Kia Motors will officially start the booking for their much-anticipated SUV, Seltos, starting next week. Kia Seltos booking can be done online or through visiting the dealerships from the same day.
Most select dealerships across India have already started taking unofficial bookings for the same at Rs 25,000. However, our advice to you is to wait until the official booking portal opens because there are many fraudulent websites claiming to be the official channels for the booking process.
Kia Seltos is based on the Hyundai Creta platform but will offer more premium features and will sit at a higher end than its rival. Most dealerships are planning to display the car by the first week of August and the deliveries will commence on the first week of September. The latter depending on how soon you book the car.
