Exterior Design

The styling of the Kia Seltos features the new Kia family design language, officially called Opposites United, and the actual look and feel is more refined and youthful, but maintains the rigidity of its predecessor, the KX3’s bones.

The lines of the body feature more pronounced creases in several places. For example, the hood at the front, the side waistline and the rear luggage compartment. The horizontal lines make the body outline slightly square, revealing a bit of wild flavor.

The design of the front grille and LED daytime running lights are the design highlights of the entire car. The wider tiger grille, both left and right sides are interspersed with a section of LED light bands, plus the daytime running lights are like the rhythm of the heartbeat, this section of the extended light bands just to extend the heartbeat rhythm of the tail. This design gives the front face a touch of dynamism, but also an important feature to increase the vehicle’s recognizability.
Tail is more common through the tail lamps, and K5 and Sportage tail lamps are quite similar, only the thickness is different.

Interior Design

The interior of the Kia Seltos also has a similar layout to the Sportage, with somewhat more simplified materials and design lines. The dual 10.25-inch connecting screen combination contains the dashboard and center control screen. Built-in Kia Connect and Baidu Intelligent Connectivity System 3.0 in one operating system, and can be upgraded with S-OTA to ensure that the system is always new.

Power

Seltos offers two power combinations: 1.4T+7DCT and 1.5L+IVT. The 1.4T model has a maximum horsepower of 140Ps and the 1.5L Smartstream engine has a maximum horsepower of 115Ps.

The 1.5L model is matched with the IVT transmission, which is a CVT transmission that replaces the steel belt with a steel chain, with the benefit of being able to carry more torque and better power when accelerating, while still ensuring good power smoothness.
