2023 Kia Seltos facelift ready for launch in India

Written by Kanad Kalasur

The upcoming Kia Seltos Facelift has been spotted without camouflage on Indian roads. This could mean that the Korean carmaker is ready to launch the facelift version of the SUV in India soon. Visually, it is slightly different from the international-spec Kia Seltos.

The Seltos in the image gets a bigger bumper, extra cladding and fog lamp inserts in body colour. Kia has updated the headlights as well and they now get new LED DRLs. The DRLs extend into the grille. Further, keen observers will note a small housing at the bottom which could house ADAS radar.

On the sides, we can see that the car is wearing the same alloy as the current car. It could be possible that Kia will reveal the car officially with another design.

Towards the back, there is an updated bumper, body-coloured reverse housing panels and two exhaust tips. It is possible that the variant in the photos is a higher trim and there could be other variants as well.

The Kia Seltos now gets a dual screen layout. It will also get a digital instrument cluster. The dashboard design will also get minor changes including slimmer AC vents. The AC controls have also been refreshed.

Occupants inside the car will now get a larger panoramic sunroof as well. Kia is likely to offer six airbags and a host of other features like hill-assist control and vehicle stability control as standard across the range.

ADAS features could be limited to the top trims.
