re: The Kia Seltos SUV (SP Concept). EDIT : Launched at Rs. 9.69 lakhs

Sophisticated and sporty - KIA confirms the name of its all-new crossover,

The Kia Seltos SUV (SP Concept). EDIT : Launched at Rs. 9.69 lakhs-1.jpg

The name of the Kia Seltos is inspired by Greek mythology and the legend of ‘Celtos’, the son of Hercules.

Quote:
Representing the brave and assertive spirit of Celtos, the ‘S’ in the vehicle’s adapted name implies speed and sportiness. The Seltos has been created for the millennial generation, standing apart from its rivals with a combination of sophisticated, sporty design and the space and capabilities of a traditional SUV – all in a compact package.
Quote:
Aimed at youthful, tech-savvy buyers, the cabin is characterized by broad, sweeping shapes and highly technical details. Equipped with a range of technologies to maximize convenience, connectivity and ease of use, the bold design of the cabin incorporates a high-tech 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and Sound Mood Lighting
Quote:
Kia Motors is extending its range of SUVs to fulfill the needs of customers in every market, with the new model bringing many of Kia’s strengths – in design, quality and technology – to the compact SUV segment for the first time

The Kia Seltos will be revealed later this month, with sales in Korea and other regions to follow in the second half of 2019.

So the whole naming contest that had thrown up names like the Trailster/Tusker/Trazor was all just a gimmick!

The KIA Experience Centre is getting ready in Cyber Hub, Gurgaon. I am given to understand that it will be ready by mid-July.

After Hector now it is Seltos. Greek seems to be the flavor of the season. What next, Achilles!!

Interestingly, sightings of the Kia SP mule in and around Chennai are wearing TN87 (Hyundai test plates). This means either Hyundai is doing some testing for Kia or Hyundai is testing components etc for next-gen Creta which is expected to be based on the Celtos.

The Kia SP Mules that are being tested by Kia are mostly having AP red plates.

Would have preferred the name TUSKER for India, but the good thing is that Kia seems to standardise the name 'SELTOS' internationally instead of having different names in different markets/countries.

Had not Kia run a online competition where folks were asked to suggest names and there were prices to be won? Seltos is outcome of the competition? Anyway if everything else is in place, name should not be a concern.

Spotted the Kia Seltos camouflaged just outside the Kia Factory at Anantapur when I was returning to Hyderabad from Bangalore today.

The stance looks amazing. Better than it looked on those ad shoot images leaked earlier. I can spot the much needed side window curtain mesh. Looks like KIA’s market research was spot on in India. Can’t wait for 20th June. KIA don’t play spoilsport with prices please!!

Sale I heard is going to happen in September, take it with a grain of salt though.

re: The Kia Seltos SUV (SP Concept). EDIT : Launched at Rs. 9.69 lakhs

A quick observation, check out the wheels pictured here (as we've being spotting the mules with this design since a while now)



^ The tyre profile looks thicker & rims dont seem 18" ers.

Now check out the rims (same design) on the US Seltos, which are clearly 18" with low profile tyres (235/45 R18);



Conclusion - Indian model will get the same design with 17" rims ? Or 18" rims with thicker profile ?
