The facelifted Kia Seltos seems to be building on the success story of the model that kick started Kia’s innings on our shores. The 2023 Seltos took just around a month’s time to garner nearly 32,000 bookings, most of them for its higher end variants – from HTX onwards to be precise.

The Korean marque had opened the pre-order books for the Seltos back on 14 July, before announcing the prices a week later. Kia says that nearly 19% of the total bookings have been made for the Pewter Olive exterior shade, which is an India-exclusive hue. The colour palette, and even the powertrain options on offer are rather plenty and correspondingly confusion-inducing.

We’ve jotted down the variant-wise feature details of the facelifted Kia Seltos here.
