, rear wiper and washer, and cruise control further accentuate the practicality and utility of the Seltos SUV.
Price Hike Announcement
In tandem with the introduction of these new variants, Kia also announced a price hike of up to three per cent across its model range, effective from April 2024.
This marks the first price increase by the company this year, attributing it to the escalation in commodity prices and supply chain-related inputs. Despite the price adjustment, Kia remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering quality vehicles that meet the evolving needs and preferences of its customers.
With the launch of the HTK+ petrol CVT and HTK+ diesel AT variants, Kia Seltos continues to redefine the benchmarks in the compact SUV segment. Offering a compelling combination of performance, features, and affordability, these new additions reinforce Kia's position as a frontrunner in the Indian automotive market.
As customers gear up to experience the enhanced driving pleasure and convenience offered by these automatic variants, Kia remains dedicated to driving innovation and excellence across its product portfolio.
