What the HTK(O) Turbo Petrol AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the HTK(O) Turbo Petrol AT comes to ₹17,59,440 on the road in Itanagar and ₹20,07,579 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,48,139 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest and Karnataka highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹16.62L ex-showroom this is the 18th of 44 Seltos variants by price, ₹28,000 above the HTK Diesel AT. The same HTK(O) features start at ₹2.10L less as the HTK(O) Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Turbo Petrol with the 7-speed dual-clutch auto (dca). Worth a hard look before you sign: the cheapest HTX actually costs ₹70,000 less than this variant and buys LED fog lamps and touchscreen (12.3" against 10.25") among 10 additions. That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the Turbo Petrol with the 7-speed dual-clutch auto (dca), the HTX starts at ₹18.02L.

Kia Seltos HTK(O): the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.

- ₹16.62L, ex-showroom. That makes it 18th of 44 by price, ₹28,000 above the HTK Diesel AT.
- What is the on-road price of the Kia Seltos HTK(O) Turbo Petrol AT?
- Expect ₹17,59,440 in Itanagar and ₹20,07,579 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,48,139 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the ex-showroom price plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.

- The Turbo Petrol, 160 PS, with the 7-speed dual-clutch auto (DCA).

- The HTX above it adds LED fog lamps, touchscreen (12.3" against 10.25"), speakers (8 against 6), Bose premium sound system and 6 more, for ₹70,000 less. That is the cheapest way into the HTX though, on a different engine or gearbox: keeping this one, it is ₹1.40L more.
- Is the HTK(O) the right Seltos to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our Kia Seltos which-variant page. The short answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
