Delhi : The Seltos, Kia India's introduction to the Indian market, was a resounding success. The outstanding SUV reached the amazing milestone of 5,00,000 total sales in a record-breaking 46 months. The tale in the fiercely competitive midsize SUV sector moves ahead with the introduction of the new 2023 Seltos in July of this year. With a record 13,424 pre-bookings on Day 1, it is on track to surpass the accomplishments of its forerunner. But specifically, what is it about the new Seltos that is so alluring? Let's examine this SUV's development in great detail.

The Kia Seltos makes a compelling argument for automobiles that may be aesthetically appealing without sacrificing functionality. The distinctive "Tiger Nose" grille appears in a new, bolder iteration on the Seltos, which is designed in accordance with Kia's "Opposites United" guiding principle. The "Crown Jewel" LED headlights are also present on the Seltos. Its 18-inch crystal-cut alloy wheels give it a brooding muscularity, and the LED taillights with star maps complete a look that combines modernity with durability. The Seltos' delightfully roomy five seats are equipped with several useful features, including a 433-liter trunk.

Powerlift compatibility for drivers 

A brand-new 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine with a 7-speed DCT transmission is at the core of the system, producing 160 horsepower and 253 Nm of torque for lightning-fast performance. For those who prefer manual transmissions, Kia also offers the new engine with a 6-speed iMT gearbox. The selection of engines is completed by the tried-and-true 1.5-liter diesel and gasoline engines.

Advance technology

The Seltos leverages technology to not just set new standards for safety, but also to create an in-cabin experience unlike any other. What we are looking at is a class-leading set of goodies, including a dual-zone fully automated air conditioner, a dual-pane sunroof to let in the sunshine, and a 10.25-inch HD touchscreen navigation and digital instrument cluster.

Safety perspective

How can modern technology be used to make automobiles safer? With its Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System, Kia leads the way. 17 autonomous technologies, including Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Blind Spot Collision Warning, Front Collision Warning, and Lane Keep Assist, are included in the Seltos' ADAS. One of India's safest SUVs may be had by adding a number of basic safety equipment including six airbags, ESC, and Hill-Start Assist Control.
