So at this point, anyone still searching on YouTube for Seltos videos has seen all the redesigned Seltos videos. Some have (IMHO) incorrectly called this the 2023 facelift. Some have referred to it as the 2023 Japanese Market trim. Now some are, I suspect correctly, referring to it as the 2024 facelift.
We've all seen the pictures, many of the videos are commenting on pictures alone.
This video I found comes from Motorgraph World, a specifically South Korean magazine covering Hyundai, Kia, Genesis, Ssangyong, GM Korea, and Renault Samsung (didn't know that was a thing).
How this review differs from the others is that it's an 'actual' hands-on look including a road test.
Some interesting points not covered in prior reviews I've watched. Keep in mind this would be the Korean Spec.

Personally, prefer the current exterior. Like the liftgate. Extra hrsprs is nice. The rotary drive selector I can live with. Fabrics, though I like the Caramel I don't like their use of two-tone on the seats. And my most strong opinion, HATE the panoramic display.

- 1.6l Turbo engine they claim has increased horsepower from 177 ps to 198 ps. Seems believable seeing as the Hyundai Kona has the 1.6l Turbo engine at 195 hp (198ps is 195.2 hp).
- They claim a change from 7 speed to 8 speed transmission.
- Electric liftgate. Confirmed in video.
- New interior fabric trims. She calls it Camel. Did she mean Caramel?
- Panoramic display
- Rotary drive selection
