2020 Kia Seltos SUV gets updated with new features, prices start at INR 9.89 lakh

The Kia Seltos has been an instant hit in the Indian car market. This SUV single-handedly gave the brand enough recognition to put many other established car manufacturers behind in the sales race in the Indian market. To keep up with the competition, Kia has now refreshed the Seltos SUV for 2020 with new features. This is not a facelift, but a comprehensive model year update to rival competition which includes the all-new Hyundai Creta and the Nissan Kicks which also got a refresh.

Features such as dual exhaust muffler design, printed dashboard garnish, USB charger on front tray, leatherette interior upholstery, metal scuff plate, rear USB charger, sunroof with LED room lamps, leatherette gear knob, etc. are not available on many variants of the 2020 Seltos.
