Re: 2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Review

Is it possible to get an upgrade to Bose Audio system instead of Arkamys in lower models as an official accessory?

Yes, you can upgrade but you need to procure Bose Speakers from outside (offline stores) or from online genuine accessories shop like boodmo as Service center guys will not provide you Bose Speakers if your car variant is not GTX/XLINE variant.

But is it worth upgrading to Bose Speakers? My answer is "No". You will get better speakers such as Infinity or DLS at the same price. Anyway changing speaker from Arkamys to Bose will void warranty. So my suggestion will be either don't change the speaker or go for a better speaker rather than bose. Or the 3rd option, i.e. wait for the warranty to expire and then do all sort of modifications.

TPMS Warning from my Kia Seltos!

Today I started getting another warning message and that was from the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System. It kept on displaying the Alert with the Beep, that the Front Driver side tyre is having low pressure. So I took my vehicle to near by Petrol pump and filled air with 35 PSI in all the tyres. After filling air, I thought it will go away by its own as all tyres are now inflated, but it did not go away. Rather it continued to irritate me with the Alert. I searched for the option to reset it but there is no such setting in the car. Called Kia customer care but they redirected me to the Service Center (Not sure what is the use of Kia customer care, for any query they redirect to Service center).

After all this exercise, I called the Service Engineer of Epitome Kia. He suggested me to fill the tyre with 45 PSI (the tyre which was showing warning). This will reset the TPMS sensor and the warning message will disappear. After that we can reduce the pressure back to 35 PSI. I did the same and it worked for me. Hence thought of sharing this info with all the Owners.
Coincidentally, I too got all the tyres of my X-line filled up to 35 PSI today after a bit of delay. Everyone of them was showing 29 PSI on the instrument cluster for the past 4 -5 days.

But nothing went wrong. Within a minute of filling up and driving the car, the instrument cluster started showing the correct pressure, the warning sign was gone and the warning beep also went silent.

Re: 2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Review

One Touch Sunroof open/close not working

My daughter was trying to open/close the sun roof a few days back and since then the one touch stopped working. I saw several videos on YouTube suggesting to hold the button till the glass opens from the back and resets the system. Sadly, it doesn't seem to work. Has anyone else faced this problem? How did you fix it?

Price cut of 2000 Rs. Ex-showroom HTX onwards

I wonder why they did it?

Can't think of any reason apart from them trying to convince people not to defer their purchase for a 2024 VIN car. A ₹2000 cut seems farcical but someone recently reported some dealerships are also offering ₹25k worth accessories for free or a discount of an equivalent amount.

Interesting! Why would Kia cut the price by 2000 INR, which is around 0.1% - 0.13% of the ex-showroom price given that they sold over 12,000 Seltos in October?

Anyway, a discount of 2000 INR is minuscule. It is too small an amount to induce a prospective buyer to make a purchase immediately and say not to wait for a 2024 manufactured car.

Or are all people postponing purchasing a vehicle because of impending economic uncertainty?

Is this some kind of an year-end joke by Kia?

I mean why would someone buying a car worth more than INR 1800K give 2 hoots for INR 2K?

HAS to be something about working around some tax/govt policies. I can't think of ANY other sane reason whatsoever.

What if this reduction might have to do something with removal of Auto up/down power windows for HTX to GTX+ variants?

One-touch up-down for all windows, except the driver's side, has been removed from all variants except X-Line, apparently leading to the price cut. Previously, it was available in HTX and above.

Kia's strategy is unclear – pushing customers towards X-Line for a few nifty features and better looking interiors, but at the same time forcing the difficult to maintain matte grey which one may not even like.

my SA has not yet communicated this but this will be a bummer, if true. The X-Line not being available in any other colour trim is a major drawback, this is definitely a thorn.

Re: 2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Review

Guys can you help with the selection of Extended Warranty or My Convinience Plus? Which one is better value for money?

Re: 2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Review

My SA in Mumbai is going to try getting me a car in 2 weeks. Is it worth the wait to get a 2024 VIN? What’s the benefit?
