Kia Motors India has brought more versatility to the Seltos lineup with the introduction of five new diesel manual variants. As part of the Tech Line trim, these additions aim to cater to a broader audience by providing an affordable yet powerful driving experience. The new Kia Seltos Diesel 6-speed MT variants further solidify the brand’s commitment to offering diverse options within the popular Compact SUV segment.
Variety and Affordability:
The latest expansion of the Seltos lineup introduces five diesel manual variants, available under the Tech Line trim, with prices starting at Rs 11,99,900 (ex-showroom). This move comes after the successful launch of the Seltos facelift in July last year, where the SUV initially offered a 1.5-litre diesel engine paired with a 6-speed iMT and a 6-speed automatic. With the inclusion of the 6-speed manual transmission, the Seltos now boasts an extensive lineup, offering consumers a total of 24 different variants to choose from.
Powerful Performance Options:
The Seltos Diesel variants are powered by a robust 1.5-litre diesel engine, delivering a formidable performance with 114 BHP at 4,000 rpm and 250 Nm of torque at 1,500-2,750 rpm. This engine choice adds to the existing powertrain options for the Seltos, which include a 1.5-litre petrol engine with a 6-speed manual or IVT, and a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine paired with either a 6-speed iMT or a 7-speed DCT. The comprehensive powertrain options allow consumers to tailor their driving experience to suit their preferences and requirements.
Enhanced Interior Features:
Inside the Seltos, the updated features elevate the driving experience. The cabin now boasts dual 10.25-inch screens, offering advanced connectivity and infotainment options. The dual-zone automatic climate control ensures a comfortable environment for both driver and passengers, while the dual-pane panoramic sunroof adds a touch of luxury to the driving experience. The 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels enhance the SUV’s exterior aesthetics, providing a stylish and modern look.
