Situation Day 1 at 12 AM!! Expected. I don't want to risk my money getting stuck in the payment gateway!! What a shame. I have tweeted to Kia India as well.

Do dealers get special apps to place booking! What about K Code then. I simply should have booked via dealer.

The Kia magic seems to be in play again

Site is still down. This trend about taking bookings without price reveal is becoming a norm now. It seems manufacturers want to see demand for various variants and tune pricing before official reveal.

Is there any official communication on when pricing would be revealed?

Maybe they didn't expect this much rush to come at 12 am haha.

I too loved the X-Line interiors more than GT line. The white arm rest on the door sides are a big disappointment. Will easily get dirty. The X-Line has the dark greenish kind of an interior and not exactly grey.

But even I would love to know how hard it is to maintain that matte? I have read that its very hard.

I have seen this image going around. If this is true, it seems to be super high maintenance .

Stuck here for 20 minutes now.
Sad experience, Kia. What a waste of time! I am off now.

This reminds us that Kia is a car company and not a tech company

How are you all deciding the colours without even looking at the colours? It's so hard!

Can we change the colour later after booking? I doubt that will be possible.

The SA says no. One may even want to change the variant if found to be through the roof upon price reveal. Even that is not possible without restarting the position in the queue.

Managed to book one for my close friend. Got confirmation SMS as well, with a link to download order and receipt details.





Booking an IRCTC Tatkal ticket during Diwali season felt easier.

Peace.

Darn! this is so hard. I don't know if I will love the pewter olive colour. I want to go with silver but my existing 9 year old car was also silver. So bored of it.

Gravity grey also looks lovely! Black looks like a beast but super hard to maintain.

I think probably better to book tomorrow morning. Hopefully Kia will have worked out the glitches.

The new Seltos is going to be a best seller GNACP notwithstanding.

Can anyone share a KCode in my DM please?

Finally managed to book online. It's been over 20 min. Got confirmation of money deducted from my account but no sms/email confirmation from Kia and my order is not shown on My Dashboard page too. Looks like I may need to contest this transaction. What a colossal waste of an hour and probably more.

[Ad1tya]

Wow, the Kia Autobahn guys came through.

I couldn't do the booking online. Kept throwing Error:9999 at payment, and just a few minutes ago, my booking showed up, under my orders on the Kia website.

[sumeetchawla]

Celica Kia in Kolkata is not even shown as one of the dealers in the dropdown. Only SPL and Eastern Kia. Weird.

Same situation here. Been waiting since an hour for the booking to show up under Dashboard. I would suggest you to share the issue with @KiaInd Twitter handle.

Same here Booking amount deducted but no SMS / Email and the booking is not shown. Atleast i reached the page where it showed Order Confirmation from the Return URL to the KIA site.. Hope the order is placed or its such a pain to follow up and rectify which might miss the priority booking day..
