Since the time it was revealed, plenty of information about the Kia Seltos has been leaked in bits and pieces ahead of its launch, which is scheduled for August 22, 2019. There has been no shortage of unofficial variant break-ups, but one little detail that caught the eye of a number of potential buyers was the absence of a true top-end variant for the 1.4-litre petrol dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT) version of the Kia Seltos. Now, however, we can confirm Kia will also offer a fully-loaded GTX+ version of the Seltos petrol-DCT.
Dealers have recently been instructed to start accepting bookings for the Kia Seltos GTX+ DCT, which will be powered by the 140hp, 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The GTX+ DCT, which is set to sit at the top of the Kia Seltos’ petrol variant line-up, will pack in extra goodies, such as an electric sunroof, an eight-way powered driver’s seat, ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera, a 400W, eight-speaker Bose audio system, a blind-spot monitor and front parking sensors, in addition to the features available on the GTX, which include six airbags, an 8.0-inch head-up display, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Kia’s UVO Connect suite with a free three-year subscription and wireless smartphone charging, to name a few.
At the media drive event, Kia officially revealed the Seltos will be available in two variant lines – HT Line (which stands for Tech Line and is geared more towards luxury) and GT Line (which stands for Sports Line and adds sportier elements to the package). These variant lines are further divided into individual variants – the base E (Energy), mid-spec K (Klass) and top-spec X (eXtreme). While the 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engines will be available in Tech Line guise, the 1.4-litre turbo-petrol will only be available in GT form, and to that effect, will feature sportier styling bits and an all-black interior. With all engine-gearbox combinations accounted for, there will be a total of 16 versions of the Kia Seltos.
However, this fully-loaded Kia Seltos GTX+ DCT won’t come cheap. With the Kia Seltos’ price expected to range from Rs 11-17 lakh (ex-showroom), expect the top-spec GTX+ DCT to be positioned at the higher end of that price bracket.
