Kia Seltos Waiting Period

Kia Seltos compact SUV has crossed the 60,000 bookings mark since its launch in August this year. In fact, it also became the top-selling mid-size SUV in India. Among its 18 variants, the fully-loaded GTX variant has seen the maximum demand.

The top-end trim comes with 1.4L turbocharged petrol – DCT automatic gearbox combination and 1.5L diesel – automatic gearbox option.

Kia Seltos Dealership

With an aim to reduce its waiting period, Kia Motors has begun the second shift at its Anantapur plant in Andhra Pradesh. Now, the facility produces over 15,000 units per month with addition of 1,000 more employees.

Kia’s upcoming subcompact SUV will be produced at the same facility. Therefore, the company plans to begin the third shift and take its production capacity to 4 lakh per annum from 3 lakh units.

While the Kia Carnival premium MPV is slated to go on sale in January 2020, the Kia QYi subcompact SUV will hit roads by July 2020.

The Kia Seltos has been made available with three BS6-compliant engines – a 1.5L petrol, a 1.4L petrol and a 1.5L diesel. While the 1.5L gasoline motor makes 115bhp with 144Nm, the 1.4L turbocharged unit pushes out 140bhp with 242Nm. The 1.5L oil burner is good for 115bhp and 250Nm of torque.
