Which Kia Seltos variant gives the best mileage?
The HTK+ / HTX 1.5 Diesel MT variant is the most fuel-efficient, returning approximately 17.6 km/l in real-world conditions against an ARAI rating of 20.7 km/l.
What is the fuel tank capacity of the Kia Seltos?

Why is my Kia Seltos giving less mileage than the ARAI figure?
ARAI testing happens in a lab on a chassis dynamometer with the air conditioning off, no passengers and no traffic. Real Indian driving adds AC load, stop-go traffic, passenger weight and cold starts, which together cost 20-30%. A Kia Seltos owner seeing 17.6 km/l is getting an entirely normal result.
