Kia India have removed the ACMT variants of the Seltos from their website. The Seltos petrol was on offer with the ACMT option and it was later followed by the launch of the diesel ACMT option. Currently, the transmission options on Kia's website only include manual, CVT, torque converter and dual-clutch automatic transmission options.
Kia India offered the ACMT transmission with the HTK+ variants powered by the 1.5L normal petrol and the 1.5L turbo diesel engine options. While we can not confirm whether the ACMT options have been discontinued for good or not, Kia’s India website doesn’t offer the option of the ACMT transmision with with any of the variants, and has been completely delisted from the configurator.

The Seltos’ sibling, the Hyundai Creta continues to offer the ACMT option with the 1.5L normal petrol engine. Hyundai are yet to offer the Creta diesel with the ACMT option. However, if Kia have indeed discontinued the ACMT variants from the Seltos, we expect Hyundai India to remove it from the Creta.
