The new Kia Seltos, which was put on the stage at the Los Angeles Auto Show after its first announcement, will continue on the road with minor infrastructure revisions as well as its design.
Seltos, one of the newest faces in Kia’s global product range, is a candidate to be one of the important players, especially in the American market. The model, which was put into make-up operation with the focus of updating after 3 years since its debut on the roads, is presented to users for the first time as part of the Los Angeles Auto Show. For the product range, which was first announced last summer, some new information was shared with the organization of the show at the fair. On the design side, the touches under the hood of the vehicle, which is much more remarkable and smells premium, are also in front of us.
Economic engine choices are offered with the new Kia Seltos
When we look under the hood of Seltos, we see that the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is positioned at the entry level. With this engine, which produces 149 PS power and 180 Nm torque, a more efficient turbocharged option can be preferred. The 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder machine is here with a power value of 198 PS. It is also remarkable that Kia has switched to an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox instead of 7-speed in this engine. The package, which includes Kia’s latest generation active and passive driver assistance assistants, will also be presented here without loss.

In Seltos, where aluminum alloy parts have been increased in the exterior with the make-up, the perception of quality is tried to be taken one step higher. At the rear, there are at least as serious changes as the front. Having completely overhauled the lighting panel in this part of the vehicle, Kia adapts to the fashion of the period by extending the taillights to the logo in line style. The X-Line equipment package added to the family will also host 18-inch generic design wheels. The cockpit of Seltos is also equipped with a new system that we can remember from Sportage. The 10.25-inch multimedia panel and the 10.25-inch driver’s display combine beautifully in a single frame.
