Presenting the all-new Kia Seltos. Though Kia as a brand has only been around in India since 2019, the Seltos has put Kia ahead of its competition. Every 1 out of 10 Kia cars sold globally is a Seltos, and the Seltos contributes up to 50-60% to Kia’s sales in India. The Seltos is India’s second highest-selling mid-size SUV, and its sales figures have only increased. As if it wasn’t feature-packed already, now, for 2023, it comes even more feature-packed and loaded, but more on that later. As a Mumbaikar, time is of the essence, and traffic waits for no one. So, without any delay, I hopped inside my swanky SUV and hit the highway heading to Daman.
Daman is a union territory located about 170 kms away from Mumbai. Once under Portuguese rule for about 400 years, traces of Portuguese influence can be seen in the architecture and lifestyle of the people of Daman. It was liberated by India back in 1961 and became a union territory in 1987. It is a perfect getaway for those who desire a weekend trip away from the hustle and bustle of a city in the company of sand, sea and sun. Though the day was hot and the road was long, the well-bolstered seats and ventilation helped beat the heat and drive off fatigue. The road we took was the Mumbai-Gujarat highway, a well-paved tarmac. Crossing the Mumbai and Gujarat borders, I finalised our first destination in Daman.
