Great ! Thanks for the confirmation sir.

I think I shall update my SA that I would like to switch from HTX D AT to GTX DCT!

The Sonet GTX makes a solid preposition.

On a side note. I think the dealers should stop playing this ‘waiting period’ card now. The bubble has burst already.

P. S.: Sorry for the OT (Sonet) discussion.

Of course there will be takers for this combination. I was just voicing my personal opinion. I somehow do not like Green with black (even in X-line). May be some other color, e.g. Beige would still go. But as I said, just my personal view.

GTX looks like a vfm for those not interested in extra fancy features. Good move by Kia !

There's a perfume cartridge in the FL GTX+? I've never seen it or, more pertinently, smelt it.

Well, they were anyway useless even in the pre-FL models and probably that's why Kia must have got rid of it.

I wouldn't say it was useless. My father had purchased the original Seltos GTX+ 2019 variant and I've driven it a few times. While admittedly subtle, the perfume was very much present.

It is inside the flap behind the air purifier. It comes sealed from factory to protect the fragrance and you have to remove a small foil seal to open it.

The fragrance is not very strong though, and lasts for about a month or a bit more.

What is Solar Glass? Rooftop comes with solar glass which will charge the battery ?

So finally Bose is gone now, so now GTX+ will get wireless Android/Carplay ?

Solar glass is UV (tinted) glass for windscreen & all side windows.

Bose is absent in the GTX variant, but that is a speaker system. The wireless integration is primarily linked to the head unit which still is a 10” unit with wired connection.

It looks absolutely stunning! This would have been my choice three months ago when I got mine!

Looks stunning, without the the chrome of GTX+, this is the black that's worth going for.

I thought UV Cut glass was standard on GTX & X-Line variants in the facelifted Seltos? Or, is there a difference in Solar Glass & UV cut glass?

I came across on the forum that the UV cut glass was discontinued for a brief period. So looks like it have been re-introduced.

This is interesting. I bought a Feb 2024 manufactured Seltos X-Line in March this year. How would I check if I got UV cut glasses or not? At the time of purchase, I was under the impression that UV Cut glass was provided in X-Line.
