Kia Seltos lower-end variants are now offered with almost all colour options the compact SUV comes in.
The base HTE variant was offered in only two colours earlier.
Previously, the HTK and HTK+ variants did not get the Black colour.
Dual-tone colours limited to GT Line variants.
When Kia facelifted the Seltos last year, it gave the compact SUV eight colours, with dual-tone options for some of them. But not all variants of the Seltos received all the colour options: the lower-end variants had to make do with only some of them. Now, Kia has introduced almost all the colour options on the lower-end variants, barring the dual-tone shades and the Xclusive Matte Graphite.

To make life easier, we have detailed the variant-wise colour options which were offered earlier compared to the options available now with the lower variants:

As seen in the table above, the base variant was earlier available in just two hues. Meanwhile, the HTK and HTK+ variants were available in six colours, missing out on the Aurora Black Pearl. Now, all of these colours are available with the lower-end variants, offering buyers more choice.
Another point to note is that the HTX+ variant was available earlier with dual-tone colours, but now features only monotone shades. The dual-tone option is now limited to the GT Line variants.

For more details about the Kia Seltos, head to our in-depth first drive review. It is priced from Rs 10.90 lakh to Rs 20.35 lakh (ex-showroom), putting it in contention with the Hyundai Creta, Honda Elevate, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Volkswagen Taigun, and Skoda Kushaq.
