There will be no shortage of choices for the Seltos in India. The Seltos will come in 16 different variants between the Tech Line and the GT-Line.

This is a pretty remarkable roll out by Kia, especially for a new model.

I'm still surprised Indian regulators haven't come down on diesel engines. Its only a matter of time.

It's an interesting situation because there are apparently new emission regulations starting in April 2020. Maruti Suzuki is going to discontinue selling diesel cars as a result. But it doesn't seem to bother the likes of Toyota and Kia.

Well there are smaller countries these can be sold to for some years to come.
It might be what Kia and other automakers have in mind.

That would make sense, Kia has been pretty aggressive with getting involved with emerging markets.
