Kia Seltos Price in India 2026 — All Variants, On Road Price by City

The HTK(O) is the Seltos sweet spot for most petrol buyers — at ₹14.39L it unlocks the panoramic sunroof, the 30-inch dual 12.3-inch screen setup, wireless charging, Bose audio, connected car, and the full feature set that defines the Seltos experience. The base HTE at ₹10.99L gets all safety features except ADAS, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, all four power windows, and keyless entry. The jump from HTK to HTK(O) at ₹1.5L is the most feature-dense upgrade in the Seltos lineup — the panoramic sunroof and the twin 12.3-inch screens together are worth the premium. The 1.5L NA petrol (115hp/144Nm) is adequate for city and moderate highway use, though buyers doing regular highway performance driving should look at the turbo variants.

The HTK(O) IVT combines the full HTK(O) feature set with Kia's IVT (Intelligent Variable Transmission) — a CVT-style automatic that delivers the smoothest city driving experience in the Seltos range. Hi, I booked the new Kia Seltos CVT when its ex-showroom price was ₹13.41 lakh — the IVT is a smooth, reliable gearbox for city use. The IVT is the recommended automatic for buyers who spend the majority of their driving time in urban traffic and prioritise smooth, stress-free stop-and-go performance over outright performance. At ₹15.69L ex-showroom, it offers the twin screens, panoramic sunroof, and smooth automatic at the most city-friendly price point in the automatic Seltos range.

The HTX+ 1.5L turbo petrol with 7-speed DCT is the most compelling performance proposition in the compact SUV segment under ₹22 lakh on road. The 1.5-litre turbo-petrol makes 158bhp and 253Nm — the DCT delivers strong performance whether driven in cities or on highways, with power delivery that is smooth with a tinge of eagerness. At 160hp and 253Nm, this is the most powerful engine available in any compact SUV under ₹20L ex-showroom in India. The 7-speed DCT's fast, precise gear changes, combined with this engine's broad torque spread, make the Seltos turbo DCT the closest thing to a driver's car in its segment. The HTX+ trim adds ventilated front seats, the full Bose sound system, 360-degree camera, and the dual-zone climate control over lower trims.

The HTX+ diesel MT is the Seltos at its most economical — the 1.5L turbo diesel (116hp/250Nm) paired with the 6-speed manual delivers approximately 21 kmpl in real-world highway conditions and the diesel's low-end torque makes motorway overtaking effortless without downshifting. The diesel is the clear recommendation for buyers covering 400+ km weekly on highways or doing regular intercity travel. Diesel variants in Delhi begin at ₹15.85 lakh on road — the HTX+ diesel MT at ₹20.44L on road Delhi places it at the same price as the IVT petrol top variant while delivering significantly more economy and outright torque for highway use. The diesel AT (6-speed torque converter) is available for buyers who want diesel torque with automatic comfort at the expense of some mileage.

July 1, 2026: Kia introduced two new top-end variants — GTX(O) and X-Line(O) — at ₹21.57 lakh (ex-showroom). Exclusive features include an enhanced Level 2+ ADAS suite, rain-sensing wipers, and an inbuilt dashcam. These two variants are the most comprehensively equipped Seltos variants ever — Level 2+ ADAS (a step above the standard Level 2 in lower trims), rain-sensing wipers, factory-fitted dashcam, and the X-Line's distinctive blacked-out styling package. The GTX(O) is the performance flagship; the X-Line(O) adds the design differentiation of X-Line's darkened trim elements. At ₹21.57L ex-showroom, both variants sit in the same territory as entry Hyundai Tucson and Jeep Meridian — the Seltos punches significantly above its price in technology at this level.
