Chronology
PredecessorKia KX3 (first generation) (China)

The Kia Seltos (Korean: 기아 셀토스) is a subcompact crossover SUV manufactured by Kia. Introduced in mid-2019, the Seltos is positioned between the smaller Stonic, Soul, or Sonet and the larger Sportage in Kia's global SUV lineup.[12]

The Seltos is designated as a global product with three variations introduced for different markets. The first variation is the largest version of the Seltos, which is manufactured in South Korea (codename: SP2) mainly aimed for developed markets, including North America and Australasia. The two other variations are the Indian-made Seltos (codename: SP2i) and the closely related Chinese version badged as the Kia KX3 (codename: SP2c). The SP2i and SP2c models are the low-cost versions of the Seltos to penetrate emerging markets, built on the Hyundai-Kia K2 platform and closely related to the second-generation Hyundai Creta/ix25. Despite being a globally marketed model, the Seltos is not sold in the European market.[13]

The name "Seltos" is derived from "Celtos", the son of Hercules in Greek mythology.[14][15] According to Kia, the Seltos is aimed directly at millennials and "youthful, tech-savvy buyers" looking for a vehicle that stands out from the crowd.[6][9][16]

Overview[]

The Seltos started as two concept cars, the SP Concept, which was showcased at the 2018 Auto Expo in February 2018,[17] and the SP Signature showcased at the 2019 Seoul Motor Show in March 2019.[18][19][20] Both concept cars have a close resemblance with the current mass-production versions. The SP Concept previewed the SP2i Seltos built in India, while the SP Signature is the concept version of the South Korean-made SP2 Seltos.[21]

The Seltos was launched in South Korea on 18 July 2019, India on 22 August 2019, and the Philippines on 6 November 2019 with a release in various global markets except Europe by the end of the year.[8][22][23] The Seltos was also launched in Indonesia on 20 January 2020. The Seltos was launched in the United States, Canada, and Mexico in early 2020 for the 2021 model year.[24][25][26] It was also introduced in Russia in June 2020.[27]

Kia Motors Europe COO Emilio Herrera has confirmed the automaker would not sell the new Seltos in Europe due to the popularity of larger SUV offerings such as the Sportage and Sorento,[13] and the release of the Stonic and XCeed in the small SUV segment.[28]

SP2 model[]

The SP2 is the codename given to the versions manufactured in South Korea, alongside the version assembled in Russia. The SP2 Seltos is built on a platform shared with the Hyundai Kona and the Kia Soul.[29][30][31]

South Korea[]

2019 Seltos 1.6 (SP2; South Korea)

The SP2 Seltos debuted in South Korea in 18 July 2019.[32] Positioned above the Stonic, it is offered with two engine options, the 1.6-litre Gamma turbo petrol engine that runs on maximum of 177 PS (130 kW; 175 hp) and 27 kg⋅m (265 N⋅m; 195 lbf⋅ft) of torque with a claimed fuel efficiency of 13 km/l (31 mpg‑US), and the other is a 1.6-litre U-Line diesel engine is equipped with maximum of 136 PS (134 hp; 100 kW) and 32.6 kg⋅m (320 N⋅m; 236 lbf⋅ft) of torque with a claimed fuel economy of 18 km/l (42 mpg‑US). Both engines are equipped with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. It is also available with an all-wheel drive option.[33]

Several driver-assist functions including forward collision-avoidance assist, lane-following assist, lane-keeping assist, driver-attention warning, and high-beam assist are available as standard for all trims.[34]

North America[]

Seltos 1.6 SX AWD (SP2; Canada)

Launched for the 2021 model year, the Seltos for the U.S. and Canada is positioned between the Soul and Sportage.[35] It has a redesigned front bumper to maximize the front approach angle.[36] Trim levels for the 2021 Seltos are LX, S, S Turbo, EX, and SX Turbo.

The North American Kia Seltos offers either a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter with 149 PS (110 kW; 147 hp) and 18.3 kg⋅m (179 N⋅m; 132 lb⋅ft) of torque, standard on LX, S, and EX trims with a CVT gearbox marketed as "Intelligent Variable Transmission" (IVT).[37] Also offered is a 1.6-liter turbo engine producing 177 PS (130 kW; 175 hp) and 27 kg⋅m (265 N⋅m; 195 lb⋅ft) of torque. Standard on the Seltos SX and optional on the S, the 1.6 Turbo comes with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is available and standard on most trims except for the S model, where it is optional and has similar mechanical components as the larger Telluride.[37]

For the 2022 model year, the Seltos received a new Kia badge with the updated Kia logo and a Nightfall Edition trim that replaced the Turbo S model.[38]

In Mexico, the SP2 Seltos is not offered, as the Indian-sourced SP2i Seltos is sold in the country instead.[39]

Australia[]

The Seltos launched in October 2019 in the Australian market.[40] The five grades consist of S, Sport, Sport+, Sport+ AWD, and GT-Line. Engine choice for lower end variants consist of the Nu 2.0-litre petrol engine mated to CVT, while higher end AWD models are powered by the 1.6-litre Gamma T-GDi engine with a seven-speed DCT. It is equipped with a region-specific suspension tuning to suit the road conditions in Australia.[41]

In September 2020, Kia Australia issued a recall on 2,465 units of the Seltos sold between 25 October 2019 and 25 August 2020. The affected units are to be fitted with an antitheft locking mechanism in the steering wheel column shaft to meet Australian design rules.[42] The Seltos was the 25th-highest selling vehicle in Australia in 2020.[43]

SP2i model[]

2021 Seltos 1.6 EX (SP2i; Chile)

The SP2i is an internally designated codename for the Seltos model manufactured in India and exported mostly to emerging markets. The SP2i Seltos is shorter by 60 mm (2.4 in) in length and 20 mm (0.8 in) in wheelbase compared to the SP2.

Visually, the SP2i Seltos can be identified by the SP2 Seltos by the hood line that ends by the grille that creates a seamless "clamshell" hood design, while for the SP2 Seltos, the hood line ends behind the Kia logo. The front end region is also slightly shorter and the rear bumper is flatter in design. The SP2i Seltos along with the Chinese KX3 also has a different interior dashboard design compared to the SP2 Seltos with a simpler HVAC vent design and an integrated infotainment screen styling.[52][53]

The SP2i model is not offered with all-wheel drive in any markets.[54]

India[]

Seltos 1.5 HTX (SP2i; India)

The Seltos is the first product of Kia India following its entry in the country.[5] The crossover was unveiled in New Delhi, India on 20 June 2019.[2] By the time of its launch on 22 August 2019, Kia had received more than 50,000 bookings for the Seltos.[55] Later, the Seltos emerged as the best-selling SUV in the country by delivering 12,854 units in October 2019.[56] As of 1 April 2020, the Seltos sales crossed the 80,000 mark in India.[57]

In India, the Seltos is offered in two submodels, which are the Tech Line and GT Line. Three engine options are offered in India, consisting of two petrol engines and one diesel engine. The petrol engines are the 1.5-litre, naturally aspirated engine that makes 115 PS (85 kW; 113 hp) paired with six-speed manual transmission or CVT, and a 1.4-liter Kappa turbo engine that produces 140 PS (103 kW; 138 hp) paired with six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The diesel engine is a 1.5-litre U-Line unit that produces 115 PS (85 kW; 113 hp) paired with six-speed manual transmission or six-speed torque-converter automatic.

In August 2021, a new sub-model named X-Line was introduced in India. The new X-Line consist only of cosmetic changes rather than mechanical changes. The trim will be available in two engine options, 1.4-litre Smart-stream turbocharged petrol engine and the 1.5-litre CRDi diesel motor.[58] One of the other upgrades included 18-inch alloy wheels and piano black trim highlights.[59]

Other markets[]

The Indian-built Seltos is exported to several regions, which mostly are emerging markets, including South Africa, Southeast Asia (except the Philippines), Latin America, the Middle East, and other South Asian markets.[60] It is also assembled by kits in Vietnam starting from July 2020.[61] The exported Seltos from India is available with a 1.6-litre petrol engine, which is not offered in the Indian domestic market.

It was updated for the Mexican market on 6 August 2021, incorporating the new Kia logo.[62]

The Seltos was the best-selling SUV in Mexico in 2020.[63]

Adult occupant stars 3/5 stars
Adult occupant score 8.03/17.00
Child occupant stars 2/5 stars
Child occupant score 15.00/49.00
Cabin integrity Unstable

Under the Global NCAP crash test, the basic safety specification of the SP2i Seltos received three out of five stars. Unlike the SP2 model in other crash tests, the India-spec SP2i Seltos structure lost its stability during the frontal impact test, and both front airbags were bottomed out by the driver and front passenger heads.[65] The driver's chest was considered marginal, and the vehicle had limited protection to the head and neck of a three-year-old child. It does not offer standard three-point belts in all seating positions and has no ISOFIX anchorages as standard.

Internal structure documentations from Kia has shown the SP2i Seltos used less ultra high-strength steel reinforcements compared to the SP2 Seltos.[66]
