The all-new 2023 facelift of the Kia Seltos made its debut at the ongoing Busan International Motor Show. It is likely to make its India debut at Auto Expo 2023 and be launched subsequently. In fact, a test mule of the car was spotted in India recently, which further solidifies the assumption that the compact SUV will be coming to India in less than a year's time. The 2023 Seltos has come with noticeable changes to the exterior, like the newly designed headlights and revised front grille which sits lower in comparison to the existing model. The front bumper has been tweaked, allowing for larger airflow, although the positioning and design of the fog lamps remain to be the same.

The Kia Seltos will be offered with two engine options - a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol unit and a 1.6-litre turbo petrol unit. Whereas in India, the new Kia Seltos facelift is likely to come with the same 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, 1.4-litre turbo petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine along with manual and automatic gearboxes. In India, the Kia Seltos go up against Hyundai Creta, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, and the new entrants such as the Toyota Hyryder and the soon-to-be-launched Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara. As far as the timeline goes for its India launch, we have reached out to Kia India for a response.
