The new generation Kia Seltos has been introduced with major changes inside and out, although the powertrain options remain the same as before
Kia India has officially announced the prices of the new generation Seltos. Its starting ex-showroom price has been kept at Rs 10.99 lakh, while the price of the top variant goes up to Rs 19.99 lakh. Its production has started at the Kia plant in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh. This SUV is based on the global K3 platform, which provides a stronger structure and better driving experience than before.
Because of this new platform, the security level has also become better than before. Features like six airbags, ABS, hill-start assist and electronic stability control are provided as standard in all variants. Level-2 ADAS with 21 autonomous features is also available in the top variants.
Talking about design, Kia’s ‘Opposites United’ design philosophy has been adopted in the new Seltos. The 4,460 mm length, wider stance and longer wheelbase give it better road presence and more cabin space. It has a digital tiger face, segment-first automatic flush door handles, ice cube LED projector headlamps and newly designed alloy wheels, which have been inspired by the Global Telluride.
