The entry price for the GT Line turbo-petrol variants has gone up by Rs 1.75 lakh

New Seltos variant lineup no longer features the GTK and GTX automatic variant options.
Petrol variants get pricier by up to Rs 25,000, diesel variants by up to Rs 30,000.
Prices for the entry-spec and top-spec variants remain unchanged.
The Kia Seltos now offers more features from lower variants.
It also adds new features like voice prompts, smartwatch connectivity and remote engine start from the key fob, plus a new colour option.

Kia has reshuffled the Seltos’ variant list and added more features to the equipment list for 2020. While the prices of the entry-level and the top-spec variant remain unchanged, the updated variant list makes its sportier turbo-petrol engine option far more expensive than before. Here are the new prices (ex-showroom Delhi):

Kia offers the Seltos with two petrol engines - a 1.5-litre unit and 1.4-litre turbocharged unit, both mated to a 6-speed manual. Both get their own automatic options.
With the GTK variant discontinued, the most affordable 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine option is the GTX now, which costs Rs 1.75 lakh more than the discontinued GTK!
The 7-speed dual-clutch automatic option for the 140PS turbo-petrol engine is now available only in the top-spec GTX+ variant. Get ready to shell out an additional Rs 1 lakh for this over the discontinued GTX DCT.
Lower variants powered by the 115PS 1.5-litre petrol engine see price rises from Rs 10,000 to Rs 25,000.
