The Kia Seltos facelift has amassed 31,716 bookings just over a month after the manufacturer started accepting orders on July 14. The Seltos facelift brought with it a raft of cosmetic updates, feature enhancements and an updated powertrain line-up, with prices ranging between Rs 10.89 lakh-20 lakh, ex-showroom. We now have fresh details on its waiting period as well. 

  1. Most of the demand has been for the HTX trim and above
  2. HTX gets features like panoramic sunroof, full-LED lighting
  3. Seltos has sold over 5 lakh units since launch in 2019

Kia Seltos bookings split

Kia states that nearly 55 percent of all bookings made so far have been for the higher-spec trims – HTX and upwards – while the exclusive-to-India Pewter Olive paint shade accounts for 19 percent of all bookings.

The fact that higher-spec trims are in great demand is not surprising as the Seltos is loaded from the HTX trim onwards – a panoramic sunroof, 17-inch alloys, larger 10.25-inch touchscreen, full-LED lighting, leatherette upholstery, dual-zone climate control and more are all availble from this trim.

This is despite the fact that the HTX variants are priced well north of Rs 15 lakh (ex-showroom), but as we have seen with several other models, Indians do not mind paying the premium for feel-good features. For a detailed break-up of the variant-wise features list, click here.

Kia Seltos waiting period details

Our dealer sources reveal that the Seltos currently has a maximum waiting period of up to three months for the top-spec GTX+ and X-Line variants. Meanwhile, the mid-spec HTX and HTX+ variants have a two-month waiting period, while the entry-level variants are readily available. There’s no difference in the waiting period depending on the powertrain, but the popular Pewter Olive and Black colours have a three-month waiting period, while White and Silver are readily available.

Kia Seltos trims, engines, specifications

The Seltos is offered in three distinct trim lines – Tech Line, GT Line and X-Line. The Tech Line is divided into five trims – HTE, HTK, HTK+, HTX, HTX+ – while the GT Line and X-Line comprise one trim each.

As for powertrain options, the range starts with the 115hp, 144Nm, 1.5 petrol mated to 6-speed MT or CVT gearbox on the Tech Line trims. A new 160hp, 253Nm, 1.5 turbo-petrol – with a 6-speed iMT or 7-speed DCT gearbox – as well as the 116hp, 250Nm, 1.5 diesel – mated to a 6-speed iMT or AT gearbox – are spread across all three trim lines.
