Platform
New Kia Seltos is built on the Global K3 platform, which is stronger and refined than before. The body structure of the car has become more solid due to this new platform and feels better stability during driving. Even on bad roads, the car seems more confident, as if it is holding the road firmly. Also, this platform has also brought a big upgrade in terms of safety.
Safety
If we talk about its safety, the new Seltos has changed the level of the segment itself. All variants have features standards such as six airbags, ABS, hill-start assist and electronic stability control. Level-2 ADAS is found in elevated variants, including 21 autonomous safety functions. This feature makes everyday driving easier and more secure, especially on the highway.

Design
The difference is made by seeing the exteriors design of the new Kia Seltos. Kia’s ‘Opposites United’ design philosophy makes it more futuristic. The length of the SUV has now increased to 4,460 mm, making its road presence even more powerful. The wide stance and long wheelbase give more space to the cabin as well as giving it a more premium look.
Digital Tiger Face, segment-first automatic streamline door handles, Ice Cube LED projector headlamps and new design alloy wheels give it a global SUV feel. Inspiration from Kia Telluride in design is a clear glimpse.
