2024 Kia Seltos Facelift comes with exterior tweaks and refreshed interior

Ahead of its official exhibit at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, we get to take a peek at the 2024 Kia Seltos Facelift which sports a heavily updated interior and some tweaks on the outside too.

Kia’s subcompact crossover hasn’t been in the market for very long which means it’s abnormal to see it experiencing a mid-cycle update so soon. The competitive nature of the SUV segment means that technology introduced as few as three years ago, which is when the first Seltos arrived, may already be obsolete.

Most of it relates to user interface and interior technology. As such the 2024 Kia Seltos Facelift has a comprehensively updated cabin which boasts a familiar dashboard that now accommodates two 10,25-inch screens fitted into a single bezel and angled towards the driver. A new rotary switch sits beneath the infotainment and updated air conditioner dials which replaces the formerly conventional gear lever.

On the outside, the new Seltos Facelift now has reworked front fascia which includes updated headlights with new LED DRLs feeding into the grille. New fog lights can be found on the flanks of the bumper. The rear gets a full length light bar with the Kia logo being placed in the centre while the red reflectors are placed on the lower part of the bumper and better blend into the black plastic trim. The fake dual exhaust tips have also been done away with for what is a more minimal, clean rear end.

The Korean automaker will go further into detail of the technical specifications when the Seltos Facelift will be on exhibit at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea next month. Since the subcompact model is part of the portfolio in South Africa, we can expect to receive the updated model too.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
