Kia has officially confirmed Seltos as the name of their first product in India.

The interior of the Kia Seltos will feature a huge 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system that will offer features like Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Navigation, etc. The Seltos will be offering mood lighting, adaptive cruise control, steering mounted paddle shifts, etc.
The Korean carmaker is expected to offer 1.5-litre turbo petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engine options with the Kia Seltos. It will come with both 6-speed manual and automatic transmission options. The engines offered are likely to be BS6 compliant at the time of the launch.
The Kia Seltos is expected to be priced at Rs. 9-16 lakhs (ex-showroom). The new compact SUV from Kia will be competing against a range of products in the Indian market including Hyundai Creta, Renault Captur, Tata Harrier, MG Hector, Jeep Compass and Nissan Kicks.
