The HTE (O) adds 60:40 split rear seats with an armrest, connected LED tail lamps and drive modes, with an electric parking brake, traction modes and paddle shifters on automatics.

On-road prices will be higher because registration, road tax and insurance are added and vary by state. Ask the dealer for a quote on the exact engine and gearbox you want. Full details are on Kia India's official Seltos page.
