Why Critics Are Amazed By The 2023 Kia Seltos' New Upgraded Features
The Kia Seltos has been a big hit since its debut not that long ago in 2019. Because its popularity skyrocketed, the Seltos became that much more desirable among those who are curious about why people love them so much. After such great success, Kia decided to celebrate with a completely new look with upgraded features to go with the redesign. Your friends at Kia of Bedford will be giving you a special tour of the new 2023 Kia Seltos. To see what we have in stock, feel free to browse our new inventory online!
A New Facelift That Encourages Double-Takes
Previous Seltos models had a lot to offer, but it looked like your typical rugged SUV. That certainly wasn’t a bad thing since that’s what the people wanted, but times have changed and Kia evolved the Seltos to speak to today’s market with flying colors. For the 2023 Seltos model, the first thing to notice is the completely redesigned grille that feels much more sleek and modern with slim LED lights to add to the look. The LED headlamps gracefully frame the new grille while the LED taillights have been stretched to extend across the rear. Now, let’s take a look inside!
To go in line with the technological features that drivers want today, the new 2023 Kia Seltos features a dual digital display that effortlessly combines the center-console infotainment display with the driver instrument cluster in new digital color. This elongated screen will give you a fresh experience in viewing your information in an easier and more practical way. Even something as simple as adjusting the cabin’s temperature has been made easier with the redesigned dual-zone climate control system. Other than the upgraded technology, you can also invite an open atmosphere with the new dual-pane panoramic sunroof.
Go Turbo With Upgraded Powertrain Options
While you can still choose to go with the 1.5L engines from the previous Seltos model, the new 2023 facelift introduces two new turbo engine types. You can now choose between a 1.4L turbo petrol engine and a 1.5L turbo diesel engine, both of which are substantial upgrades while allowing you to go with your driving preference. However, there are plenty more ways to customize your new Seltos aside from selecting your favorite engine. There is also a wide range of transmission systems available to really help you find the Seltos for you:
● CVT automatic
● 6-speed manual
● 6-speed intelligent manual
● 7-speed dual-clutch
What Is A 6-Speed Intelligent Manual Transmission?
You’ve probably never heard of an intelligent manual transmission before, and if that’s the case, you might be eager to discover the difference. Also referred to as an IMT, this upgraded manual setup involves an automatic clutch that activates when shifting gears. IMTs are great for easy shifting and improved fuel efficiency.
Brace Yourself For Enhanced Safety Features
Another big part of the Seltos’ upgrade has to do with advanced driver assist systems like autonomous braking, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot detection which all work in tandem to watch your sides and help prevent collisions. Additional safety features include Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control, Hill-Start Assist, Hill-Descent Control, and a tire pressure monitoring system. The new Seltos is built with 6 airbags and child ISOFIX anchors for a safe family-friendly SUV. ABS with EBD is designed to give you greater steering control in sticky situations where you need to brake on a dime which just adds to the Seltos’ overall safety.
