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.
