The Kia Seltos once launched in the Indian market will be available with a range of three engine options: Smartstream 1.5-litre petrol, 1.5-litre diesel CRDi VGT and the Smartstream 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine options.

Thoughts On The Kia Seltos Bookings
The Kia Seltos is one of the most-anticipated SUVs in the Indian market. Kia has already garnered a lot of interest even ahead of the launch of its product in the Indian market.
Positioned in the mid-size SUV segment, the Kia Seltos will rival the likes of its cousin, the Hyundai Creta, Mahindra XUV500, Tata Harrier, Jeep Compass, MG Hector and the Nissan Kicks. Expect Kia Motors to price the Seltos competitively in the Rs 12 lakh to Rs 15 lakh, ex-showroom range.
