Update (04/07/23): The 2023 Kia Seltos has been unveiled in India.

• Kia will unveil the facelifted Seltos on July 4.

• New spy shots show HTK and HTK+ variants will have an 8-inch touchscreen and a digitised driver’s display.

• The HTK’s exterior highlights include projector headlights and halogen fog lamps.

• Kia will offer the facelifted Seltos with both petrol and diesel engine options.

• Prices are expected to start from Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom).

The facelifted Kia Seltos has just been teased for the first time ahead of its debut on July 4. While it gave us a good look at the top-spec cabin, the updated SUV’s mid-spec HTK and HTK+ variants have been spied revealing fresh details.

Revised Cabin Updates

As seen in the latest spy images, both the HTK and HTK+ variants have some common features like steering-mounted audio controls (HTK+ gets cruise control and MID control as well), fabric upholstery, a smaller 8-inch touchscreen, and a digitised driver display like the one in the Kia Sonet. While the HTK variant has manual AC, the latter has auto climate control. Another possible difference between the two is that only the HTK+ variant will come with push-button start/stop.

Exterior Changes

In one of the spy shots, we also get a look at the HTK variant’s revised front fascia. The HTK trim of the SUV gets a bigger grille, flanked by the projector headlights and LED DRLs. Lower down, it gets a silver skid plate and halogen fog lamps instead of the LED units seen on the higher-spec variants.

Powertrain Choices

The facelifted Seltos will continue to offer petrol and diesel engines. They are detailed below along with their transmission options:
