3.0 / 5
The Kia Seltos HTE (O) 2026 petrol manual brings a 1,497 cc engine with 113 bhp, 200 mm ground clearance and 17 kmpl mileage to Nepal's Rs 52.90 lakh bracket. It suits daily commutes and hilly roads better than sedans, with decent space and running costs. However, rivals like the Mahindra XUV 3XO deliver more power, the Tata Nexon offers higher clearance, and the stablemate Carens matches the price with stronger performance. Kia's limited service network and unclear safety kit on this base trim hold it back.
Buy if you want Seltos styling and 200 mm clearance on a tighter budget, but compare HTK or rivals first.
