  • Q. I am planning to buy Kia Seltos HT line (1.5 litre engine), however unsure of performance after first/second servicing. Can an owner please advise if there is an issue that exists after first or second service-either in engine or any other aspect such as transmission, suspension etc.?

    Kia has tested seltos over 20 lakh km in india. No issues at all. However if you use BS4 fuel ( Diesel) & commute in top gear ( 6th usually & rarely 5th) & also commute frequently long distance, the yellow light, shows up & you will have to take it to service center & clean / replace DPF (Diesel particulate filter) due to clogging, done free of cost.However take care, to tank up at reputed fuel outlets & keep away from adulterated pumps. Regarding your purchase, grab the seltos at the earliest, & also take 5 year extended limited warranty of 1,20,000 km. Now if you take 5 years unlimited km warranty, the cost goes up by ₹5000.

    Thanks for the reply, however, still does not answer my question on engine performance after 1st or 2nd service. Would appreciate if you or a Seltos owner could share their experience.

  • PERFORMANCE IS FINE , ROAD

    Performance is fine, Road grip is good, But failure in fuel efficiency bumper to bumper mileage in petrol is 3 - 5 kmpl and in city 7 - 9 kmpl.This is disgusting.

  • Move ahead

    Hi, I have purchased seltos htk imt diesel, It was delivered 2 weeks back.Existing imt users, Anyone faced issues with creep/crawl/hill start assist functionality in first gear in imt gearbox, When i am stuck at traffic signals, And roads has small slopes like 5 degrees or 10 degrees, Then in first gear, The crawl/hill start assist functionality does not work as expected, My car rolls backwards slightly and i have to manually press accelerator asap to avoid further rollback.The car does not hold for 3 seconds at all, It rolls backwards as soo as i release the break.Same thing happens for reverse gear, If there is 5-10 degrees slope, Car moves forward, And i have to press accelerator asap to avoid movement ahead.Fyi, Hill assist feature working fine on steep slopes in hilly roads, Mall ramps.The car holds for 2-3 seconds and enough time to move ahead without rollback.
