With the update, Seltos petrol variants equipped with the 1.5L normal petrol engine are now available with a 6-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). While the petrol variants of the Seltos are no longer available with the ACMT, it is now the standard transmission option for the diesel variants.

Along with the 1.5L petrol ACMT, Kia have also delisted the 1.35L turbo petrol engine (1.4L in Kia’s speak) from their India website. The 1.35L turbo petrol engine was earlier offered with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Since the discontinuation of the turbo petrol engine, the top variants of the Seltos are now only available with the diesel engine.
