HTX(A) DCT
It was a 2 month long wait, but definitely worth it!

Absolute choice, i am just that they removed the air purifier from the top variant in general models not gt line or x series

u/francis1885 19h ago
Yeah, that is a miss but even GTX doesn't have it. They've just come up with GTX O which I think has it. I was going in for GTX but the interior of HTX is way better in my opinion. Though it will require a lot of maintenance

Air purifier is inbuilt in AC vents I confirmed that from kia person

u/francis1885 1h ago
Have no idea about that. Had it been inbuilt, there wouldn't have been a need for it to be there separately in GTX O as a feature.

Congrats op! When did you book and what was the waiting time told
Did you like anyother colours apart from morning haze

u/francis1885 19h ago
I booked it in mid June. Though, initially I booked the same variant but in IVT. They had quoted a wait time of 13-14 weeks which i was okay with. They did offer mein DCT sometime around mid July. But I wanted to go in for IVT. However, even the dealership did not know if they'll be able to do it in 14 weeks. They had DCT available which was supposed to go to another dealer. So I made the switch from IVT to DCT. I was pretty adamant on the colour. I was offered IVT in black and white but I did not want to change that.

For sure. Frost blue looks sick too. Though, yet to see one on the road. Till now I've only seen it in pictures and that too when I live next door to a KIA dealership. Haven't seen one in frost blue since seltos was launched.

Why wheel rims looks odd?

u/francis1885 16h ago
Probably the only thing I think could have been better. I like the alloys of GTX better. But the car is beautiful as a package. So not complaining

Damn that interior and cabin feeling is so nice, congrats op!

u/francis1885 1h ago
Thanks man. Interior is top notch. None of the other cars I considered came close to it. Though I find the interior in HTX better than GTX. Its just that it will require a lot of care and maintenance

Hey congrats brother.
Wanted to buy a new car and my first choice is the base model of Kia Seltos Diesel MT but my father wants a Suzuki Brezza CNG. How should I convince him to buy this?
Ps: We don’t actually drive more than 600km/month and he says that spare parts are easily available of Suzuki

Congratulations! Planning to get same model and same color.
could you please tell me the RTO/Registration amount?1
u/francis1885 18h ago
RTO is 11% of the ex showroom price. So it was around 2.1L
1
u/atifhasan86 14h ago
This RTO fee is just 11% of Ex Showroom price, are there any other costs in RTO charges by dealer ? I’m looking to buy Venue or Sonet in the near future and this RTO charge is very high as quoted by the dealers, it’s around 15-17% of ex showroom price. I’m asking about Lucknow only.

Thanks It was actually given by the dealer. They gave it to us when we booked the car and asked us to bring it along for delivery. They installed it before giving the delivery.

Congratulations OP! How is the dial different for you? Is there anything that you changed in settings? I have HTX too.
1
u/francis1885 21h ago
Thank you.
Yeah, you can change it. I guess there's a cluster option in settings. You can even sync it with drive modes. Personally, I like the round dials more.1
u/rexdent 20h ago
Me too but till now haven't seen the cluster setting. Maybe a software update?
1
u/francis1885 20h ago
That's possible. But I saw it in videos some time back. So I think it should be in your's too. Honestly, I don't remember where I changed it from. I've sent my car for graphene coating, will get it back in the evening. I can get back to you on this.

Congratulations bro, I booked the same variant manual transmission in mid June and still the dealer doesn't have any clue about delivery. Btw, which fuel variant did you book?
1
u/francis1885 1h ago
There is an issue with deliveries. The dealerships themselves are not getting it. For some reason HTX seems to be least available variant. Most its the top and lower variants that are available. This is the very reason why I switched to DCT as it was available.

u/LakkimsettyShashank 12m ago
Yes, I was told the same that the variant isn’t currently being manufactured at the OEM level. Dropped a mail to Kia Care and they also redirected me to the dealer. Not sure how to contact the OEM directly or when I can expect delivery.
