Booked Seltos D AT GTX+; bought X-line: An amazing 5 months so far

The 1.5 diesel AT is so refined and the NVH levels are impressive for a diesel.

Bought the Kia Seltos X-line D AT

As I personally liked the design, styling and tech of the facelifted Seltos and diesel AT being my choice of engine and transmission,  I straight away went to the dealer to book one .

At the time of booking, I was unaware about the X-line in Pearl Black color and i booked the GTX plus D At variant in Aurora Black Pearl.

I was told that the waiting period is about 2-3 weeks.

Two weeks after the booking , I casually opened the Kia website and to my surprise, I found that Kia had launched the X-line in a Aurora Black Pearl and immediately fell in love with it.

Being a huge fan of a blacked out cars, I straight away contacted the dealer and cancelled the GTX+ which I had booked. The dealer was kind enough to cancel the GTX+ and changed it to X-line immediately.

And a week later, got a call from the dealer that the vehicle had reached them and PDI could be done.

Did the PDI and completed all the documentation process.

Being a 26 year old civil engineer, I was excited and proud about my first car purchase.

Initial impressions:

The 1.5 diesel AT is so refined and the NVH levels are impressive for a diesel. "Sage green interiors ", I liked the fact that it isn't as green as they advertised on the Kia website .

Exterior:

Appreciate Kia for bringing the Aurora Black Pearl in the Seltos X-line , all the blacked out bits really stand out.

ADAS:

Tried The Level 2 ADAS , works flawlessly, but wouldn't recommend for our road conditions . Nothing beats being in total control behind the wheel.

Audio Quality :

The 8 speaker BOSE audio system is decent enough . Bluetooth is ok but , playing music through Carplay and Android Auto with a lossless music streaming platform felt al ot better to me.

Suspension:

I felt that the suspension is not that stiff. Very much usable for our road conditions.

Got the Graphene coating done as I'm not a huge fan of PPF and heard a lots of horror stories about its longevity.

Its been an amazing 5 months with my Seltos X-line D AT  with a mix of city and highway drives.

I'll be completing 10000 kms in a couple of days and will share my first service experience.
