2023 Kia Seltos Facelift expected facelift details

For the 2023 model, a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine will reportedly replace the current 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine, which is capable of producing a maximum power output of 140 PS and 242 Nm of peak torque. The current unit might not comply with the stricter RDE (Real Driving Emission) requirements, which is the reason for the upgrade.

When it arrives, the larger engine will probably be mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It will produce about 160 PS and 260 Nm. The midsize SUV was the first vehicle the South Korean manufacturer released in India back in 2019. It is presently the second best-selling model in its segment.

Features

A twin-screen configuration with connectivity could be included in the next Seltos makeover that will be sold in India. Similar to the screens in the all-electric Kia EV6, each screen could have a maximum size of 10.25 inches. In addition, the dashboard might benefit from a few changes and a heavy dose of soft-touch components. The Seltos is a very feature-loaded SUV currently, but the facelift may bring the inclusion of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) capabilities. The C-segment SUV’s panoramic sunroof is present, according to a recent spy photo of the Seltos facelift.

Expected launch date

The Seltos facelift will go on sale in July 2023, but the automaker is yet to announce when it will go on sale. But because August 2023 marks the anniversaries of both Kia and Seltos, we believe that August is the ideal month to introduce the updated Seltos.
