That is one massive table and yes, the Seltos offers all the features that are available with the Hyundai Venue and its BlueLink. UVO Connect, similar to BlueLink, also comes with a free subscription for the first three years. Apart from this there is also UVO Lite, a Bluetooth-based remote control mobile app to control the audio and video.

It also comes with AI Voice Command feature that recognises Indian English accent. The feature can be used for calls, date and time, navigation, media controls, weather information and temperature or blower speed controls.

As you can see, the first three features are available only with an automatic transmission. But we guess that would not be an issue for Seltos customers as the SUV comes with three automatic gearbox options. A 7-speed DCT, 6-speed AT and CVT are the automatic gearbox options along with a 6-speed manual.

The Seltos will be offered with three BS6-compliant engines. The petrol engines comprise of a 1.5-litre motor which makes 115PS/144Nm and the range-topping petrol 1.4-litre Turbo GDI unit, good for 140PS and 242Nm. The 1.5-litre diesel engine, meanwhile, makes around 115PS of power and 250Nm of torque.

Other standout features are the 10.25-inch HD touchscreen and 7.0-inch cluster, 8.0-inch heads-up display, 400-Watt 8-speaker Bose Sound system, Kia Sound mood lighting, 360-degree camera, six airbags, sunroof and more.
