what makes it even more frustrating is that the only temporary solution is to get the moisture desiccant pads inside the assemblies replaced at asc— which itself is not an easy task

i chose a bad road just to test the suspension and i was delighted as it absorbed the bumps very well without much sound
- Reliability and faults61 owners
excellent fit and finish, no loose ends, no niggles, no electronic drama - something for tata and mahindra to learn from these koreans

On service and workshops
I just completed a 750 KMS road trip. I encountered a couple of issues. 1. There is a noise from the dashboard speakers every time the car drives over uneven roads and bad patches. The same issue was present in one of the test drive vehicles. 2. There was a kickback from the brake pedals. The kickback felt like a single knock ea…
2026-07-29 Hi all, I got my HTK IVT mid March 2026. After happily driving i10 for 15 years, the Seltos upgrade has been smooth. The transition from manual to automatic and to bigger dimensions was easy. The car has done nearly 2500 km within Delhi. Two small worries have been, milage of around 10kmpl and the imperial blue colour which look…
2026-06-23 The "My KIA" app, service reminder setting in the car, and the KIA customer care are all considering 30 days from the date of registration (not delivery) for the check-up. However, the owner's manual mentions 45 days or 1000kms. I want to go by the manual, however, it is better to confirm with the service centre. If 1000kms are…
2026-05-02 First Service is due either once you finish 1000 Km or 45 days, whichever comes first. Second service is due either when you finish 10000 Kms or 01 Year, whichever comes first. Similar logic followed for the rest of the scheduled services. The service centre team might reach you for 6 months or 5000 Km interval, but almost all m…
2026-05-01 My family has owned two Hyundai diesels over the last six years, and the experience has been stellar. We started with a 2019 Kia Seltos HTX+ Diesel Manual and upgraded to a 2024 Hyundai Alcazar Facelift Platinum Diesel Manual. Our usage has been extensive: 2019 to 2024 Kia Seltos: Clocked nearly 130,000 km in 5 years 2024 Hyunda…
2026-01-13 I just completed a trip from Delhi to Dehradun then from Dehradun to Jim Corbett with HTX G1.5 6MT. The total drive was around 1200km. Fuel economy was 15.5kmpl. The roads between Dehradun and Jim Corbett were very bad but Seltos handled the roads really well. On bad roads, the ride was a bit bumpy at first at low speeds due to…

On living with it
I have quoted multiple threads, as I was in the same boat. My Seltos HTX+ is now 3+yrs old and has already covered 48000kms. In my recent trip to some very nasty hills I picked a sidewall cut on my stock GYs and found a tube insert as a temp solution at the hills, which also meant that I had to take out the TPMS. Anyways after a…
2023-12-26 Hi, I had a sidewall cut on my stock JK ( Seltos GTX ) at about 8000 kms. Did not know about the unconditional warranty but luckily happened to check at a JK tyre dealer and they replaced it within a week. At about 13 or 14K kms one more sidewall cut on another tyre (This is within Bangalore city roads). Vehicle was with the Kia…
2023-01-14 What do you do on a working Friday? Well....wake up unusually early and get down to cleaning your car to have it ready for the weekend Some waterless wash and a layer of 3M liquid wax End result The air pressure was topped up during the last service in the first week of June, 3 months ago. But ride quality was at its best and gr…

These are figures Kia Seltos owners published themselves over roughly twenty years, normalised and checked for plausibility, alongside a priced parts catalogue. They are a guide to what others paid — not an audited price list, and not verified invoices. Each figure shows the number of owners behind it so you can weigh it yourself.
