The test mule of the upcoming facelifted Seltos is already being spotted internationally. We presented to you the story of a recent test mule spied equipped with ADAS equipment. That varied test car belonged to South Korea. Now, the Indian test car seems a bit different as compared to the global test car. First of all, it is heavily camouflaged but there are no visible changes from the current Seltos. The alloy wheel design seems similar to the current mid-variants. Also, the body shell & design is almost the same.

So, what's different then? Well, the facelift will embrace new LED headlights & taillights. Also, the top-end variants will have a new alloy wheel design. The shell design is suspected to remain the same as it is just a facelift. The important part is the addition of new tech-laden features. The upcoming Seltos is expected to bring the ADAS; which the rivals have started offering already. Along with this, a new dashboard design, a new steering wheel, & a new infotainment system along with a bigger screen can be expected. We anticipate that features as such the driver's heads-up display will also mark their entrance with the new car.

However, reports suggest that KIA will discontinue its diesel lineup globally soon (maybe by the end of this year). But, as this is going to be a facelift only, we do not expect that for the Indian model. This means the current 2 petrol & 1 diesel engine will continue to be offered. KIA is known for its versatile variant options; which will remain the same with the upcoming Seltos as well.
The launch of the new car is expected sometime in the first half of 2023. The launch will take place after the launch of the 2022 Hyundai Creta facelift. Both the Korean cars compete against the rivals like the MG Hector, MG Astor, Tata Harrier, & Mahindra XUV700.
