Kia Seltos is the first in its segment to offer three different automatic transmissions which include a CVT gearbox for 1.5L petrol, a 6-speed AT for 1.5L turbocharged diesel and a 7-speed DCT for the 1.4L T-GDI engine.
Kia Seltos is the much-awaited car in the Indian market right now and it will launch on Aug 22, 2019. The mid-size SUV has received over 23,000 bookings till now and our sources say that deliveries will commence from the first week of September only. That said, with the hype of Kia Seltos so much, Quikr shows us various accessories offered with the car.
Starting off, the Kia Seltos receives chrome packages as accessories. Indians love chrome on their car as it gives an upmarket feel and so the chrome can be used at the window lines, doors, headlights, taillights, ORVMs and more.
Other bits include alloy wheels protection, bumper protection which comes with Kia branding and side steps. The cabin inside receives neck pillows, back support pillow for the driver, dashboard idol and Kia also offers rear-seat entertainment screens. As of now, these are what we got but we hope Kia Motors might also bring more accessories once the car is launched.

Talking about the features the SUV then gets LED Headlamps and Taillights, a large 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It comes with UVO connect, similar to the BlueLink offered in the Hyundai Venue.

It also gets a 360-degree camera and Blind-spot monitoring system. The latter is the first in its segment.
That said, Kia Seltos is feature-loaded SUV and the pricing for the same will be kept competitive. We expect it to start from Rs 9.99 lakh for the base trim to Rs 16.99 lakh for the top-end trim (ex-showroom, Delhi).
