Kia Expands the Seltos Line-up with New GTX(O) and X-Line(O) Variants

Kia India has strengthened the flagship end of the Seltos range by introducing the new GTX(O) and X-Line(O) variants. The launch comes just months after the arrival of the all-new second-generation Seltos and aims to make the premium trims even more feature-loaded.

The Seltos range continues to start at ₹10.99 lakh (ex-showroom), while the new GTX(O) and X-Line(O) variants receive a host of convenience, connected car and comfort upgrades without altering the SUV’s proven powertrain lineup. Priced at ₹21.56 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Petrol 7DCT versions and ₹21.81 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Diesel 6AT variants, the new models add premium technologies such as a Head-Up Display, Digital Key, Smart Dashcam, Air Purifier with AQI Display, One-touch auto up/down windows, and enhanced Kia Connect 2.0 functionality while retaining the Seltos’ 5-star Bharat NCAP safety credentials and multiple powertrain options.

Auto Punditz Take

Kia has enhanced its flagship offerings with features that customers increasingly expect in the ₹20 lakh SUV segment. The addition of a Head-Up Display, Digital Key, Smart Dashcam and improved connected technology makes the GTX(O) and X-Line(O) more competitive against rivals such as the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq and Honda Elevate.

With a five-star Bharat NCAP safety rating, multiple powertrain choices and one of the most comprehensive feature lists in the segment, the Seltos continues to strengthen its position as one of India’s most desirable midsize SUVs.
