HomeNewsKia Seltos Facelift Launch Likely In July 2023

Published : 29 May 2023

Read Time : 5 min

Kia India are likely to launch the updated Seltos facelift in July 2023. The updated model was spotted on test multiple times in recent months and it features multiple design and functional changes. Read on to know more about the upcoming 2023 Kia Seltos facelift.

Kia Seltos Facelift

2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Design Changes 

The Seltos facelift boasts a couple of design changes at the front and rear. Up front, it gets a larger grille with a new mesh pattern. The LED headlights get a revision and sit a little lower whereas the LED DRLs now find their way inside the grille rather than sitting atop the grille like in the current model. The lower bumper also gets a revision but the ice-cubed fog lights remain unchanged.

Around the side, the Seltos facelift remains similar to the current model save for the new design for the 18-inch alloy wheels. At the rear, the Seltos facelift features bigger LED taillamps and gains a connected LED light bar in between. The facelift makes the SUV look a lot fresher and bolder over the current Seltos. A spy video of the Seltos facelift also revealed the presence of sequential turn indicators.

2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Interior And Features

The upcoming India-bound Seltos facelift could feature a connected, twin-screen setup. Each screen could measure up to 10.25-inches in size, similar to the ones in the all-electric Kia EV6. Furthermore, the dashboard could also get a few revisions along with a generous use of soft-touch materials. In terms of features, the Seltos is already a fairly-loaded SUV and we could see the addition of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) features with the facelift. A recent spy shot of the Seltos facelift also confirmed the presence of a panoramic sunroof in the C-segment SUV.

2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Powertrain Details

The 2023 Kia Seltos is likely to offer the same set of normal petrol and turbo diesel engine options as the current model. Furthermore, Kia could also offer the new 1.5L turbo petrol engine in the Seltos as a replacement for the now discontinued 1.35L (1.4L in Kia’s speak)  turbo petrol engine. The new 1.5L turbo petrol engine already powers other Kia and Hyundai offerings like the Kia Carens, Hyundai Alcazar and new Verna sedan. It remains to be seen whether the Seltos will offer a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed auto-clutch manual transmission (ACMT) with the 1.5L turbo petrol engine.

2023 Kia Seltos Facelift India Launch Timeline

As we stated earlier, Kia are likely to launch the Seltos facelift around July 2023. Hence, we can expect Kia dealerships to start unofficial bookings for the upcoming SUV in June 2023. The Seltos facelift will continue to go up against the likes of the Hyundai Creta, MG Astor, Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder.
