The Kia Seltos has outperformed many established and new compact SUVs in terms of sales.

With these numbers, the Kia Seltos has outperformed many other compact SUVs on sale in the Indian market, in-turn inching really close to the segment leader- the Hyundai Creta in terms of sales. In fact, it has recorded over twofold sales as compared to MG Motor that has sold over 3500 units of the Hector SUV in the same month and has received over 38,000 bookings in the domestic market since its launch. That said, the Chinese carmaker has been facing production constraints and had to close bookings for a short period which might have affected its volumes marginally.
