2023 Seltos Facelift Exterior

In the Korean Seltos facelift, Kia has redesigned the front bumper, rear bumper and alloy wheels. We expect the Indian 2023 Seltos facelift to have a similar exterior design.

New Front Bumper and Headlamp Unit

The new bumper gets a larger grille that seamlessly integrates the LED daytime running lights (DRLs). The bonnet is not a part of the front bumper anymore and is separated from the front grille. The LED fog lamps are similar to the current Seltos but appear sleeker. The newly designed skid plate stretches to the air dams, adding to the car’s visual appeal.

Differently Designed Alloy Wheels

The alloy wheels of the new Seltos get a complete makeover and look sportier than the current Seltos.

Connected Tail Lamps and a New Rear Bumper

Keeping up with the market trend, Kia has added a new connected tail lamp setup to the Seltos Facelift. It also gets a redesigned rear bumper with integrated reflectors.

2023 Seltos Facelift Interior

The Korean Seltos facelift gets the below style-related updates to its interiors. Kia are likely to introduce most of these features in the Indian Seltos Facelift as well.

10.25-Inch Digital Instrument Cluster and Infotainment System

The most striking change in the new Seltos facelift is its large 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. It seamlessly integrates with the equally sized touchscreen infotainment system. 

New AC and Infotainment Control Unit

The new infotainment system has a fully redesigned control panel, which also provides controls for the Air Conditioning (AC). 

Ambient Light Strip

The interiors of the 2023 Seltos facelift look more upmarket with the addition of a new ambient light strip on the dashboard.

Panoramic Sunroof

Based on the Indian market trend, Kia may likely add a panoramic sunroof to the Seltos facelift. This feature is not available in the Korean version of the car.
