2023 Kia Seltos: The updated version of the Seltos is likely to come out on the Indian market by the middle of this year or in the third quarter. Even though the release date hasn’t been confirmed, the 2023 Kia Seltos will have changes inside and out. It will be the first major update for the midsize SUV since it came out in 2019.

The front fascia has a new grille section, headlamps, and LED Daytime Running Lights. Other changes to the outside include new alloy wheels, new LED tail lamps connected by an LED light bar, a new rear bumper and tailgate, and so on.
