Re: Rumour: Kia Seltos to get a panoramic sunroof soon

My biggest complaint against all automakers but mainly Kia since I own one, is that some updates should be given to customers at a price. After all, these companies make most of their money through service and spares. Why not provide updates such as sunroof, paddle shifters, new logos and the updated voice command system to older customers as well. Of course, the willing ones and fanboys or enthusiasts would pay, but the option should be there rather than going for an entire new car after about three years for a meagre few more features. Food for thought automakers.

Any information if it will also get auto hold functionality? If not, it would be a huge miss.

It's simple. These changes won't be as good as the factory finish. These will be available at only dealer level, and the negative publicity due to inconsistencies expected from a dealer level job is what everyone wants to avoid.

Secondly, changes like Pano Sunroof, Paddle shifters etc. will be a very complex change which is not worth the hassle for any manufacturer.

Thirdly, there is a section of buyers who change their cars at around every 3 odd years. Manufacturers will miss out on such buyers.

Re: Rumour: Kia Seltos to get a panoramic sunroof soon

According to CarandBike, 2021 Kia Seltos will not get the Panoramic Sunroof. Updated Seltos confirmed for April 27 launch.

Quote:
carandbike can exclusively confirm that the 2021 Kia Seltos will not get a panoramic sunroof, like several of its rivals, but the model is in line for a subtle refresh and will be the first Kia car in India to get the new brand logo.

A source close to the development of the model has confirmed the detail to carandbike.

Re: Rumour: Kia Seltos to get a panoramic sunroof soon

I think the quote gives it away. So we can expect Gravity edition.

I got a call from my dealer regarding my GTX+ booking the day before yesterday. He said the factory can deliver the car this month so do I want to continue or wait for facelift, as there is no official word on the facelift. I decided to wait. I hope the Gravity edition has all the feature they offered in Korea.
One bit that has been nagging me is the integrated dashboard and infotainment. I don't know why they have it for right hand drive models. I hope they split it the way they have in left had drive models.

Cheers !!

Re: Rumour: Kia Seltos to get a panoramic sunroof soon

Guys i am confused !
Has any leak mentioned or hinted at Panaromic Sunroof for all variants? Like HTX and GTX or it will only be available in the Gravity Edition?
Thanks

As stated in the car and bike article (shared above), panoramic sunroof is only limited to the gravity edition. None of the other variants would supposedly get it.

Have got to wait and see if they at least get the paddle shifters, HSA, ESC, 6 air bags in the lower variants.

Re: Rumour: Kia Seltos to get a panoramic sunroof soon

So will the Kia Seltos Gravity be slotted above the GTX+ trim?And the existing lineup will get only minor updates? Is that the understanding?

Re: Rumour: Kia Seltos to get a panoramic sunroof soon

Hoping the 2021 model rejig extends beyond a Pano sunroof and provides interior trim options on the GTX models other than black (previous ice grey /whitish beige looked far more airy).

Sunroof? How? take your car back and place it in the middle of a production line and get a robot to laser cut it? You do realise you can just go to a specialist like webasto and get it done.
Paddle shifters? Hmm, depends on the ECU, TBH. Like in VAG gars, you can just replace the steering wheel and have paddle shifters. (see suhas307's polo thread). If there are other changes, well, sorry you're out of luck.

New logos? Just buy them and stick them on.

Voice command? its a gimmick.
