Kia is preparing the latest version of the Seltos SUV for the market, and a test mule has been sighted driving around on many occasions. The new-generation Kia Seltos test vehicle has been spotted again, providing more information about its look. The next version of Hyundai’s Creta competitor will be unveiled on December 10th. Here’s everything we know so far.
Full information for Kia Seltos
Although official information have yet to be revealed, the forthcoming Kia Seltos (codenamed SP3i) is believed to have more spacious interiors than the present model. The current Seltos measures 4,365 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width, and 1,645 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,610 mm. The next generation version is expected to be longer and wider, giving passengers more legroom and shoulder space.
Visually, the SUV will have a more upright, boxier aspect. The lighting system, as well as the front and back bumpers, are expected to be updated, and the side profile will include revised alloy wheels. Roof rails and ORVMs with integrated turn indicators are expected to remain unchanged.
The next-generation Kia Seltos’ engine and powertrain have remained a mystery. However, it is expected to maintain the same power units as the current versions, with 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol, and 1.5-litre diesel engines as possibilities. Kia is also likely to provide a new hybrid engine option for the Kia Seltos, which will have a self-charging hybrid arrangement.
