KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Kia Seltos facelift official Indian debut on July 4th
- To get a tweaked front and rear facia
- New features like ADAS, Panoramic sunroof, and more incoming
Kia Seltos facelift is one of the most anticipated launches of 2023. And with spy shots one after another, it adds to the already hyped-up launch. This is considering the fact that Kia Seltos recently hit the 5 lakh sales milestone in just a span of 46 months, which is a benchmark for the SUV that enjoys a massive loyal fanbase. But, now with info about the outside, we have a good enough idea about what's changing on the inside.
Inferences from the spy images and sources, we tell you the new features that are coming with the Seltos facelift.
1. Kia Selto Facelift- ADAS Is Here
Yes! What Mahindra XUV700 started in the mass market segment is now sliding into all other segments as well. The Kia Seltos facelift is coming with a host of ADAS features. If reports are to be believed, it can bring up to 16 features with it. Skipping the part where some might debate if this is a needed feature or not, it definitely attracts more footfall to the showrooms.
2. Fully-Digital Instrument Cluster
Say goodbye to the dual pod analog cluster and say hi to a fully digital one with the Seltos facelift. The current model gets a single-pane dashboard unit, where the analog cluster and the infotainment screen are currently placed. The facelift will get a dual-screen single-panel setup at the front that will look a lot more techy than before.

3. Panoramic Sunroof
Another update is the inclusion of a panoramic sunroof, finally. Since Hyundai Creta had this feature, Seltos fanboys/ girls were asking for one too. Looks like their requests are heard, and a panoramic sunroof is here. It was spotted just recently where the fully wrapped unit could be seen having a big sunroof. Nice addition right?
4. First In Segment With Dual-Zone Climate Control
Since automatic climate control is now a common addition, the Seltos facelift is coming with a dual-zone climate control set-up. This is a key takeaway from whatever can be inferred from a spy shot of the cabin. A dual-zone climate set-up and fresh HVAC controls are visible. With its launch, it would be the first in the segment with 2-zone auto ac control.
5. Features Carry Forward- HUD, Rain Sensing Wipers, And More
Seltos is never related to a dearth of features. It currently offers a host of premium features such as a wireless charger, ventilated seats, a 360-degree surround view camera, a blind view monitor, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. On top of this, air purifiers, rain-sensing wipers, HUDs, and more features take its tech quotient a notch up. These all are making their way with the new model as well.
VERDICT- When you talk about features, Kia Seltos is a robust package. With all the tech it got earlier, the South Korean carmaker is taking it up a notch this time again. Be ready to watch the rivals sweat a bit on its launch. However, the Hyundai Creta facelift is also gearing up to take on the challenge in the coming future.
