KEY TAKEAWAYS
What powers the Kia Seltos?
The Kia Seltos is powered by a 2.0-liter dual-CVVT Atkinson Cycle gasoline engine mated to an intelligent variable transmission (IVT).How much is the Kia Seltos?
Prices range from P1.18 million to P1.535 million.The Seltos was launched in the country in 2019, positioned as the perfect SUV for young professionals and for people who would like to have a vehicle upgrade. Although there were already a lot of popular SUVs in the market when the Seltos was first introduced, it still managed to captivate the interest of many Filipino car buyers.
What makes the Seltos a head-turner, aside from its muscular curves, is its two-tone exterior color. The Seltos comes in two two-tone color variants: Cherry Black with Starbright Yellow and Cherry Black with Clear White. These hues make the Seltos look like a fun and less intimidating ride that is perfect for new drivers and young professionals.
Customers can also choose among the Seltos’ five other monotone color variants: Starbright Yellow, Gravity Grey, Iron Grey, Dark Ocean Blue, and Mars Orange.
On the inside, the Seltos is equipped with an eight-inch touchscreen audio where you can connect your smartphone via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Equipped with four woofers and two tweeters, the Seltos audio system lets every occupant enjoy seamless music streaming to kill the boredom during long rides.
Under the hood of the Seltos is a 2.0-liter dual-CVVT Atkinson Cycle gasoline engine mated to an intelligent variable transmission (IVT). IVT is designed with an adaptive shift logic for smoother, more linear acceleration and better fuel economy. What makes it different from continuously variable transmission (CVT) is the use of a chain belt instead of a traditional push belt, making the IVT more reliable and more beneficial in reducing droning sounds.
To ensure that every occupant is safe and protected in the event of a collision, the Seltos is equipped with driver airbag, front passenger airbag, front side airbags, and side curtain airbags.
With all these features, the Seltos is definitely a practical choice for everyone who’s been looking for a new car. Not only is it good-looking, but it also delivers decent performance and offers a host of features that will make every ride smooth, safe, and hassle-free.
