The HTX Variant comes with a 10.25-inch touch screen, all variants from HTX onwards have this touchscreen and therefore have only Wired Android Auto and Apple car play, the same is the situation with other Hyundai-Kia cars with a 10.25-inch touchscreen in India. Only the cars with the 8-inch touchscreen have wireless android auto and apple carplay in the Kia lineup.

Okay. I read someone's post in the thread that Kia have sorted this up with the vendor and is expected to provide wireless connectivity in future OTA updates.
Lets hope it happens !

Don't get your hopes up, this has been their excuse since 2020, and when the Verna launched, Hyundai said the same thing too, but nothing has materialized as of yet, I own a Seltos 2.0 and find this the only fly in the ointment in an otherwise well connected car.

Hey, thanks for sharing. Any clarity whether this discount is on ex showroom price or company services (warranty, service package etc) or the dealer services (insurance, accessories etc)?

Could you specify for which variant they told for this, as I've booked the Petrol manual HTX variant with Allied motors. They refused completely when asked for this. Also they are saying prices will be increased in January, hence planning for this delivery for this month only.

Just for information, they provided accessories worth 8k when I negotiated with them, in case it's of help for people finalizing in Delhi/NCR.

Hi sunnsood - and Team at large:

What are the statutory charges? I have a delivery tomorrow of GTX+ and the invoice has that charge (6300/-) mentioned.
Can I get that waived or is that Government money?
I am in Delhi.

Thank you all!

Re: 2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Review

Quick update - On my new Kia Seltos X line, Today I had all the 4 tyres swapped out with Continental UC6 in stock 215/55R18 size from the OE JK tyres. The ride quality is much better and rolling noise is also much lesser now. I got the Continentals at 11500 a tyre and exchange value the dealer gave for the original tyres was 4k per tyre. Net spend was 30k for all the tyres after the exchange.

Now next area of upgrade to be done is the headlights/foglights. They are quite miserable and insufficient! I will most likely get the foglights upgraded once the fog light bezel for the top model is available. Currently it is not available but for lower models the bezel for 3 inch projectors is now available and people are getting 3 inch projectors fitted on lower models.

Re: 2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Review

Crystal Kia Pune is giving me accessories worth 15K free of cost. While many items are unnecessary for me, a few caught my eye and would like your reviews on them.

1) Door logo projector with inbuilt battery. Is it like typical aftermarket products which stop working after 2-3 months ? This costs 5200, hence concerned.

2) Qubo Q Book 4 K dashcam. This is only front dashcam I believe and would cost 18K. Overpriced?

Kia website has no mention of any door logo projector. Those seems to be sold separately by the dealer.
Kia Genuine Accessories

1. A quick Google search shows a price of ₹400-500 for 2 piece. 5200/- includes a very fat margin!

2. There's a very wide price range for dashcams in the market. Totally depends on how much you're willing to pay. To me, 18K for single channel (front only) dashcam is overpriced when I can get dual channel dashcams for 10-12K (ddpai/70mai).

Dashcam is a much more practical investment between the two for me.

These are available on the Qubo website for much less. The dual-channel setup is available for 14K, while the single-channel front dashcam is available for 12K.

Trust me when I say this. The dealers are desperate because of year-end. Push them for actual discounts instead of freebies. As someone already mentioned in this thread, people are getting ~47k discount straight up in Bangalore. Neither of those accessories are worth.

Hey there! I am looking to book GTX Plus soon. Tyre swap is in my mind too. But, should I go for R17 for better ride quality as suggested by many users, as you went for R18.

And about Headlights. Will upgrading them void my warranty?
