Recently Asked User Questions
Q. Which is better Kia Seltos petrol or diesel?
- 1) Diesel will have slightly more maintenance costs than petrol version, however this is offset by distance travelled over 15,000 km per year, AC usage, full load of passengers looking, luggage etc.2) However maintenance & servicing of DCT is expensive, because of the Nature of the components, high cost of spares, replacement, consumables of the DCT.3) Further DCT is a premium version & Naturally servicing & spares will be substantially higher, when compared to other versions.4) DCT variant is for premium segment, those who are willing to spend money for luxury, sporty feel, high power output. Those looking for economy should avoid DCT & gofor petrol or diesel. Also kia makes maximum margin on the DCT variant. 5) That said, I emphasize that DCT variant servicing & maintenance will be substantially higher, but it will not cost a bomb, like Audi, Skoda, Mercedes etc so test drive a DCT & if you love it, go for it, without regrets.
- 1) if you drive more than 15, 000 to 20,000 km per year go for the diesel.2) if your driving kilometers is less than 15000 per year go for the petrol.3) if you are addicted to the torque of diesel, get the diesel variant, irrespective of annual kilometers covered.4) if you are a connoisseur, to get maximum pleasure of driving & not bothered about the mileage or maintenance costs, go for the DCT ( 7 speed Dual clutch transmission) in Turbo petrol.Special Remarks, Assimilate the art of driving a DCT from Google ( Theory) & grasp the gist of it, before you test drive a DCT.

Q. What is the difference between Kia Seltos HTX and Kia Seltos HTX Plus?
- While the Kia Seltos HTX is available with both petrol and diesel engine options, the HTX Plus is a diesel only offering from the Korean manufacturer. Moreover, HTX Plus gets front parking sensors, 7-inch full-colour multi info display (MID), 8-way electrically-adjustable driver seat, Bose 8-speaker sound system, etc. over the HTX variant. If you are eyeing for a diesel car, then the HTX Plus asks a acceptable premium.
- I Buy Petrol Htx plus. But it is not available
Q. Which is the best variant to buy in Kia Seltos?
More Questions
- I own a 2021 Kia Seltos 1.4TGDI DCT model. In terms of performance it's one of the best I have driven. On open roads it can easily beat the likes of Innova, Fortuner and all big guys with its sheer speed and Dual clutch just makes you zoom past other cars while they figure to get the car in right gear. Power is in its dual clutch and turbo engine. The Dual clutch is the best, it's like someone is choosing the right gear for you constantly. Features wise one of the best and the 360 camera quality is on par with high end cars. I have not driven the diesel automatic on highway but it will not be as quick as the 1.4TGDI especially with torque converter. If you enjoy driving a good car this is the best you can get, the top end petrol variant. Mileage average I got is 13kmpl with half aggressive highway and half on eco mode in city combined. I will take that anyday with the performance the car is giving. I went for top end petrol because of its performance and dual clutch which I know is drivers best friend. I didn't choose diesel because the same engine is being offered from base variant of Sonet and all the way upto top end Seltos. There is no value for money in the top variant for diesel. You can get the same engine for much less cost.
- Value for money buys1) basic variants HTE, both petrol & Diesel.2) mid variants HTK plus both petrol & Diesel.3) top variants HTX both petrol & Diesel.4) The top most variants HTX plus & GTX plus, both petrol & Diesel are the best, but not value for money.
- Agreed all are in one or another single value for money even the highest model don't cross luxury limit to pay the tax for it watch out for long term review luster gone in many Chinese parts and the Corona the future of Kia???

After a lot of R&D finally got the Kia Seltos HTE Diesel. I must say, I do not regret my decision. It is an absolute delight to drive this baby. The power is more than adequate to skim through Bengaluru city traffic and out on the highway, you just put your feet down, Seltos does the remaining. Overtaking is never a problem even if you are at speeds over 120 KMPH. Overall a value for money package.

I booked the Kia seltos HTX BLACK COLOR even before it was launched, but I got the delivery only in Feb as the black color was not available as per the dealer. I booked the car for its looks, Interior and features it offered, however I am very satisfied with its drivability and responsiveness. I saw a huge bump in performance after my first service. Great Family SUV.

As a basically everyone asking about milage. It gives 20kmpl as company says and it is not bad and safety features you know about by broucher of vehicles and it's company website, Boot space is less if you take so much luggage but if you are not taking so much luggage so you have enough space and rear passenger seat have so good space even if from seats are moved back till it slide rear passenger can comfortably seat.overall it is good. Once driving is something strange happen mileage is showing 22kmpl.

Very powerful car. Has good road presence and very comfortable. 17 inch tiers are just beautiful. Boot space is a bit of a problem but all over this car is a beast. On highways this car drives like a boat ,130-140 kmph no problem . No body roll very stable . This is the best sub four meter car in the market. Very proud of mahindra for introducing this top quality car in India.

Satisfied with the cars performance and comfort till now (9 months ), Although service centres response is not satisfactory, e.g. poor fitting of accessories, number plate was also loose and vibrated, but the car is so good that i will tolerate them.
Dr Prashant few weeks ago -
Being a tall person i have always admired cars which are good in ground clearance and offers the best interiors considering the price too. Xuv300 is the perfect car i have purchased, most astonishing feature giving a luxury feel are the LED light signature DRLs, the cabin is quite roomy with best in class headroom, kneeroom and lots of spaces to keep stuff.the 1.5 litre turbocharged engine delivers best in class power and recommend more of people to buy it
