I guess the prices for the top end variants have been announced.

Wow, same price for petrol and diesel. It's pleasantly surprising. I was mentally preparing myself for 17.5 for diesel AT. Is this official confirmation from KIA?

Does any one know if the 1.4 TGDI motor in the Seltos has the Continuous Variable Valve Duration (CVVD) technology as in the 1.6 TGDI engine they are introducing in the US?

Good move by Kia to launch the fully loaded Diesel AT GTX+ variant with six airbags! Good to know Kia has listened to its customers and given them what they wanted.

According to my dealer it seems that no automatics (IVT /TC/DCT) have been dispatched by Kia yet - can anyone confirm this ?

My dealer confirms the same . Sparsh kia confirmed that the automatic allocation will only happen post September 15 and only then the vehicles will be dispatched from the factory

Today, I took my Storme for some running repairs in a Tata ASS. The kia dealership is owned by the same people here in Lucknow. I saw a Seltos Auto that came for some high security number plate fitment as the availabilty of the guy was not there in Kia ASS. It was a Diesel AT HTK+. There was an AUTO badging on side fender. Also was Bharat6 at the boot. So, I think there is different scenarios in different cities. I also saw the stockyard of kia that had as many as 15 new vehicles parked for delivery.

This looks like a doctored image. Third column consists of Safety, which was removed and altered as capabilities. The language itself shows that, it's Fake, or the bottom portion is copied from International website, since it shows miles per gallon and heated seats.

Surprising!! Fake images in Auto sector too. It's catching up with the National mood.

If both automatic variants of GTX+ are priced the same, what are the trades off of chosing one over the other.

A 6 speed torque converter or a 7 speed DCT
A petrol or a diesel automatic
GDI vs CRDI

Comes down to the mileage and maintenance costs in my opinion. A turbo petrol and turbo diesel might have pretty similar maintenance costs over the long term and the mileage may have a 50% diff (~10kmpl vs ~15kmpl). Because of this mileage difference, even the resale value might be different in parts of India.

As far as I know, only the newly launched1.6 TGDI has it. The 1.4 Turbo Petrol engine is an older iteration.

True! For people like me based out of Delhi where there is a 10 vs 15 years for petrol and Diesel is a consideration.

My other concern is that the DCT will be high maintenance over the torque converter. Also, there is a mileage difference since we know that Hyundai engines are notorious in mileage and might land up with a single digit mileage for a 70 km daily run
