The company has introduced a new Kia Seltos Gravity Edition for the compact SUV model line in India. It will be available in the form of the higher-spec HTX variant, priced between Rs 16.63 lakh and Rs 18.21 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India). That would do with some Gravity edition-specific design changes and a few features over its donor variant, like a dashcam and Bose sound system. Let’s now understand the Kia Seltos Gravity Edition with the help of images:
Kia Seltos Gravity Edition: Exterior
The pictures of the Kia Seltos Gravity Edition are painted in an Aurora Black Pearl hue. It can also be ordered with a Glacial White Pearl Colour.
Nothing seems to distinguish the front side of the Gravity edition Kia Seltos from the base model. It does get an LED setup for headlights, fog lamps, and DRLs. The silver skid plate and chrome surround for the grille make the additional case for this edition, though they are present in abundance.
There’s badging of ‘Gravity’ at the front doors on the sides. The wheels are of 17 inches of alloy variety. While the donor HTX variant gets 17-inch silver alloy wheels, the Gravity Edition gets them in a dual-tone design. Body-coloured door handles are in for the Gravity Edition-its HTX counterpart gets the chrome finish on Seltos.

At the rear, the only difference between the Gravity edition and the base model is that it gets a gloss-black spoiler. It also gets a connected LED tail light setup. The vehicle also comes with a silver skid plate.
Kia Seltos Gravity Edition: Interior
The navy blue and black interior theme comes with the Kia Seltos Gravity Edition. Blue seat upholstery has also been given to it. Function front seats have been provided with a ventilation function. There is a dashcam added to it as well.
Another electronic parking brake is also in the car but just like a CVT automatic will be the only option that comes with it, while the manual iteration boasts a traditional one.
The audio system has also been upgraded to include an 8-speaker Bose audio system.
Other borrowed features from the HTX trim include a panoramic sunroof, 10.25-inch touchscreen, and dual-zone AC.
It does not add anything new to the safety suite in the Gravity Edition, and it comes with six airbags, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), a rearview camera, and front parking sensors.
Kia Seltos Gravity Edition: Powertrain Options
There are two powertrains for the Kia Seltos Gravity Edition. The first one is a 1.5-litre petrol engine that churns out 115 PS of power and 144 Nm of torque. This engine is offered with both 6-speed manual and CVT transmissions. The other one is a 1.5-litre diesel engine which pumps out 116 PS of power and 250 Nm of torque and is mated with a 6-speed manual transmission, though the diesel variant also comes with a 6-speed automatic in the other variant of Seltos.
Besides, other Seltos variants also receive a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine churning out 160 PS and 250 Nm. The turbo engine can be matched with the 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT).
