The base HTE variant is now retailed with five more exterior paint schemes namely Aurora Black Pearl, Gravity Grey, Intense Red, Pewter Olive, and Imperial Blue to the trim. Speaking of the updated Seltos lineup, 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 Dual Pane Panoramic Sunroof.”
The South Korean auto major has said that the inclusion of automatic transmission in the HTK+ grade comes as part of the brand addressing the high demand for ATs ranging from 20-35 per cent. The mid-grade has also seen new additions such as LED front map maps and a cubed LED reading lamp, Aurora Black Pearl exterior shade and a leather-wrapped D-cut steering wheel with the Seltos logo. The HTK+ and HTK now get 180 W fast charger as standard.
With no performance changes, the 2024 Kia Seltos derives power from a 1.5L NA petrol, a 1.5L turbo diesel and a 1.5L turbo petrol engine with multiple gearbox choices.
