Kia will be launching MY23 Seltos facelift in India on 4th July, 2023. The facelift Seltos has now been seen fully uncamouflaged just ahead of its launch. We can notice that the Indian-spec car looks slightly different from the overseas models. This could be due to the local preferences and needs of the market.
The top-end GT Line has been seen in these images. The SUV comes with a host of new exterior elements to give a refreshed look to the SUV. Major changes include a larger front grille, a rectangular lower grille and ADAS radar at the front. The LED headlights now house four elements instead of the outgoing car’s three. The fog lamp casing has been updated as well.
At the back, the SUV gets vertical LED lights along with an all-width LED light bar. The rear also gets triangular exhaust vents along with a skid plate.
Feature-set of the new Seltos will include a panoramic sunroof, radar-based ADAS tech and more. The ADAS suite could have forward collision detection / avoidance, blind spot detection, lane assist, driver attention assist and safe exit assist amongst others.
The new Seltos will also have six airbags and a host of other safety features like hill-assist control and vehicle stability control as standard across the range.
As the GT Line is positioned as the Sporty variant, this car could come with a 1.5-litre turbo petrol motor good for 160 PS and 253 Nm. It could be offered with 6 iMT or a 7-speed DCT gearbox. The same engine already does duty on the Kia Carens and the Hyundai Verna.
Other engines on the Seltos will include the 1.5-litre petrol engine rated at 115 HP along with the 1.5-litre diesel good for 116 HP.
