Kia Seltos SUV is definitely the next big thing once the MG Hector hype goes down from the midsize premium sports utility vehicle segment. The key factor that makes the upcoming SUV even more special than others is the use of premium components that even Hector missed for the Indian market. The most noticeable thing is the use of Bose speakers on the Seltos, making the car more acoustically-equipped for those who love listening to different genres of music during their everyday drives. The recently spied images for the Kia Seltos interior confirms that the car features an all-black premium finish with contrast stitching for a sportier feel.
The twin rear AC vents are well-highlighted and helps both left, as well as the right side passenger, control the direction of airflow. The legroom looks promising for the rear seat as the reverse C-shaped design brings a few more millimeters to the legroom. The seats are well-padded and overall width looks promising for adequate under-thigh support. The front comes with an adjustable armrest in the center and features like heads-up display and 10.25-inch infotainment display will further improve the quality of driving on the new SUV. Kia Seltos will rival Jeep Compass, Tata Harrier, and MG Hector directly.
The front fascia of the car was seen through another set of images where the car was preparing for a commercial shoot. The car is based on the same platform as Hyundai Creta but, updated to some extent. Actually, the same will be shared with the upcoming 2020 Creta with slightly bigger dimensions. However, the engine options will be different with 1.5L petrol and diesel being the two given options. The gearbox available with these engines will feature an automatic option too. Kia Seltos will also feature a performance variant with 140 HP of power and 7-speed DCT later in the life cycle.
