The price adjustments, particularly the Rs. 2,000 reduction, have left some puzzled, especially considering the modest impact on a car with a price tag of up to Rs. 20.0 lakh. The timing, just after the festive season, raises questions. If you have any insights into why Kia opted for this minor correction in Seltos prices, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section. The Seltos rivals the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, Maruti Grand Vitara, Citroen C3 AirCross and Toyota HyRyder in the compact SUV space. In pricing terms, there’s considerable overlap between the Seltos and the likes of the Tata Harrier, Safari MG Hector, Mahindra Scorpio. XUV700 and the Thar.
