The Kia Seltos compact SUV, which recently made its international debut right here in India, is scheduled to launch on 22 August 2019. It will be Kia’s debutant product in the Indian market and features a distinct sporty design and a range of petrol and diesel powertrain options to choose from. Bookings for the Kia Seltos will begin from 16 July 2019.
Kia aims to have 265 touchpoints across 160 cities ready by the time of the launch. The numbers should go up to 300 by 2020 and to 350 by 2021. The Korean carmaker plans to sell the Seltos not only through its showrooms but through online channels as well.
It will be powered by three BS6-compliant engines - two petrol and one diesel. Apart from a 6-speed MT, Kia will also offer a 7-speed DCT, CVT and a 6-speed torque converter automatic with the Seltos.
