Here’s a detailed look at what each new variant offers.
HTE(O): The Most Affordable New Variant
The HTE(O) variant is the entry-level addition to the Seltos lineup and is priced at ₹11.13 lakh.

Steering-mounted controls enhance driver convenience, while a connected tail lamp and halogen projector headlamps improve visibility. Other notable features include LED daytime running lights (DRLs), a rearview mirror, auto-control headlamps, and a digital instrument cluster with a 4.2-inch TFT colour display. Illuminated power windows for all four doors further enhance comfort and functionality.
HTK(O): Mid-Level Variant with Enhanced Comfort
Positioned above the HTE(O), the HTK(O) trim is priced at ₹12.99 lakh and brings several premium additions. A major highlight is the panoramic sunroof, a feature that enhances the sense of space inside the cabin. The exterior benefits from stylish 16-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, and a rear wiper with a washer and defogger. Inside, the variant introduces a mood lighting system that syncs with the car’s audio system, creating an immersive experience. It also gets cruise control for effortless highway driving, illuminated power windows for added convenience, and a smart key with a motion sensor for better accessibility.
HTK+(O): Top-Tier Variant with Premium Features
The HTK+(O) is the most feature-rich among the new variants and starts at ₹14.39 lakh.
