What the HTX(A) Turbo Petrol AT costs on the road
The price above is the sticker. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the HTX(A) Turbo Petrol AT comes to ₹20,21,940 on the road in Itanagar and ₹23,07,254 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,85,314 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 ₹19.12L ex-showroom Delhi this is the 29th of 44 Seltos variants by price, ₹28,000 above the HTX Diesel AT. The same HTX(A) kit starts at ₹2.10L less as the HTX(A) 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 GTX actually costs ₹40,000 less than this variant and buys wheel size (18" against 17") and driver seat memory, though it gives up 360° camera. That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the Turbo Petrol with the 7-speed dual-clutch auto (dca), the GTX starts at ₹19.52L.

Kia Seltos HTX(A): the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Kia Seltos HTX(A) Turbo Petrol AT?
- ₹19.12L, ex-showroom Delhi. That makes it 29th of 44 by price, ₹28,000 above the HTX Diesel AT.
- What is the on-road price of the Kia Seltos HTX(A) Turbo Petrol AT?
- Expect ₹20,21,940 in Itanagar and ₹23,07,254 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,85,314 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the sticker 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) Turbo Petrol AT have?
- The Turbo Petrol, 160 PS, with the 7-speed dual-clutch auto (DCA).
- What features does the Kia Seltos HTX(A) Turbo Petrol AT get?
- The kit worth naming on this trim: ADAS (Level 2 (full suite)), 360° camera, Blind spot monitor, Tri-screen cabin layout, Premium sound system (Bose) and Ventilated front seats.
- What does the Kia Seltos HTX(A) Turbo Petrol AT miss out on?
- The GTX above it adds wheel size (18" against 17") and driver seat memory, for ₹40,000 less. That is the cheapest way into the GTX though, on a different engine or gearbox: keeping this one, it is ₹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 version: pay for a step only where the kit it adds is kit you would actually use.
