Kia has added new HTK+ trims to the petrol and diesel lineup of the Seltos in our market. In 2023, the Korean auto giant achieved a remarkable sales figure, selling a total of 104,000 units of the Seltos. It’s worth noting that we are referring to a mid-size SUV and not an entry-level hatchback. These numbers reflect not only the market trend overall but also the success of this particular product. In order to expand its reach even further, the Korean giant is now offering 26 variants of the Seltos. This ensures that everyone can purchase the SUV depending on their individual preferences.

Author’s Note
Kia is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that it is able to grab the attention of as many potential customers as possible. In all honesty, that is necessary since the competition in this segment is at an all-time high. The prominent rivals in this space include the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Skoda Kushaq, VW Taigun, Honda Elevate and MG Astor. Hence, if Kia wants to ensure that it remains toward the top end of the sales charts in this category, measures like these can prove to be extremely helpful.
