The 2025 updates bring more value to the lower-spec variants while remaining unchanged mechanically

Kia has launched the 2025 Seltos on our shores, with prices ranging from Rs 11.3 lakh to Rs 20.50 lakh (ex-showroom). The update introduced three new variants: HTE (O), HTK (O) and HTK+ (O). These variants basically make certain premium features more affordable and are available with petrol and diesel powertrain options. So how are these variants priced, and what do they offer? Let’s take a look:

HTE (O) Variant: New Features And Pricing

The base-spec trim now offers an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, steering-mounted audio controls and a 6-speaker audio system which provides an enriching audio experience for the price. It also features power windows for all doors, and connected tail lights for a modern and upmarket look. There is also a rearview mirror for better visibility.

The HTE (O) variant is available with both petrol and diesel options. Here’s a look at the pricing:

Variant	Price
HTE (O) Petrol MT	Rs 11.13 lakh
HTE (O) Diesel MT	Rs 12.71 lakh

HTK (O) Variant: New Features And Pricing

The HTK (O) variant introduces a sunroof, not a regular one but a panoramic unit! This addition makes the variant very appealing for the price it's offered at. It also has 16-inch alloy wheels, a rear wiper with washer and defogger, cruise control and a smart key.
