Kia’s new small
crossover has been spied completely undisguised during what appears to be a
commercial shoot for the vehicle. Ladies and gentlemen say hello to the Kia
Seltos.
The Seltos has a
head-turning design with this particular example finished in a two-tone finish
of white and gloss black. The front of the crossover includes a black grille
with a silver surround as well as a set of headlights with a, particularly
interesting shape. There are also a set of sporty and aggressive silver and
black wheels with red center caps.
The design of the
Seltos was previewed by the SP Concept earlier this year and not only does the
front look virtually identical, but it is the same story at the rear. For
example, the Seltos features a set of sharp taillights connected by a piece of
silver trim. There is also a subtle silver rear diffuser and a pair of faux
tailpipes on the rear bumper.
It’s quite rare for
spy photographers to stumble upon a forthcoming vehicle free of any camouflage
and the circumstances revolving around this scene meant no images of the
interior could be captured. However, a sketch released earlier this month
provided a preview of the cabin, revealing an infotainment screen stretching
out of the dashboard, a sporty three-spoke steering wheel, and an instrument
cluster combining analog dials with a central display.
We’ve been told
that the Kia Seltos will first hit the market in South Korea before reaching
global markets in the second half of the year. It remains to be seen if the SUV
will be sold in North America.
