Kia India’s Seltos, one of the best-selling mid-size SUVs, has been launched in its 2023 version. The new model is packed with a slew of new features and updated powertrains that meet the upcoming real driving emission (RDE) regulations and are E20 fuel compatible. The Kia Seltos 2023 is priced from Rs. 10.89 lakh (ex-showroom).
Features of Kia Seltos 2023
Kia has made Idle Stop and Go (ISG) a standard feature for the Seltos 2023, making it more fuel-efficient. Furthermore, the SUV comes with the Kia Connect Skill for Amazon Alexa, which facilitates home-to-car connectivity. However, this feature is not available as standard.
Kia Seltos 2023 Powertrains
The powertrain of the new Seltos has undergone some changes. The 1.4-litre Turbo GDi engine has been discontinued, but Kia will soon introduce the more potent 1.5-litre Turbo GDi engine. For now, the SUV is available with two engine options: the 1.5-litre Smartstream petrol and the 1.5-litre CRDi VGT diesel.
The petrol engine produces a maximum power of 115PS and peak torque of 144Nm, and can be paired with a 6-speed MT or an IVT automatic transmission. The diesel engine generates a maximum power of 116PS (up from 115PS) and peak torque of 250Nm, and can be paired with a 6-speed iMT or a 6-speed AT. The diesel engine is only available with a 6-speed iMT, and there is no manual transmission option.
