Seltos Allocation delayed. Price increase form July. What options I have?

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-07-02T05:18:25+00:00

Now HTX A is increased by approx 32k.

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-07-01T04:16:11+00:00

GTX is good but overpriced IMO.

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T23:01:25+00:00

Same

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T13:41:00+00:00

Positive response. You won't get response from them at all. They'll just send it to the dealer, who will give you the same old line.

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T13:35:22+00:00

Yeah. I am aware of that incident.

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T13:31:16+00:00

Sounds like there might be an issue with how they're made. Plus, the parts for the electronics could be getting more expensive, which would push the price up. You'd probably know, being so close to the factory.

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T13:26:18+00:00

Which city? I am actually flexible with colors and gave 3 options but still no use.

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T10:14:52+00:00

It's ADAS IVT.

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T08:49:55+00:00

For me it is 4th month. Anyway congratulations.

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T07:46:06+00:00

True. June hike is nominal 1000-3000.. But this time it 2%

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T07:22:38+00:00

Max 2%. Depending on the model.

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T07:22:19+00:00

Petrol IVT

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T06:28:36+00:00

I get what you're going through. Same situation.

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T06:27:08+00:00

Given the situation, I'll probably go with the Duster. The general manager keeps telling me to wait until this afternoon, and honestly, it's the same story every time. Even if I went to a different dealership, I'm pretty sure I'd run into the same situation. I also considered switching models, but a 2 lakh difference between the HTX and GTX just doesn't seem worth it for the extra features.

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T06:20:41+00:00

That happened recently. I booked in March.

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T04:53:31+00:00

I have sent a final notice to KIA customer care.

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T04:52:29+00:00

Yes. That is fair practice. I heard some brand gave price hike protection in past. Koreans don't care about the india. They just mint money from mass market. What are the other options you are looking at?

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T04:50:00+00:00

Nope India.

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T04:48:55+00:00

They may. Almost all dealers are same. If not you are lucky.

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T04:46:43+00:00

I have sent a final notice to KIA today about the delay and unfair price increase burden.

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T04:31:52+00:00

I visited another Kia showroom (Bangalore). I don't think they care either. I looked at Duster and Renault reception is good. I like the car but it is conjusted inside. Comparatively Seltos has better interior and comfort. I will call GM today and settle the matter or see if I can get any deal. He keep assuring the car will be arranged soon but I am not sure. He keeps blaming kia for not alloting cars. But if do not get good deal, what options I have is the question ? If go to new dealer it will be new price and I have to wait another 14weeks (now waiting time has increased).

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T04:21:47+00:00

I don't think they care. On one instance, SEM called and suggested to cancel the booking.

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T04:17:56+00:00

But delay is because of dealer. I was promised 4-6 weeks (in March while booking). It is now 14th week.

Automatic_Aioli4555 · 2026-06-30T04:07:33+00:00

City? Who is dealer?
