Details

The 2023 Seltos will offer a host of upgrades, including a new 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine, a sportier design, a panoramic sunroof, and ADAS. The vehicle will be launched later this month.

Scenario

To survive the growing competition from rival brands, Kia Motors has decided to introduce the facelifted Seltos with upgraded exterior and interior, along with added safety equipment and features.

Design Revamp

The 2023 Kia Seltos will retain the overall presence of the outgoing model but with a larger grille, updated LED DRLs, a tweaked bumper with fog light housings, and new alloy wheels.

Engine

The new Seltos will be powered by a 1.5-liter turbo petrol unit, likely mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox or 7-speed DCT. The mill will generate around 160hp of power and 253Nm of torque.

Safety

The facelifted Seltos will include an ADAS package with blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, and more.

Launch

The existing Seltos is priced in the range of Rs. 10.89-19.65 lakh (ex-showroom). However, given the upgrades, we expect the new 2023 model to carry a higher price tag over the outgoing model.
