Re: 2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Review

Turning off the auto hold function increased mileage by 1.5 kmpl in my friend's hector during city drives. Can we expect similar with Seltos? I would certainly try this post one of the tankfulls.

You are right. I was trying to test them with hazard lights so couldn’t see. Thanks.

I was wondering if turning off Idle Stop & Go would have the same effect, esp in crawling traffic, where stops are less than 10 seconds.
Although, the feature has to be turned off every time the car is turned on.

Re: 2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Review

Hi Guys
Has anyone bought Pharoah 3D Mats for the new Seltos GTX+? I am supposed to get my car delivered in 2nd week of Jan and I was looking for good mats and found that Pharoah is the best available. However, everywhere its description mentions it is designed for the Seltos (2020-22) model, and nowhere facelifted model is mentioned. So, I was wondering whether there is any fit issue for those who have bought them.

Product Link for Reference: https://amzn.eu/d/hKJlAOJ

Regards
Apoorv

Re: 2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Review

Guys, I'm a little annoyed that the trip meter automatically resets every time engine is switched off. If I’m going on a long trip, and stop for refuelling (both car and myself), the trip meter resets Any tips/tricks to handle this?

P.S: The “accumulated trip info” and “since refuelling” don’t get reset, but the “drive info” gets reset every time the engine is switched off.

If you are looking for detailed drive distances, times and speed etc for every day, you can find them through the Kia connect app. Go to Vehicle management > Driving info> driving info detail . Then Click on the date. Below that you will get the time. Click on the time and it will show you the details.

Thank you. I'm aware of this. But it's not really convenient. When I'm going on a long trip, I'd like to get a bird's eye view of the total distance covered, total time and fuel efficiency. That's how it was on my 14-year old i20. I wish there was a way with Kia as well

Pharoah heavily invests in social media marketing, but I find them heavily overpriced. Also, mats made for older Seltos won't fit the newer ones. I went with GFX and very happy with the quality. I don't find them on Amazon, but you can buy from Zapcart - https://zapcart.in/collections/kia-3...tomatic-manual

Re: 2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Review

Has anyone tried OTA? It asks for usb storage when I tried. Why are they calling it "Over The Air" update when they still need usb storage?

Thank you for posting this question.

Folks, there is a new navigation update available for select cars/models (2023 Seltos is mentioned). Please refer this link.

https://update.kia.com/IN/E1/updateNoticeList

I was expecting KIA to provide an update to enable wireless AA/CP, but alas that is not to be.

Can someone post a step by step process to update the Seltos GTX+2023 facelift with above please. Read the above link but couldn't figure out where and how to use the USB. Or otherwise. Thanks.

Re: 2023 Kia Seltos Facelift Review

Finally was able to install the new updates in my GTX+. One requires a laptop/PC and a USB of atleast 32 GB (the update file size is about 17GB). Go to the link in the above post, download the installer. Run the installer and select region, Seltos, language etc. Format the USB to exFAT, if not already. All files must be removed from USB beforehand. Then it downloads the update files. Takes a while though. Start the car. Remove the USB from laptop/ PC and plug it in the car's USB port. Select Settings>General>Update settings and click update. Update starts in few seconds. It displays you can switch off the car while updates continue. I switched off the car.

In the morning I switched on the car again while USB was still plugged in. It said restoring data and rebooted. The installation of updates was complete. It mentioned that the update installed new music files and the maps. Checked the new music files, they worked. Will check the updated maps later. Hopefully, these maps are better than the previous version which I didn't use after few trials.

All in all happy and relieved that this tech driven process works.

I have the HTX 1.5 Petrol NA IVT with the smaller 4.2 inch mid, and I see 3 trip meters, 1 which says "since last reset", 1 which says "since last refuel", and 1 which says current / last trip... I'm guessing what you're looking for should be in the "since last reset". Although I haven't tried it on my own, since I'm still figuring out the functions, but my ODO reads 85 KM right now, and the since last reset reads somewhere around 70 (i.e. the point around where the car reached the stockyard.)

Don't have the "since last reset" option on my GTX+.

That's exactly what I was looking for. Need to raise a petition I guess

This is weird though! I just checked the manual, and for some reason, it doesn't show the "last reset" one in the manual. The manual does list the Accumulated Info which seems to be missing in my car! Now I'm wondering if I've hallucinated this. I'll try and snap some pictures and share back here, when I go for my next drive.
