Kia Motors has recently announced a noteworthy enhancement to its popular Seltos SUV lineup by introducing a 6-speed manual transmission option for the diesel engine variants. This strategic move aims to provide customers with a broader choice, enhancing the driving experience with manual control over the powerful diesel powertrain.
Seltos diesel variants
The Seltos diesel variants with the newly introduced manual transmission are available in five trims – HTE, HTK, HTK+, HTX, and HTX+. Kia has thoughtfully priced these variants, ranging between INR 11,99,900 and 18,27,900 (Ex-showroom). This pricing strategy positions the Seltos as an attractive option in the competitive SUV market.
Despite the introduction of the manual transmission, Kia ensures that customers still have diverse choices for the Seltos diesel lineup. The Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) remains available in mid-variants, offering a blend of manual control with the convenience of an automated clutch. Additionally, customers looking for an automatic option can opt for the existing 6-speed automatic transmission available in the top trims.
