2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Spotted With A Panoramic Sunroof | V3Cars

2023 Kia Seltos Facelift With Panoramic Sunroof

With the launch of the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, a majority of the C-segment SUVs now offer panoramic sunroof. The Seltos, on the other hand, continues to come with a small single-pane sunroof, which for some is the only fly in the ointment. With the facelift, Kia are ready to fix this by adding a large panoramic sunroof as seen in the recent spy shots.

2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Design Changes 

The Seltos facelift boasts a couple of design changes at the front and rear profiles. Up front, it gets a larger grille with a new mesh pattern. The LED headlights get a revision and sit a little lower whereas the LED DRLs now find their way inside the grille rather than sitting atop the grille like in the current model. The lower bumper also gets a revision but the ice-cubed fog lights are unchanged.

Around the side, the Seltos facelift remains similar to the current model save for the new design for the 18-inch alloy wheels. At the rear, the Seltos facelift gains a connected LED light bar for the tail lights, which have also grown bigger and received a design overhaul. The facelift makes the SUV look a lot fresher and bolder over the current Seltos.

2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Interior And Features

The upcoming India-bound Seltos facelift could feature a connected, twin-screen setup. Each screen could measure up to 10.25-inches in size, similar to the ones in the all-electric Kia EV6. Furthermore, the dashboard could also get a few revisions along with a generous use of soft-touch materials. In terms of features, the Seltos is already a fairly-loaded SUV and we could see the addition of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) features with the facelift.
