A comprehensive level of specification comes standard
EX models are fitted with a vast array of standard features including 16-inch alloy wheels, air-conditioning, automatic headlight control, cloth upholstery, steering wheel mounted remote controls, electric windows, cruise control and an eight-inch colour touchscreen infotainment system that incorporates a radio with RDS as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for smartphone mirroring.
EX+ specification adds leather upholstery, a centre armrest, as well as 17-inch alloy wheels. Seltos GT Line derivatives include the fitment of sporty satin chrome and red trim, with gloss black and satin chrome detailing on the front grille, as well as bespoke 17-inch crystal cut alloys and red brake callipers. All exterior lights are upgraded to full LED units with unique 3D layered indicators at the front. The interior is finished with bespoke GT-Line leather upholstery with matching embroidery, as well as a sporty D-shaped steering wheel and stainless-steel pedals. GT-Line models debut a new version of Kia’s Drive Mode Select system, which incorporates a 2WD Terrain Mode.
The Kia Seltos is fitted with a variety of active and passive safety systems that will ensure that you and your loved ones are not only comfortable but also protected in the event of an accident. Inherent to this is the vehicle’s safety shell design. All models are equipped with six airbags as standard as well as Isofix child seat anchors, ABS brakes, EBD, rear park distance control sensors and a reverse camera with dynamic guidelines integrated into the touchscreen infotainment system. EX+ and GT-Line models are also equipped with Electronic Stability Control and Hill-start Assist Control.
All Seltos models are sold with an unlimited kilometre/five-year warranty and a five-year/90 000km service plan, the balance of which are included with the sale of demo or pre-owned models.
Subhead: Modern design
From the front the wide tiger nose grille is flanked by striking headlamps that endow it with a sporty confident visage. This is bolstered by a robust shoulder line and a glasshouse that tapers towards the rear. Wheel arches are finished in black cladding to underline the crossover nature of the car. The rear bumper features a three-dimensional surface treatment along with an integrated metallic-look skid plate. All models are equipped with LED Daytime Running Lights at the front, as well as front fog
lamps. Higher specification models are fitted with LED fog lamps, headlights, indicators and taillights.
Inside story
The interior is characterised by broad sweeping shapes that incorporate various technical design details. The driver sits comfortably with a commanding view of the road ahead.
Under the bonnet
The Kia Seltos is available with three engine options. The first of those is the 1.6-litre Multi-point Injection engine that offers 90kW and 151Nm of torque allowing the Seltos to accelerate from standstill to 100km/h in 11,2 seconds on its way to a top speed of 175km/h. Along with this engine customers have a choice between a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission, depending on the specification grade.
The Seltos GT-Line is fitted with the 1.4-litre T-GDI engine, which develops 103kW and 242Nm of torque between 1 500 and 3 200rpm and is paired exclusively with a new generation seven-speed dual clutch transmission.
The Seltos CRDi is powered by Kia’s 1,5-litre UII common-rail direct injection engine, featuring a variable geometry turbocharger, that allows it to deliver 86kW and 250Nm between 1 500rpm and 2 750rpm. This engine offers a great balance between performance and fuel economy, with a range of over 1000km from a single tank.
