What the HTX(A) 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 HTX(A) Petrol AT comes to ₹19,37,940 on the road in Itanagar and ₹22,11,358 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,73,418 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 ₹18.32L ex-showroom this is the 24th of 44 Seltos variants by price, ₹30,000 above the HTX Turbo Petrol AT. The same HTX(A) features start at ₹1.30L less as the HTX(A) Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Petrol with the cvt automatic. Stepping up to GTX from here starts at ₹40,000 more and buys wheel size (18" against 17") and driver seat memory, though it gives up 360° camera.

- Expect ₹19,37,940 in Itanagar and ₹22,11,358 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,73,418 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.
- Which engine and gearbox does the Kia Seltos HTX(A) Petrol AT have?
- The Petrol, 115 PS, with the CVT automatic.

- What does the Kia Seltos HTX(A) Petrol AT miss out on?
- The GTX above it adds wheel size (18" against 17") and driver seat memory, for ₹40,000 more. It would also cost you 360° camera and blind spot monitor, so it is not purely a step up.
- Is the HTX(A) 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.
