Kia Motors launched the Seltos with an amazing price tag of Rs 9.69 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and it instantly became a hit in the Indian market. We are saying this because Kia Seltos beat the popular Hyundai Creta in August sales.
Yes, the Kia Seltos garnered about 6,236 units where the Hyundai Creta saw only 6,001 units in sales. It’s not much but for an entry segment mid-size SUV, it definitely makes a mark.
Following the sales with Hyundai Creta, we also have the new trendsetter MG Hector and Tata Harrier, both of which falls in the mid-size SUV segment. And both the cars give fair competition to the Kia Seltos.
