Kia Seltos: a lively drive with dynamic style.

– Now bigger, bolder, and muscular compared to its predecessor, the enhanced Seltos is now available in Qatar.

-Kia’s new Seltos promises customers elevated performance, high-tech design, and advanced safety features.

Almost four years after its successful introduction to the local market, the Kia Seltos has been re-introduced as an enhanced version locally through Al-Attiya Motors and Trading Co. (AMTC), the exclusive distributor for Qatar.

The highly-anticipated model has impressed its first batch of owners with the new Kia Seltos’ unique combination of enhanced performance, bold new design and ergonomic safety features, a premium choice for power and supreme comfort. A reinvention of the highly regarded Seltos, the latest model sports an exciting range of innovative features and benefits that deliver an enhanced driving experience.

With the crossover, entry-SUV segment becoming more competitive than ever with new entrants, it was deemed important to stay true to the original Seltos hallmarks of head-turning design, interior space and comfort and reliability and pair it with the latest safety technology and new powertrain in the lively Kappa 1.4L Turbo-GDI and efficient Gamma 2 1.5L MPI engines.

As a pillar brand in the entry-SUV segment, Kia has been renowned for their ability to provide reliable and award-winning options such as the pioneering Soul and the head-turning Niro. With the Sonet and Seltos model options for the region, Kia is confident that they will continue to provide competitive options while giving added-value with the tried and test mix of advanced safety and infotainment options along with reliability of drive and after-sales service.

Futuristic and hypermodern design

The new Kia Seltos is designed to impress with its futuristic and sporty appearance. Its front and rear end headlights feature signature star-maps that add a hypermodern look to the Seltos when lit, as well as a front fog lamp. The new Kia Seltos boasts two brand new exterior hues including Pewter Olive, and Pluton Blue — in addition to the already existing Clear White, Sparkling Silver, Aurora Black Pearl, Vivid Red, Snow White Pearl, and Gravity Gray.

The interior’s new panoramic display presents high-tech imaging and design with a 10.25-inch cluster and 10.25-inch audio, video, and navigation – AVN display. The model also boasts a high-tech integrated controller where air conditioning and infotainment features can be easily navigated. The new Kia Seltos makes significant advancements in its design and features compared to its predecessor.

Notably, the previous Seltos had a single tilt sunroof, whereas the new model boasts a panoramic sunroof, providing an expansive view and enhancing the overall driving experience. The panoramic sunroof can slide open or close within a single touch for safety when driving. Passengers can also control their comfort with five-degree recline rear seats.

For a more comfortable driving experience, if the driver prefers a different temperature setting from the passengers, the new Kia Seltos’ Dual Auto Climate Control proves invaluable as it seamlessly allows for separate temperature adjustments.

For both convenience and safety purposes, the new Seltos can now be connected to the latest smartphones without cables with the Wireless Smartphone Charger and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. This seamless connection can now empower the driver and passengers to widen their infotainment options through the popular car software technology while maintaining the new Seltos clean and minimalist layout.

Twice the safety

The latest Kia Seltos is re-engineered to provide maximum safety through the integration of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assist Systems) to ensure maximum safety on the road including: Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (FCA), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Lane Following Assist (LFA), and Smart Cruise Control (SCC). These systems actively monitor the road and provide alerts to the driver to prevent potential collisions, enhancing overall road safety.

In addition, the new Kia Seltos is equipped with an electric parking brake, a significant improvement compared to the previous Seltos’ manual brake. The electric brake aids by stopping the car to a stationary position, assisting with emergency braking, as well as assisting with seamless parking.

Livelier Drive for more exciting road trips.

The new Seltos SX trims (Mid and Top options) now come with a livelier engine in the Kappa 1.4L Turbo-GDI. The engine is mated to a robust 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) system and produces a maximum output of 140 PS @ 6,000 RPM and a torque of 242 Nm @ 1,500~3,200 RPM. There are seven (7) modes to choose from as well with four (4) Drive Modes to cater to different driving styles in the Normal, Eco, Sport and Smart along with three (3) Traction modes for different terrain: Snow, Mud and Sand.

The standard LX trim comes with the efficient Gamma 2 1.5L MPI engine that is mated to a Continuously-Variable Transmission (CVT). This engine is proven for its smooth and economical drive for the value-drive driver.

In addition, the new Kia Seltos is equipped with an electric parking brake, a significant improvement compared to the previous Seltos’ manual brake. The electric brake aids by stopping the car to a stationary position, assisting with emergency braking, as well as assisting with seamless parking.
