Kia Seltos Facelift India Launch To Take Place In 2023: Here Are The Changes

The Kia Seltos is one of the most popular SUVs in the segment. The Seltos is the one vehicle that can be credited with establishing Kia's brand in the Indian market. Kia announced its Indian debut in 2017 when it started construction of its manufacturing plant. Two years later, the brand launched its first product and production of the Kia Seltos began.

Over the next three years, the Kia Seltos became very popular. The SUV hit the right notes with younger buyers. Kia is one of the most reputed car manufacturers in the world and the Seltos came equipped with lots of new features that were way ahead of the competition back then.

While the Seltos is still pretty modern and well-equipped, the SUV is now a little old and due for a facelift. The facelift in question has already been launched in Kia's home country and according to reports is well on the way to the American market. Kia retails some of its best products in America and it is quite obvious that the latest Seltos has to be launched there as well.

Kia manufactures the Seltos in India and another variant of it is made in South Korea. This shows just how important the Indian market is, for Kia. India is one of the largest markets for Kia Motor and Kia is among the top three manufacturers in India. Hence, the arrival of the facelifted Seltos in India is of utmost importance.

The facelift does not bring any major changes to the Seltos. Instead, it is a nip and a tuck to make the SUV look better. The front fascia has been updated with a larger grille. The new grille even gets illuminated accents to give it a futuristic appearance. The front bumper too has been redesigned.

At the rear, the taillights are new and are now connected by an LED strip. The rear bumper too has undergone a redesign. Inside the Seltos are a few new changes. This includes the new updated 10.25-inch infotainment unit. The instrument cluster too is now a modern 10.25-inch display.

We do not expect the facelifted Kia Seltos to feature any mechanical changes. In the Indian market, it will still be powered by the same 1.4-litre turbo petrol, 1.5-litre turbo-diesel and 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engines.

The Kia Seltos is one of the most popular cars in the Indian market and has built a great brand image for the South Korean manufacturer. While sales are still going strong with the current Kia Seltos, the arrival of the facelift will further bolster sales figures and increase numbers.
