Kia Seltos Specs & Features: Key Highlights

The Seltos is Kia's offering in the competitive compact SUV segment. It's a good-looking vehicle featuring Kia's signature tiger nose grille and modern styling lines. The Seltos also promises to deliver a comfortable, feature-packed, technologically advanced driving experience in true Kia style. Here are the features and specifications of the Kia Seltos:

  • Matching 10.25-inch Touchscreen: It is perfectly complemented by a 10.25-inch colour touchscreen for navigation and multimedia access mounted centrally. This dual high-tech display delivers multimedia prowess from both driver and passenger seats.

  • Creature Comforts: The advanced HVAC system enables independent temperature settings for driver and passenger zones - optimising comfort across rows through precise zone control of cooled or heated air.

  • Huge Panoramic Sunroof: The expansive sunroof offers an airy, open cabin environment that makes road trips more scenic, allowing abundant light and views for all aboard this SUV.

  • Fuel Efficient Powertrains: Performance meets efficiency with a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine pumping out competitive power and torque figures capable of minimal city runs or long hauls with cruise control ease.

  • Advanced DCT Transmission: The spirited petrol further benefits through Kia's quick-shifting 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, enabling a sporty acceleration timeline in automatic and manual shifting modes via steering-mounted paddle shifters.

  • Balanced Proportions: With a high 190mm ground clearance, the Seltos easily glides over broken roads, tall speed breakers and small potholes without underbody scrapes, making Indian terrain friendlier.

  • Measurements: Its dimensions — 4365mm length, making it appear substantial on the road, 1645mm generous height aiding ingress, and 1800mm width hinting at spacious interiors — strike a harmony between exterior road presence and interior roominess.

Specs & Features: Kia Seltos  vs Rivals

The Seltos faces tough competition from other popular midsize SUV models like MG Astor, Hyundai Creta and Volkswagen Taigun. In terms of size, pricing and engine options, these main Seltos rivals stay very close. However, each tries to appeal to customers through unique designs, cabin layouts, features, or driving experiences that match different needs and tastes within this crowded segment.

Kia Seltos  vs  MG Astor

  • Dimensions and Styling: The Seltos is more extended and broader than the Astor. The Seltos has a more masculine and boxy design, while the Astor has a more curved and streamlined style.

  • Engine Performance: The Seltos offers more powerful 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine options than Astor's top 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine. The Seltos provides a better driving experience with improved acceleration and dynamics.

  • Technology & Safety: The Astor has advanced driver assistance tech, such as adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and auto emergency braking. The Seltos offers a 10.25-inch touchscreen, ventilated front seats, an air purifier with virus protection, and advanced safety features, including ADAS functions.

  • Pricing: Seltos pricing ranges between ₹10 - 18 lakhs, while the Astor is priced from ₹10 - 17 lakhs. The Seltos is more of a premium offering than Astor.

  • Brand Reputation: Kia has established a stronger brand reputation in India over the last few years, while MG is still gaining prominence. Due to higher resale value, the Seltos enjoys an edge over Astor currently in terms of brand value.

Kia Seltos  vs  Hyundai Creta

  • Exterior Styling: The Seltos has a sportier, more aggressive design with distinct creases and lines. The Creta has a more subtle, elegant exterior design. 

  • Space and Dimensions: The Seltos and Creta offer similar interior space and dimensions, including a rear seat room. The Seltos may feel more spacious due to its interior layout.

  • Features and Technology: The Seltos has a 10.25-inch touchscreen, heads-up display, ventilated front seats and a Bose sound system on higher trims. The Creta offers a 10.25-inch touchscreen, panoramic sunroof, drive modes, air purifier, and terrain modes.

  • Powertrain Options: Both compact SUVs have 1.5L petrol and diesel engines. The Seltos offers an automatic diesel option, and so does the Creta. So, they are evenly matched in terms of engine options. 

  • Pricing: The Seltos is priced from ₹10 - 18 lakh. The Creta has a lower starting price between ₹10 - 17 lakh. But Seltos offers more features in higher trims.

  • Ride & Handling: The Seltos has a slightly stiffer suspension setup, making it feel more nimble and athletic around corners compared to the Creta's softer suspension tuning, which focuses more on ride quality.

Kia Seltos  vs  Volkswagen Taigun

  • Styling: The Seltos features bold, athletic exterior styling with Kia's signature 'tiger nose' grille, crown jewel headlamps, and sculpted creases. The Taigun sports Volkswagen's characteristic clean, understated design lines for a more premium European look.

  • Space and Practicality: At 4,365mm in length and 2,610mm in wheelbase, the Seltos maximise passenger room and boot space. At 4,221mm long and 2,651 mm in wheelbase, the Taigun trades some practicality for manoeuvrability.

  • Features: The tech-laden Seltos has an edge thanks to a 10.25-inch touchscreen, Bose audio system, ventilated front seats, and heads-up display. The Taigun counters with a digital cockpit, wireless charging, and connected car features.

  • Powertrains: Seltos offers 160BHP 1.5L turbo petrol and 115BHP 1.5L petrol/diesel engines with manual and automatic options. Taigun gets two turbo-petrol engines - 115PS 1.0L and 150PS 1.5L, again with manual/auto gearbox choices.

  • Pricing: Mid-spec GT-line Seltos trim costs around ₹14 lakh, overlapping with the higher Taigun Highline variant at ₹15 lahks. Entry grades have a bigger price gap, with base Seltos undercutting Taigun by over ₹1 lakh.
