Why there is no overall score
Scores are our reading of published, independent evidence, not the manufacturer's, and we deliberately publish no single overall rating: a car can be excellent on safety and weak on resale, and one number would hide that. How we score, and how makers can respond.

Base and top model, what the trim names mean, how it is sold, and what each way costs

What the Kia Seltos trim names mean
- What do the Kia Seltos trim names mean?
- A trim is a level of equipment, and Kia uses 12 names for them on the Seltos: in its own order they run HTE, HTE(O), HTK and 9 more. The name is not the car, though: HTK(O) alone covers 6 variants, differing in fuel and gearbox rather than in equipment, so the trim you settle on still leaves you a choice. Between them the 44 variants cost ₹11.00L to ₹21.82L, ex-showroom.

How the Kia Seltos is sold, and what each way costs
