Automaker Kia is offering its upcoming 2024 Kia Seltos subcompact crossover with a gamut of improvements and updates.
However, the car will continue to come as an all-wheel drive model with sufficient traction and ground clearance as well, like its predecessor. It will support some new color options like the Pluton Blue, Valais Green and Mars Orange apart from four distinct two-tone options. There will be a total of nine color options.
2024 Kia Seltos Exteriors and Interiors
The new Kia Seltos will portray minor tweaks for its rear and front styling although it retains the earlier chunky box well-proportioned design that gives it more of a SUV-like appearance than a wagon. Each of the three variants has its own set of interesting exteriors. The X-Line model houses a roof rack, 18-inch wheels and dark trimmings. On the other hand, the step-up LX and base S models will house 17-inch wheels while the top-level Seltos SX model will come with 18-inch wheels. All variants will portray restyled lights at all four corners.
