The new Kia Seltos gets a sharper look. The front features Kia’s updated digital take on the tiger-nose grille, finished in gloss black with dark metallic detailing. The lighting setup has been revised too, with vertical LED elements and squared-off headlamps placed at the edges of the grille.

From the side, new 18-inch alloy wheels, flush door handles and updated cladding add a fresh touch. At the rear, redesigned LED tail-lamps are connected by a full-width light bar. Wheel options vary by variant, ranging from 16-inch steel wheels to 17- and 18-inch alloys.

The cabin feels familiar yet more tech-focused. The dashboard layout includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 5.0-inch HVAC display, all tied together by a large 30-inch Trinity Panoramic Display Panel. Kia has added features like a dual-tone steering wheel, ventilated front seats with memory and relaxation modes, rear reclining seats and a head-up display. You also get drive and traction modes, a Bose 8-speaker audio system, 64-colour ambient lighting and wireless phone charging.

Connectivity and convenience remain a strong point. The new Seltos supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Smart Key Proximity Unlock and Kia Connect 2.0 with connected features and Over-the-Air updates. These additions aim to make daily driving and long trips easier, especially for buyers who like staying connected on the move.
