Engine & Performance
Kia Seltos, the popular compact SUV, has not only received updates to its design and features but also witnessed changes under the hood. The new model continues to offer the reliable 1.5 petrol and diesel engines, but it now flaunts a fresh turbo-petrol option, replacing the previous 1.4 T-GDi motor.
Turbo-Petrol Powerhouse: Enhanced Performance
The latest turbo-petrol engine impresses with its 1.5-litre capacity, delivering a robust 160hp and 253Nm of torque. Compared to its predecessor, it flaunts an additional 20hp and 11Nm, establishing it as a class-leading performer. Paired with a smooth 7-speed DCT (Dual-Clutch Transmission), the power delivery remains linear, offering a genuinely quick experience, especially in Sport mode.
The engine's ability to re-match during downshifting adds a touch of entertainment to the driving experience. However, some jerkiness at slower speeds may occur during frequent acceleration and deceleration. Despite this, the turbo-petrol DCT proves to be a favourite among driving enthusiasts.
Refined Diesel Option: Ideal for Long Cruises
For those seeking a refined and efficient driving experience, the 1.5 diesel with the 6-speed torque converter stands out. Generating 116hp and 250Nm, this engine has been updated to meet BS6 Phase II standards, offering a slight increase in power output.
Its smooth performance makes it a great choice for long highway cruises, emphasizing refinement and fuel efficiency. Although it lacks the punch of the turbo-petrol, the diesel-auto powertrain compensates with its seamless driving experience.
Wide Range of Powertrain Options: More to Discover
Alongside the turbo-petrol DCT and refined diesel-auto options, the Kia Seltos lineup includes a 115hp, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, available with either a 6-speed manual or a CVT automatic. Additionally, the Turbo-iMT and diesel-manual configurations are also part of the selection, though we didn't get a chance to test them yet. Nevertheless, we anticipate these powertrains to offer their unique driving experiences, complementing the Seltos' versatile appeal.
The Kia Seltos presents an enticing array of powertrain options, catering to diverse driving preferences. With the new turbo-petrol engine delivering an exhilarating performance and the refined diesel auto ensuring a smooth highway cruise, the Seltos continues to charm SUV enthusiasts with its versatile lineup. For those seeking additional driving experiences, exploring the naturally aspirated petrol and other configurations could be the next exciting adventure.
Exterior Design
Kia's Seltos, already a handsome SUV, has undergone subtle yet impactful changes in its facelift. The updates embrace an evolutionary approach, enhancing the car's contemporary appeal while retaining its distinctive aesthetics.
Front Facia
At the forefront, the new Seltos boasts a larger iteration of Kia's signature 'tiger nose' front grille, elevating its commanding presence. The bumper and headlights have been tweaked, with a fresh LED Daytime Running Lamp signature that now sits lower while extending into the grille. The fog lamps flaunt a four-block pattern, a refined departure from the previous three-block arrangement.
Sleek Side Profile
While the changes on the sides are more subtle, the GT Line variants sport the same 18-inch alloys as the pre-facelift X-Line, accentuating its sporty demeanour. The black plastic cladding on the lower doors now features body-coloured detailing, lending a touch of sophistication.
Rear Refinements
The rear design stands out as the most apparent evolution in the facelifted Seltos. A connected light bar replaces the chrome strip, gracefully spanning the width of the tailgate. Vertical tail lights further enhance the modern aesthetics.
The redesigned bumper integrates reversing lights and body-coloured inserts, complemented by sequential turn signals. The introduction of the alluring 'Pewter Olive' paint shade adds another dimension of allure.
Distinct Variants with Unique Features
The Seltos continue to be offered in three variant lines - Tech Line, GT Line, and X Line. The higher-spec GT Line and X Line showcase slight differences in their body kits, including front grille inserts, bumpers, body-coloured inserts, skid plates, and larger 18-inch alloys.
The turbo-petrol versions within these lines feature twin exhaust tips, signifying their performance-oriented nature. The GT Line, having shed the red detailing, exudes a more sophisticated demeanour.
A Lasting Impression
The Kia Seltos facelift exudes a refined evolution in its exterior design. The enhancements to the front facia, sleek side profile, and striking rear light bar elevate the SUV's overall aesthetics.
Distinct variant lines add versatility to the Seltos, catering to different preferences. With a compelling road presence and a more upmarket aura, the Seltos continues to captivate SUV enthusiasts with its refreshed appearance.
Interior & Features
The facelifted Kia Seltos welcomes passengers with an upgraded and tech-savvy interior, featuring a striking dual-screen setup that immediately captures attention. Let's delve into the noteworthy enhancements and impressive features of this SUV's cabin.
Curved Dual-Screen Setup
The standout feature inside the Seltos facelift is undoubtedly the curved dual-screen setup for the dials and infotainment. The 10.25-inch screens offer high resolution, swift responsiveness, and vibrant colours. The absence of a binnacle over the cluster improves cabin visibility, benefiting shorter drivers. The cluster retains an analogue-style appearance, blending the charm of classic dials with modern technology. Additionally, the font and design change based on the selected drive mode, enhancing the overall experience.
Slick Touchscreen and Smart Connectivity
The touchscreen in the Seltos is one of the slickest in its segment, boasting wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, along with Hinglish voice commands. OTA updates keep the system up-to-date with the latest advancements.
The split-screen layout remains, allowing users to multitask, accessing multiple functions simultaneously, such as music and navigation. The steering controls have undergone minimal changes, now incorporating new buttons for the ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) settings.
Cleaner Dashboard and Premium Touches
Kia has refined the dashboard design, complementing the dual-screen setup, creating a cleaner and more sophisticated look. The slimmer AC vents and well-arranged HVAC and audio controls add to the neat appearance.
Small yet impactful details, such as the rotary dials for audio and steering switches, exude high-quality craftsmanship. The upholstery has been thoughtfully updated in the GT Line variants, offering an all-black theme with white inserts, stitching, and GT line logos.
Comfort and Spaciousness
The front seats are generously cushioned and supportive, providing ample comfort even for larger individuals. Extensive adjustability options for the seats and steering ensure finding the ideal driving position is effortless. In the rear, passengers are greeted with ample space, boasting adequate headroom and knee room, making it accommodating for taller passengers. The backseat comfortably seats three adults, equipped with rear AC vents, retractable window blinds, and a reclining rear backrest.
Tech Innovations and Interior Color Variations
Kia has added some exciting tech upgrades, including type-C charging ports and an updated air purifier with touch capacitive buttons for convenient control. One-touch up/down operation for all windows enhances practicality. The variant lines offer distinct interior colour schemes, catering to various preferences, with options such as black and white, black and brown, and more. However, the array of choices may leave buyers overwhelmed.
A Refreshing and Feature-Rich Choice
The interior of the Kia Seltos facelift has undergone meaningful upgrades, offering a refined driving experience packed with modern technology and convenience features. The dual-screen setup, smart connectivity options, and thoughtful touches make this SUV's cabin an appealing space for both drivers and passengers. With its spacious and comfortable seating arrangements, the Seltos continues to impress as a versatile and feature-rich choice in the highly competitive SUV market.
The facelifted Kia Seltos presents notable improvements in both safety and comfort, delivering an elevated driving experience for enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike. Let's dive into the key enhancements that make the Seltos facelift a reliable and comfortable companion on the road.
Refined Ride and Handling Dynamics
Kia has made significant changes to the ride and handling of the Seltos, particularly in the GT Line variants. With larger 18-inch alloys and a revamped suspension setup, the facelift exhibits improved road performance. The front damping has been stiffened to enhance handling, while the rear damping has been softened for better ride comfort, as stated by the manufacturer.
Comfortable and Composed Ride
On the road, the Seltos facelift impresses with its composed ride quality, proving itself as comfortable as its predecessor, if not better. The SUV maintains composure at all speeds, offering a stable and smooth ride. Although it might feel slightly jittery and stiff at slow speeds with just the driver on board, it's likely to become more compliant with additional passengers and luggage.
Handling Around Bends
While the majority of the drive involved highway cruising, the Seltos facelift displayed commendable balance around bends. Its body movements remain in check, creating a confident and predictable driving experience. The steering, although lacking in feedback, provides decent weight in Sport mode, contributing to a controlled driving feel.
Efficient Braking Performance
The facelifted Seltos is equipped with progressive brakes that deliver strong stopping power and a reassuring pedal feel. Drivers can confidently maneuvers and navigate various road conditions, knowing that the brakes offer dependable performance when needed.
A Balanced and Comfortable Ride
The Kia Seltos facelift has successfully improved its ride and handling dynamics, delivering a balanced and comfortable ride on the road. The revised suspension setup, larger wheels, and attention to damping create a smooth and composed driving experience. Whether cruising on the highway or tackling bends, the Seltos facelift offers confidence and stability. Paired with its efficient braking system, this SUV proves itself a reliable choice for those seeking both safety and comfort in their driving endeavours.
