Scoop : Kia to launch to new variants of Seltos in April.

Kia to introduce iMT transmission in Seltos, it will be offered in the HTK+ trim onwards that is powered by the 1.5-litre NA petrol engine. This 6-speed iMT will be on sale along with the conventional 6-speed manual.

According to a media report, Kia is planning to introduce two new variants of the Sonet - HTX Petrol DCT and HTX Diesel AT.



The Sonet HTX Petrol DCT will be positioned above the HTK Plus trim. It will be offered with a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that puts out 118 BHP and 172 Nm. The engine will be mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.



The HTX Diesel AT variant will be offered with the 1.5-litre diesel engine producing 113 BHP and 250 Nm and will be mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission.



The HTX trim comes with features such as LED headlamps with LED daytime running lights, electric sunroof, automatic climate control, and an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.



It has also been reported that the HTK+ Petrol DCT, HTK+ Diesel AT and HTX+ Diesel AT variants will be discontinued.

Good to see that the Kia is offering Traction control from the HTX version itself along with alloys and other safety features like ESC, VSA, HAC, BA from HTX itself is worth considering now.

And, glad that Kia had discontinued the HTK+ variant in DCT and Diesel AT by bringing HTX as the replacement and this will help Kia gain more sales as well.

I'm waiting for the response from Kia regarding updates of features in Seltos as well.

The above safety features are limited to the DCT HTX variant ONLY. The D AT HTX only gets the TC. Sucks! But this was the case even with the HTK+ variant.

Sometimes I seriously fail to understand the variant planning of these Koreans!

Maybe it was the mistake for not mentioning the Diesel AT by these rushlane guys.

Let's hope that the Kia will give those safety features in Diesel AT as well. But, still, I would recommend everyone to get GTX+ Diesel AT only.

Slight correction here! Kia didn't even introduce HTX+ Diesel AT in Sonet since the launch! The Sonet had only HTK+ and GTX+ in Diesel AT.

HTX+ Diesel AT was available only in Seltos itself, which will be discontinued soon.

Any updates on 2021 Seltos btw?

Seems like the new HTX Sonet turbo variant with 7DCT also comes with paddle shifters.

This confirms that both seltos and sonet will get paddle shifters, I hope they don't hike the prices too much .

Here’s a bit more insight on the feature spread across the variants.

Looks like Kia got their wierd feature allocation sorted & the D AT now gets the much required safety tech viz. ESP, HAC, BA, etc.

I am also expecting a good bump in the prices with these additions.

P. S.: Got this from a FB source.

This is good news from Kia! Introducing Diesel AT and 7DCT in HTX is a welcome addition!

Kia finally realized the importance of safety features, and good to see that those safety features will be available from HTX onwards.

BTW, did you get any update on the addition of features in 2021 Seltos?

Nope, nothing on the Seltos; except for the fact that it will now be getting an iMT box.
