The 2023 Kia Seltos has received a substantial mid-life update, adding new technology, improved safety features, and a bolder design. Kia initially launched the Seltos in India in 2019, and it quickly became one of the most popular compact SUVs due to its premium features, attractive pricing, and strong performance. With this facelift, Kia aims to set new benchmarks in the segment, ensuring the Seltos stays competitive against rivals like the Hyundai Creta, MG Astor, and Volkswagen Taigun​.

The 2023 Kia Seltos features a bold design with modern styling that appeals to a wide range of buyers. Let’s dive into some of the standout elements of its exterior:

 

2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Design

 

Front Fascia:

  • Redesigned tiger-nose grille that now extends seamlessly with the Star Map LED DRLs.
  • Ice cube LED fog lamps and slimmer LED headlamps offer a sophisticated touch.
  • GTLine variant adds sporty elements, including body-colored skid plates and dual-tip exhausts.

 

Side Profile:

  • New 17-inch and 18-inch alloy wheels, depending on the variant, add to its modern appeal.
  • Sleek character lines emphasize its bold look, with options for dual-tone colors.

 

Rear Design:

  • Updated LED taillights with a Star Map pattern add a unique flair.
  • A re-sculpted bumper enhances its sporty demeanor.
2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Drive

Pros

  • The 2023 facelift brings a modern look with updated LED headlights, a larger grille, and 18-inch alloys, enhancing its street presence.
  • Advanced tech features like dual 10.25-inch displays, wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Bose 8-speaker audio system offer a premium in-cabin experience.
  • Safety is enhanced with Level 2 ADAS, including features like Front Collision Avoidance and Lane Keep Assist, providing extra peace of mind.

Cons

  • The diesel variant lacks a manual gearbox, which may disappoint traditional drivers who prefer full control over gear shifts.
  • Though the iMT option is available, it can be cumbersome and may take time to get used to compared to a conventional manual.
  • The rear seat experience is marred by a limited view for taller passengers due to the high window line, and the stiffer suspension can compromise ride comfort over uneven surfaces

Verdict

The 2023 Kia Seltos offers a blend of style, tech, and safety, making it a compelling choice in the compact SUV segment. While it may have a few downsides, such as the lack of a manual diesel option and a slightly stiff suspension, the Seltos shines with its powerful turbo engine, high-tech cabin, and comprehensive safety features. It's a great option for those seeking a modern, feature-rich SUV at an attractive price.

    I brought seltos htx one week back.This is my 6 th car following innova crysta,xuv500,duster,Honda city and dzire.I can safely say that this is best overall car in this price range at present. Seltos is near perfect vehicle by many angles. It's design is fantastic,looks are fantastic,features are fantastic, refinement is excellent,NVH levels are superb,ride quality is superb and easily comparable to my innova crysta,diesel manual mileage is excellent,seat comfort is superb. Back seat of this vehicle occupies 3 people comfortably.Boot space has enough space for luggage of five people for a short trip. I drove this vehicle on really ugly Bhokar-Nanded road of maharashtra(bad is very mild word for this road at present,i think) ,and I can assure you that ,this vehicle has one of the best ride quality which can be easily comparable to my innova crysta in terms of ride quality. Seltos is breeze to drive.I drove petrol GT line also for short distance,and it is also a great varrient to own.You can go for either varrients as per your needs and choice.Both varrients are great. Diesel is giving me 17 kmpl overall at present for 60% highway and 40% city drive with AC 100% on. I hope,Mileage will definitely increase after second service(oil change) to 19 Kmpl overall. Smart air purifier with perfume diffuser is a added advantage. AC is powerful and works fantastically. In my opinion,At present,there is no competitor for seltos,when it comes to overall package. So friends,who are in two minds,JUST GO FOR THIS VEHICLE BLINDLY.YOU CAN PURCHASE ANY VARRIENT DEPENDING UPON YOUR NEEDS,AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT,MOST OF YOU WILL BE VERY PLEASED TO OWN THIS VEHICLE.

    1.4 Turbo petrol is the pick if you enjoy driving. It's a bit low on mileage average I get is 13kmpl. If you are driving City then choose diesel version. The refinement of 1.4 turbo petrol is amazing. It's one of the quickest from 0 to 100 can beat the big guys like Harrier, Innova and others. Comfort and features are to notch. 360 camera is like top end cars, very handy in congested places and parking is breeze. People who talk of build quality doesn't question the never rated Hyundai Creta or cheap Maruti cars. This has been crash tested because it's been released in international markets. I am sure Creta if crash tested will give a similar rating. Kia needs to show after sales support to build it's brand value.

    It been a month now and feel extremely satisfied with the performance of the car. Best features I liked is the ventilated seats and 360° camera. Was concerned about fuel economy as I had heard bad reviews on DCT AT. I am getting 10 km / lt in Mumbai traffic which is better than my VW POLO which is also a DCT engine. On a long drive it has given 13 km . Regarding sales you can get a better deal for your insurance . Would have preferred a dual tone car to the sunroof. Company was charging 65000 for insurance whereas policy was available for 35000 on net. Assesories and extended warranty was added without my consent .

    I own kia htk petrol. Today travelled from Pune to Kolhapur and latter moved to Gadhinglaj. Journey started at morning, less traffic, but purposely controlled speed at 80 kmph with full mind control . (NOT TO REACH 100) (24.5 kmpl on highway and lastly ended with 23.6 kmpl end of journey at Gadhinglaj) Thankful to Shumbam sales executive, dhone kia satara road, for suggesting kia nicely, also heartfully thanks to Nitin sir, service advisor, bibvewadi, for kind follow up, suggestions and good service.

    Seltos is a good car in the segment. Worth the money that one spends to get it. Don't go buy the negative comments. They are either junk or supporters of other brands. Take a test drive and decide what you want. Delay in delivering is understandable. A booking of 15k in a month is too much for a recent entrant to India. If its really bad why people go for so much booking. So its very clear that the comments are not genuine
