One question- I heard there is an option to turn off ADAS functions.

Is it like all of them get turned off at once, or we can selectively turn off the one's we don't want? Secondly if we turn off the adaptive cruise, does it work like normal cruise control?

The ADAS functions have to be turned off or put on alert individually. It was done by my service advisor at the time of delivery. He had left on the rear cross traffic alert but I got a shock while reversing as the car suddenly stopped sensing traffic at the rear though the bikes were at quite a distance. It is too disconcerting and I will turn it to alert only.

I haven't used the cruise control yet. I am planning on a trip to Pondy this weekend so at the end of the trip I should be able to have a lot more answers.

On suspension, it is good to see this feedback. All the reviews have consistently pointed out the improvements getting more or less negated with 18inch wheels.

I personally did not find the ride that great but I missed checking the tyre pressure on TD vehicle (Petrol 1.5 turbo). My wife kept on complaining about comfort when seated in rear. Do let us know feedback from passengers seated on rear seats.

My comparison is with my first gen Creta which runs on 16 inch and 65 profile tyres and I certainly do not find any reason to complain. In fact I find the Seltos better in normal city traffic. I am yet to take it on the highways. Regarding rear passengers, I have a trip planned this weekend so I will let you know after that since I will be having rear passengers also.

Does anyone know the accuracy of the delivery date mentioned in the booking docket ?

[MinionTraveller]

My booking docket says 4th Aug 2023. And its no where near the allocation as well. I have booked on 14th July, HTX Petrol MT with K Code.

I don't have a booking docket at all, was available on the website initially and also mailed by the dealer but once the dealer changed the variant, it vanished. As per the dealer, I am getting my car delivered coming Monday. So, I guess, it's all controlled by the dealer (at least seems like my case)

Try and refresh the page a few times. Sometimes I had to refresh the page for 10 times before the vanished booking docket appeared again.

Picked up my Seltos GTX+ Diesel AT today.

Been quite the wait, after booking on June 1st, but well worth it. The dealership (Kia Autobahn, South Bombay) did mention that this is the first GTX+ Diesel that they've delivered. They have although delivered quite a few petrols including an X-Line DCT since Monday.

Absolutely love the car. But yes, the first thing I did was go ahead and replace the JK Tyres with Continentals. I won't ever drive a car with JK Tyres on it, but that's just me.

Hello Ad1tya. Hope you're doing well.
Congratulations on your purchase. The car is looking beautiful and stunning. Can't wait to hear your ownership review.
Can you tell me from where and how much did it cost you to replace the Tyres with Continentals?

Thanks!

It cost me 12500 per tyre. They only gave me a buyback of 4000 per tyre for the JK's, which brings it to about 8500 each. I spoke to a few dealers and it does seem like the JK UX Royale in the same size, sells for 5500-6000 per piece. So it's not too bad I guess.
Edit: I only replaced 4 tyres, since the spare is a different size anyway.
Edit 2: Missed the where, I went to PAL tyres at Lamington Road.

I'd suggest you talk to dealer and enquire thoroughly about allocation against your booking. My dealer too had been silent since my booking on 8th July, that is until I visited my RM today and questioned him with a serious tone. Magically, he is now telling me he will get me a car in 10 days. Not sure if he will actually be able to pull that off, but at least I got some visibility.

On a different note, my RM has been a total disappointment until now. Told me Kia is not even dispatching DCTs, didn't offer a test drive, had to chase him multiple times to get prices and other details, told me to cancel my booking if I cannot wait. How Kia is still able to sell so many cars today is testament to how good they understand the preferences of our market.

[xotiq]

I booked with a K Code on the date that bookings opened. Got a call today informing that vehicle has been allotted. I have a 2 year old Seltos GTX+AT diesel (booked the same model again), and not in any hurry, never called the sales rep even once till now. Have asked for a test drive prior to going forward.

The car looks stunning Congratulations Ad1tya!!
As the deliveries have started for fellow Bhpians, I am getting more impatient now. I've booked the HTX IVT through K-code on 14/07, the booking docket says estimated delivery by 01/09. My dealer Kia Malad is not giving any info so far on the allocation. Maybe since I did the mistake of telling him don't want the insurance and accessories from them. Though they didn't mention anything officially this will delay my allocation but we all know how it goes. The dealership in Kia Worli told me upfront even before booking that priority will be given to people taking the entire package through them or will have to wait much longer.

Keeping fingers crossed, hope they allot as per the date on the docket.

Yeah, never tell dealers that you don’t want accessories. Insurance I was forced to take from them as well, but I will retroactively apply my NCB from my other car that’s being sold to reduce the cost. Fortunately, I only had to spend 4k on accessories as they didn’t have half the things I wanted in stock and I had said no to chrome. Although I increased their sales and offset this by taking sunfilm through them, because I would do this after market either way.

How much did they charge for the sunflim?
Plan on changing the tyres too, with the HTX they give Goodyear or MRF, which exact one can only be checked on allocation.
Any plans of ceramic coating or PPF? I am a bit confused on that end. I've booked the Imperial Blue colour.
I too need just a few accessories from them, however I do plan on taking the My convenience plus service package for 5 years, what are the thoughts of fellow BHPians on that?

Sunfilm was 22,000 for Durashield. All windows except sunroof.

I’ve done ceramic coating (inspection + touch ups every 6 months) as well as rust protection (live by the sea in Bombay, but we do have covered and closed garages).

I’ve taken the convenience package. 20k extra (over the extended warranty cost) for 5 years of virtually no payments is a steal.
