Next-Gen Kia Seltos Snapped Testing In India, Revealing Redesigned Face

Kia has been planning to roll out the second-gen Seltos in India. The next-gen Kia Seltos has now been snapped testing, and the camouflage test mule reveals a few details about the exterior of the SUV. It now gets a revised front fascia, rear and new set of alloy wheels. Also, the upcoming iteration of the Seltos is expected to get a hybrid powertrain.

Next-Gen Kia Seltos: Exterior, Design

The fully camouflage test mule of the Kia Seltos gives us a glimpse of the exterior and the design language. It gets most of the design elements from the previously launched Kia EV9 and Syros, as all the three cars are based on the brand's 'Opposites United' design language. The next-gen Kia Seltos consists of vertically stacked LED headlamp setup, slim and angular vertical LED DRLs, concave grille, a new fog-light housing, horizontal slats on the bumper and more.

Next-Gen Kia Seltos: Interior Expected

The test vehicle only reports about the overall exterior and design elements of the Kia Seltos, the interior specs and elements are still kept under the dark. However, the brand is likely to give more connected car features, advanced driver assistance and safety package, OTA software update capabilities and more.

Next-Gen Kia Seltos: Powertrain Expected

The brand has been tight-lipped about the engine and powertrain of the next-gen Kia Seltos. However, it is expected to retain the same power units as seen in the ongoing models- 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine as options. Also, Kia is expected to add a new hybrid engine option for the Kia Seltos, with a self charging hybrid setup. However, it might be slotted for a far sight, as the production is expected to start later in the year.
