2023 Kia Seltos Facelift
Bookings for the 2023 Kia Seltos facelift have now been commenced for a token amount of Rs 25,000.
Interested customers can make their reservations either online or at authorised Kia dealerships.
Kia has also introduced a new K-Code system for priority delivery.
How to get a K-Code for Kia Seltos’s booking
To get a K-Code, customers can connect with an existing Seltos owner and ask them to generate a K-code on Kia’s official website.
A K-Code will be unique for each customer, so make sure that your unique K-Code isn’t shared with anyone else.
With the K-code, you can significantly reduce the delivery waiting period of your Kia Seltos compared to those who made their bookings without any K-Code.
2023 Kia Seltos Facelift – What’s New?
For a facelift update, the Kia Seltos has received some significant design changes as well as plenty of new features.
Upfront, the SUV now gets a new tiger-nose grille with revamped lighting system and front bumper.
Towards the back, it receives a new LED taillamp setup, along with a reprofiled tailgate and sportier bumper. GT Line and X-Line variants also receive a new dual-tip exhaust setup.
The side profile of the car remains largely unchanged save for the new 18-inch alloy wheels that were earlier limited to the X-Line trim.
Changes are more significant inside the cabin. It sports new dual-integrated 10.25-inch screens for the infotainment and digital driver’s display.
It also gets dual-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, and radar-&-camera-based Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) for active safety features like adaptive cruise control, auto emergency braking, forward-collision warning, lane-keep assist, auto emergency braking, and much more.
Other key features of the upgraded Seltos include ventilated front seats, a wireless charger, an air purifier, ambient lighting, six airbags, electronic stability control, a 360-degree camera and a tyre pressure monitoring system.
When it comes to powertrain options, the SUV receives a new 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine (160PS/253Nm) with 6-speed iMT and 7-speed DCT transmission options. Besides, the 1.5-litre petrol (115PS/144Nm) and 1.5-litre diesel (116PS/250Nm) engines are continue on offer.
Kia is expected to launch the new Seltos later this month, with prices likely to start from around Rs 11 lakh (ex-showroom).
Once launched, it will resume its rivalry with the Hyundai Creta, MG Astor, Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, and the upcoming Honda Elevate.
