There has been no change in engine specifications of 2021 Seltos and it continues to be offered with the same options, the only addition being an iMT gearbox

Kia Motors has launched the updated lineup of Seltos for 2021 which features additional variants along with some new features onboard. The South Korean carmaker had teased an update for its compact C-segment SUV last month which included a change in its variants as well as adoption of a new brand logo as part of its new market campaign strategy. 2021 Sonet has also been launched.

New GTX(O) trim

A new top-spec GTX(O) trim has been added to the Seltos lineup which is exclusively available with the turbo petrol motor mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. This variant is similar to the next best GTX+ trim, however, it boasts leatherette sports seats in black and beige colour with a honeycomb pattern. Since the variant belongs to GT class, the seats are contoured with red stitching highlights.

Addition of iMT Gearbox

Another major addition has been the inclusion of an intelligent manual transmission (iMT) to the crossover’s lineup. The clutchless manual gearbox has been added to the mid-spec HTK+ trim powered by the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol unit.

An iMT gearbox is known to provide the driver convenience of an automatic in addition to the thrill of a stick shift. Rest of the lineup will continue to feature the conventional 6-speed manual gearbox.
