Kia India has today announced the launch of the facelifted Seltos in the domestic market. It carries a starting price of Rs. 10.89 lakh for the base variant and it goes all the way up to Rs. 19.99 lakh for the range-topping model (both prices, ex-showroom). The Seltos has played an integral role in the brand garnering over 5 lakh unit sales in India since its inception.

The Seltos has helped establish Kia as one of the key players in the Indian market.

It is accompanied by two dual-tone colours (white and red colours with black roof) along with an exclusive Matte edition in the X-Line trim. The cabin comes with new HVAC vents and climatic controls, an all-black theme in the X-Line trim and dual-tone in the Tech Line, and a curved display integrating the 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a digital cluster.

The equipment list comprises a dual-zone automatic climate control system, a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree camera system, Level 2 ADAS based driver-assistive and safety technologies and so on. The 1.5L four-cylinder petrol and the 1.5L four-cylinder turbo diesel engines have been retained producing 115 PS and 144 Nm, and 116 PS and 250 Nm respectively.

An all-new 1.5L turbocharged petrol engine has been added to the lineup and it kicks out a maximum power output of 160 PS and 253 Nm of peak torque. The powertrain is linked with a six-speed iMT or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
