BE bold with the all-new Kia Seltos, a subcompact SUV engineered to take you on your most epic journey yet. Named after Celtos, the son of the Greek god Hercules, and his brave spirit, the Kia Seltos is all about chasing new adventures.
“This emboldened spirit, which also lives in the hearts of the younger generation, is what drove us to develop a crossover that embodies sophistication and sportiness. It’s a complete crossover package that delivers innovative driving experiences as well as class-leading cabin space that inspires you to enjoy the thrill of new adventures,” said Kia Philippines president Manny Aligada, during the vehicle’s launch on Nov. 6. Kia is distributed by Iconic Dealership, Inc., an authorized dealership under the Ayala Automotive Group.
Size-wise, the body itself measures at 4,370mm x 1,800mm x 1,615mm, while the wheelbase is 2,630mm long—this vehicle will not be hard to notice for sure. Made with Advanced High Strength Steel, the Seltos boasts a robust body that has improved rigidity and security.
With a Drive Mode Select system, the driver can toggle between three driving modes depending on your preference: Normal, Eco and Sport—different modes for different driving conditions. A Rear View Camera with Rear View Driving Function also ensures better maneuvering when backing up.
More than just a tough exterior, the Seltos can walk the talk too. It is equipped with a 2.0L In-Line 4 DOHC D-CVVT Atkinson Cycle engine and the all-new Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT), which means improved power, response and smoothness without compromising fuel efficiency. The IVT enables continuous gear shifts for an enhanced driving experience. This model was also designed to minimize noise and vibration, ensuring a pleasant ride for passengers. The electronic stability control of the SX model also makes for a smoother cruise on the road.
For the Seltos, one can choose between dual tone colors and monotone colors (options vary per model): Starbright Yellow/Cherry Black and Clear White/Cherry Black for dual tone; and Starbright Yellow, Mars Orange, Dark Ocean Blue, Gravity Grey and Iron Grey for monotone.
Whether it’s a quick detour downtown or a long-haul drive to the countryside, you can count on the Kia Seltos to take you to your destination safely and in style.
