Shortly after unveiling the Seltos at the
2019 Los Angeles Auto Show, Kia has presented two concepts of the small SUV,
named the X-Line Trail Attack and X-Line Urban.
Boasting revised looks that make them seem
ready for arduous terrains, the show cars are based on the production model and
retain the interior behind those heavily tinted windows.
Inspired by the glass and steel used in
skyscrapers, the Seltos X-Line Urban Concept wears a gray paint finish,
contrasted by glossy black, orange and gold accents. It comes with a hood
scoop, custom bumper, roof rack with auxiliary lights and 8×17-inch wheels.
Riding 2 inches (51 mm) higher than the
production Seltos, the study is powered by a 175 HP and 264 Nm of
torque 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that’s paired to a 7-speed
DCT gearbox and electronically controlled AWD system with torque vectoring.
Kia Seltos X-Line Trail Attack Concept
Finished in a custom two-tone paint
scheme, the Seltos X-Line Trail Attack is the more off-road-oriented version of
the two. It sports a front winch, roof rack, two sets of auxiliary lights,
2-inch (51 mm) lift kit that raises the ground clearance to 9.2 inches (233.7
mm) and chunky off-road tires that wrap around 8×17-inch wheels.
Like the Urban, the Trail Attack packs the
same 1.6-liter turbocharged lump, hooked up to the 7-speed transmission, and is
equipped with all-wheel drive and a center differential lock that equally distributes
the power between the two axles when engaged.
