Kia Seltos Teased In New Video Ahead Of Launch This Week

The Kia Seltos compact SUV is slated for a global premiere this week on June 20, 2019 and will be the first product from the Korean car maker for India. The SUV has been a long awaited one and we have seen glimpses of the same via spy shots and teaser images. Now, Kia Motor India has released a new teaser video of the Seltos showcasing new elements including the tiger nose grille, LED headlamp and  taillights and more. To remind you, the uncamouflaged version was spied just last month during its TVC shoot completely revealing the exterior design. The Kia Seltos is a handsome SUV and will take on the Jeep Compass, Tata Harrier, Hyundai Creta and the latest entrant to the segment - MG Hector.
