We finally have an idea of what kind of mileage you can expect to get in a Kia Seltos. India Today released the numbers for the Seltos' 1.4-liter Turbo GDI, 1.5-liter, and 1.5 liter deisel engines.

-- Seltos 1.4-litre Turbo GDI petrol MT - 16.1 kmpl (37.8 mpg)
-- Seltos 1.4-litre Turbo GDI petrol DCT - 16.2 kmpl (38.1 mpg)
-- Seltos 1.5-litre petrol MT - 16.4 kmpl (38.5 mpg)
-- Seltos 1.5-litre petrol CVT - 16.3 kmpl (38.3 mpg)
-- Seltos 1.5-litre diesel MT - 20.8 kmpl (48.9 mpg)
-- Seltos 1.5-litre diesel AT - 17.8 kmpl (41.8 mpg)

Do you know if Kia has plans to launch the Seltos with a hybrid?

I haven't seen anything yet about a hybrid model. My guess is if they start to expand sales to other countries then we'll likely see a hybrid.

Here is Car and Driver's guess.....

The EPA hasn't released fuel economy estimates for the Seltos, but we expect it to earn ratings that will be similar to the Kona, which would mean highway fuel economy as high as 33 mpg for front-wheel-drive models with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder. On our 200-mile highway fuel economy test route, an all-wheel-drive Kona with the 2.0-liter returned 33 mpg; a front-wheel-drive model with the 1.6-liter managed 34 mpg.

It makes a lot of sense that its mileage would be in the same ballpark as the Kona. 33-34 mpg is not bad at all.
