Kia Seltos Facelift Launch In 2023 | V3Cars
On September 2, we reported that Kia might launch the Seltos facelift in 2022. However, we have learned from reliable sources that Kia will launch the Seltos facelift in 2023. If Kia participate in the Auto Expo 2023, then we can expect Kia to showcase at the event and launch soon thereafter. Globally, Kia revealed the Seltos facelift in South Korea in June 2022.
2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Exteriors
After a span of close to 3 years, Kia are gearing up to bring the Seltos facelift to our shores in 2023. The 2023 Seltos facelift gets a bigger grille up front with a new mesh pattern. The LED headlights now see a revision and sit a little lower, whereas the LED DRLs now find their way inside the grille, rather than sitting atop the grille in the current model. Furthermore, it gets newly designed alloy wheels and connected LED tail lights.

2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Interiors
The Seltos sold in North America featured a centre floating display for the infotainment system and an analogue instrument cluster. But the Seltos facelift in India is likely to get Mercedes-Benz-like twin connected screens for both. While the connected design isn’t new for us, the India-spec Seltos facelift will get an all-new, all-digital instrument cluster. Kia are yet to reveal the size of both the screens. Other changes include redesigned AC vents, a new steering wheel and a rotary gear selector.

2023 Kia Seltos Facelift India Powertrain
We are not expecting the Seltos facelift to offer any changes in terms of engine or gearbox options. We expect Kia to continue with the same 1.5L normal petrol, 1.5L turbo diesel and 1.4L turbo petrol engines. Gearbox options will include the 6-speed manual, CVT, 7-speed dual clutch automatic and 6-speed torque converter automatic.

how do you know its Oct 2022 and not Jan 2023? any official confirmation?
Delears say no to this year ,they told its in auto expo 2023...then from which source you mention that its in oct 2022...so many people interested so i ask this
This seems more like a rumor rather than any solid confirmation. Do you have any source??
The author changed the launch timeline from Oct-22 to 2022 end. It seems he was just fishing. The Dealers are saying it will come at Jan or Feb -23. Only way it gets expedited if Kia starts losing booking to Hyryder or facelifted Hector substantively
Initially the article said the launch will be in Oct 2022, then edited to end of 2022 and now again edited to launch in 2023. Is this a pathetic trick just to bring more readers to this article? Is there any reliable source of information for any of these launch dates?
Is Kia Sonet also expected to get a facelift in 2023? I have recently booked a Kia Sonet and wondering if there is any value in taking delivery in November or waiting till February next year. Any helpful opinions will be appreciated.
Kia has officially announced that seltos facelift won’t be launching in auto expo 2023 it shall be launching in November 2023
