LOS ANGELES, November 20, 2019 – Rugged, refined and right-sized, the all-new Seltos energizes the Entry SUV segment with a personality all its own.

According to leaked image of Kia's New Model Launch Schedule, an electric version of the Seltos is expected to be released in the second half of 2020.
