Exterior

The Kia Seltos Gravity Edition in the images is finished in the Aurora Black Pearl hue. It can also be had with a Glacial White Pearl colour.

Starting from the front, the Gravity edition of the Kia Seltos is no different from the regular Seltos. It gets an LED setup for headlights, fog lamps and DRLs. It also gets a silver skid plate and chrome surrounds on the grille.

At the sides, the Seltos Gravity edition features a ‘Gravity’ badging on the front doors. It also has 17-inch alloy wheels. Notably, the donor HTX variant gets 17-inch silver alloy wheels, whereas the Gravity Edition gets a dual-tone design. The Gravity Edition also gets body-coloured door handles in comparison to the chrome finish on the Seltos HTX.

At the rear, the only change in the Gravity edition is that it gets a gloss black spoiler. It gets a connected LED tail light setup. It also comes with a silver skid plate.

Interior

The interior of the Kia Seltos Gravity Edition features a navy blue and black interior theme, with blue seat upholstery as well. The front seats have a ventilation function and a dashcam has also been added.

There is also an electronic parking brake, but it can only be had with the CVT (continuously variable transmission) automatic. The manual iteration comes with a regular parking brake.

The audio system has also been upgraded with an 8-speaker Bose audio system.

Other features borrowed from the HTX trim include a panoramic sunroof, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and dual-zone AC.

There has been no addition to the safety suite in the Gravity Edition and it gets six airbags, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), a rearview camera, and front parking sensors.
