New Kia Seltos joins small SUV battle

Four derivatives are on offer including a range-topping 1.4 turbo. Picture: SUPPLIEDDirectly pitched against the recently launched Volkswagen T-Cross, which has established itself as one of SA’s best-selling cars after just a couple of months on the market, the Seltos arrives in four versions priced between R354,995 and R444,995.

In just the past couple of months the segment has seen the introduction of the T-Cross and C3 Aircross, while Hyundai SA is to launch its Venue compact SUV in the coming weeks. All derivatives are front-wheel drives and there are three specification grades, a choice of three engines and three transmissions offered.The entry point into the range is the Seltos EX, which comes with features such as aircon, automatic headlights, cloth upholstery, central locking, multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, USB charging points for front and rear passengers, and a 20cm colour touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for smartphone mirroring.

The range-topping Seltos GT Line ups the ante in terms of design, power and features. Its more extravagant plumage includes sporty satin chrome and red trim and bespoke 17” crystal-cut alloy wheels with red brake calipers. All exterior lights are upgraded to full LED units, with unique 3D layered indicators at the front.
