There is an upcoming Kia dealership in my neighborhood, and the completion work seems to be going in full speed. As the online bookings have already started, I am expecting the vehicles to go on display early August and pricing announcements in the first week.

Saw Seltos being tested few days back in Bangalore. Sadly the road presence is very muted and doesn't look as impressive as in the pictures. On the contrary, saw MG Hector today. It has some serious road presence. I think Seltos excitement won't last long but Hector means serious business.

Buddies,

As @350Z a.k.a Vibhor has already shared the important details like pricing and pic of Tiger standing next to the Seltos, So, here TaIGER @Akash1886 is sharing the launch event pics of the KIA Seltos that took place in Gurugram today evening. BTW, The Seltos in flesh looks quite promising in terms of design, features, pricing and on the performance front, as I got to know, the DCT is well tuned and the petrol engine is quite good to drive and the diesel engine on the other hand has scope of improvement** (these opinions were shared by a friend who attended media drive in GOA). The car has been tested extensively as has been informed. In my personal opinion, at this price point, This can pose a tough challenge to Creta. Both Duster and Compass will be a tough competition to the Seltos and with the Duster being an old but faithful and trusted soldier, it would be crucial to see how the Seltos stands up in comparison. Coming to Compass, well, it is priced higher and definitely has long history and recall value. However, in terms of looks and interiors, Seltos has upped the game. Compared to the interiors of Duster or Compass, Seltos looks notches above. So, now let the pics come in!
