We will definitely see more EVs in the next couple of years, but the infrastructure required for them to turn mainstream has some serious catching up to do.

Now, if you look at the upcoming BS 6 norms, amongst others pollutants, the stipulated sulphur emissions are mandated to be reduced to 10 PPM from BS IV regulation of 50 PPM! That translates to a whopping 80% reduction in sulphur emissions!

ICE engines are going to be around, and remain mainstream, for at least about a decade. Just like their EV counterparts, they will continue to get better with time.

IMHO, if the Seltos is in your wishlist, you should go ahead and pre-book it. Who knows, Kia might just spring a surprise.

There is no online cancellation and we depend on dealer to process our refund. I understand it is my mistake in booking both the vehicle online but i was eager to get quick delivery through pre-booking it online but its a grave mistake. if any case we need to cancel online booking its a painful process. i wonder even at this age why there is no online cancellation when companies are eager in online booking.

Just came across another video on youtube channel Carnews by Rishabh Arora, which shows the physical copy of the brochure.

He is willing to send a copy over courier if one reaches out to him over whatsapp.
Claims to have all details on the entire feature list of seltos variants. Will share for the group once I get the physical or the photos of the same.
Thanks

Sharing address with a random stranger is totally a big no for me. Well, I hope somebody gets hold of them and share the photos here. Really suspicious as to why Kia will send a small youtuber so many brochures.

Another TVC of Seltos!

This is just clickbait in the youtube generation. People claim to have the information but rarely have it! He could well have just printed some soft copies of the website brochure. I doubt he would have the real final version.
Why not wait a few days till the showrooms share the real deal - possibly around the 3rd Aug.

Don't understand as to why he is sharing his WhatsApp number to send the copies to each person. Why can't he just upload a video, maybe he will, after a couple of days, that way, he will get more subscribers and more views for both the videos.

The last image shows that it is not the GT line variant " No GT line " mentioned on the back unlike the GT variants seen from the unveil however the alloys are the one's fromm the GT line and that seems unusual. It is confusing now. Will the alloys be offered as an option ?

The cars that are being made are mixed in varients. No final varients are being produced right now. It was NDTV who got to test the cars and they claimed that Kia have provided them test cars with a mix of features. So they are prototype cars.

I'm sure there is a money making plot somewhere. There is no free lunch!!

Once the showrooms come up and it's showtime, all of this will fall in place, everyone will know the details etc.

Yup, totally agree. Was just trying my luck in case he shares a soft copy

DASKD24 · 22nd July 2019, 22:04

Just got to learn from a friend that the Rishabh youtuber guy is asking for 100/- via Paytm for each brochure. Seriously

Looks like while KIA still plays the tight lipped officially, every other person in the chaos and fair is out to milk the situation.

The video is now not available. I think Kia team got hold of it due to publicity on Team-BHP.
