Kia is providing benefits worth up to Rs 60,000 on the Seltos SUV to commemorate its 5th anniversary in India. To sweeten the deal, the company has also included an exclusive 5-year warranty with the SUV. However, it is important to note that the full details of these celebratory benefits are yet to be disclosed. Interested buyers can get in touch with their closest authorised dealership to learn more about the offer.
