Kia Seltos facelift: Astor owner shares observations from the showroom

The colours are simply wow, and IMHO the 'Pewter Olive' looked beastly!

BHPian mgastor2022grey recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Checked out the new seltos today in Chennai. Looks absolutely badass. Here are my observations:

  1. The Panoramic sunroof makes the cabin feel airy and is a very welcome addition.
  2. The new dashboard is definitely up for the segment leader Astor's cabin and is a heavy competitor.
  3. Doors still don't feel heavy and sheet metal still feels from a segment below.
  4. Dual-zone A/C is a segment-first feature and is an awesome addition!
  5. Colours are simply wow, and IMHO the 'Pewter Olive' looked beastly!
  6. Seems to be an error in the particular vehicle, but there was no rear shade curtain! Confirmed with SA, and he said it was a defect, and they will be replacing that car.
  7. Seat material is definitely better than the previous generation, but a friend told me it is similar (he owns a Seltos)
  8. Crystal cut alloys and tyres have a very low profile and will get damaged easily.
  9. The under-thigh support of the front seats has improved significantly.

Will I recommend the new Seltos to a friend? Absolutely yes! Will I buy it? Does not make sense, as I already have the Astor!
