Kia India launched the new Seltos in the country earlier this month, with prices starting at Rs. 10.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The mid-size SUV has now begun arriving at local dealers, and we have spotted a lower-spec variant at a dealership facility.
As seen in the images here, the Kia Seltos HTE (O) variant is finished in a shade of Glacier White Pearl, which is one of the 12 colours offered with the model. Key exterior highlights include LED headlamps, taillights, and DRLs, rear LED light bar, 16-inch styled steel wheels, flush-fitting door handles (manual type), and Gloss Black roof rails.
Inside, this lower variant of the 2026 Seltos boasts dual 10.25-inch screens, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, four type-C charging ports, cruise control, front and rear armrests, rear AC vents, 60:40 split rear seats, drive and traction modes, dual-tone upholstery, EPB with auto-hold, paddle shifters, and electrically adjustable ORVMs.
Under the hood, this HTE (O) variant of the new Kia Seltos is offered with 1.5-litre NA petrol, 1.5-litre diesel, and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines. Transmission options include six-speed manual, IVT, six-speed torque converter automatic, and six-speed iMT units. Prices of this offering range from Rs. 12.09 - 14.99 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom).
