A lot of test mules of the upcoming new-generation Kia Seltos are doing the rounds on international soil that showcase the boxier shape and the inclusion of new design elements. Now, its interior was spotted recently that hinted at some elements shared with the Kia Syros. Let us take a look at everything we could spot in the spy shots of the upcoming Seltos:

What Do The Spy Shots Reveal?

While the exterior design silhouette of the new-generation Kia Seltos was spotted earlier, the new spy shots also confirm vertically-stacked LED headlights in a square housing. A tiny grille with vertical slats and a rugged black strip on the front bumper is also visible. 

While the earlier test mule featured alloy wheels, this spied model had 18-inch rims with sylised wheel covers. At the rear, the upcoming Seltos can be seen with a triangular tail light setup with similar LED elements as the current-spec Seltos. The rear bumper also features a black strip like the front bumper.

These spy shots also give a glimpse of the interior of the new-gen Seltos, which look heavily inspired by the modern and minimalist cabin of the Kia Syros. The seats look similar to the ones on the Kia EV9, but the grey and silver seat upholstery with orange accents is similar to the Kia Syros. The rear seats and the rear doors also seem to seek inspiration from the Syros.

While the dashboard layout is yet to be revealed, it is expected that the new-generation Seltos will come with a triple-screen layout like the Syros.

Expected Features And Safety Tech

While the feature suite is yet to be revealed, it is expected to feature a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a similar-sized driver’s display and a 5-inch screen for AC controls, like the Kia Syros. It could also continue to be equipped with a panoramic sunroof, a wireless phone charger, a dual-zone auto AC and electrically adjustable front seats with ventilation function.

The safety net of the new-generation Seltos is expected to be the same as the current-spec model with amenities including 6 airbags (as standard), 360-degree camera, an electronic parking brake and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). It will also get a Level-2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) suite, with features including lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning.
