    2020 Kia Seltos launched: Why should you buy?

    Kia Motors India has launched the 2020 Seltos with updated features list. The car is now priced from Rs 9.89 lakh (all-India ex-showroom) and receives 10 new features across the range. The South Korean carmaker has also discontinued two variants, basis market response, and now the SUV is available in 16 variants. Let's take a look at what compels buyers to choose the Kia Seltos over its chief rivals.

    What’s good?

    Since the Kia Seltos is available in multiple variants, there is a model for every set of buyer. Further, the higher trims come loaded with features like 360-degree camera, sound mood lighting, BOSE eight-speaker music system, ventilated seats, sunroof, UVO Connect, integrated air purifier and more.

    What’s not so good?

    With the model-year update, Kia has discontinued the GTK variant from the Seltos GT Line. This particular variant was the more accessible entry-point trim that came with the 1.4-litre TGDI motor. What’s more, the petrol IVT (CVT) automatic is only available in the HTX trim.

    Best variant to buy

    The Kia Seltos is available in as many as 16 variants, so choosing one is not less than a nightmare. On the flipside, there’s a Seltos for every buyer. Customers looking for a value-for-money variant, and aren’t willing to spend more on the top-spec variant, can opt for the HTX+ trim, which is available with manual as well as automatic transmissions. Those who like to get a fully-loaded version can either choose the HTX+ or the GTX+ trim.

    1.5-litre - 113bhp/145Nm
