2021 Nissan Qashqai Midnight Edition

Box-office popularity and critical acclaim don’t always align. Sometimes the biggest cinematic hits fall foul of the critics, leaving hearts of the masses and bums on seats to outweigh the minds of a learned few. Ticket sales reign supreme and it’s deemed a success.

The Nissan Qashqai has, for the most part, lived up to this scenario since its inception (previously branded Dualis Down Under). While it doesn’t top the VFACTS sales charts and it’s unlikely to win a group comparison test, the Qashqai is a consistent seller. Tied to a strong brand, the Qashqai offers families big value from their small SUV.

However, it’s been around a while – since 2014, in fact. So, to keep interest high and customers walking back into post-Covid showrooms, Nissan has delved into the gloss-black-paint reserves to create the Midnight Edition.

  What does it cost to own?

The Qashqai is covered by a five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty, which is pretty standard within the industry these days. Servicing is every 12 months or 10,000km (whichever comes first), but you can also opt for a capped-price servicing plan that runs for 12 years/120,000km. Five years of roadside assistance is available.

What’s the exterior like?

In PR-speak, “Nissan invites you to own the night”… what that translates to is a heap of black accents being added to the known styling. And to be fair, it does the trick, with the Midnight Edition offering meaningful flair to keep the Qashqai ageing gracefully. For a known design, the special edition adds an on-road presence.

This is created via a Gloss Black V-motion grille, while the front and rear bumper blades and roof rails gain the same treatment. Darkened LED head (adaptive) and taillights feature, too, as well as body-coloured mouldings. The auto-folding wing mirrors gain gloss black, as do the 19-inch alloy wheels.

There are five exterior colours to choose from and include Vivid Blue, Ivory Pearl, Gun Metallic, Magnetic Red and Pearl Black.

What’s the interior like?

Yes, you guessed it, the black theme continues inside, too. And in a mind-bending juxtaposition, brightens up the tried and tested Qashqai design in line with the exterior. Both gloss and brushed black accents abound, including a black roof headliner, as well as part leather/Alcantara seats and illuminated kick plates.

The benefit of the larger dimensions against the class norm (the Qashqai is 4394mm long, 1086mm wide, 1595mm tall and with a 2646mm wheelbase) is a spacious cabin. All five occupants enjoy generous head, leg and toe room front to back, with the back pews gaining a central armrest with cup holders when four-up.

Despite its almost range-topping status, the Midnight Edition misses out on heated front seats and power adjustment (even for the driver), as well as digital dual-zone climate control. Yet, overall, the styling tweaks give the ergonomically sound cabin a bit of a second wind. The new steering wheel is also a highlight, feeling nice in hand.

What’s the infotainment like?

Updated for the current-gen model, the Qashqai gains a 7.0-inch colour touchscreen to handle the infotainment. It’s on the small side, meaning you have to be precise with your inputs and the graphics are dated. Still, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as is DAB+ digital radio, which plays through a six-speaker audio system. The instrument cluster gains a 4.2-inch screen for features like the digital speedo.

Something left wanting, and a sign of the Qashqai’s 2014 ilk, is a lack of USB and USB-C ports. There are none in the back, and just a single port is hidden in the centre storage bin. And there’s no wireless charging, either. The upcoming third generation can’t arrive soon enough.

What is the storage like?

Given its ‘small’ SUV category designation, the Qashqai offers space some of the competition can’t match. The boot is 430 litres, extending to 1598 litres with the 60/40-split rear seats folded. There is a bit of a step up from the boot floor when the rear seats are stowed, however, the load bay is flat and the lip isn’t too intrusive when heaving in weighty/bulky items.

The centre console is endowed with a cavernous storage compartment and further bolstered by numerous provisions for cups, bottles, keys, wallets and sunglasses. Basically, there are a plethora of places to put a family’s worth of items.

What engines are available?

You can have any engine you want, as long as it’s a naturally aspirated four-cylinder. Its relatively large capacity does its best to mask a lack of torque compared to smaller, turbocharged units, with the 2.0-litre unit producing 200Nm. Combined with 106kW of power, the Midnight Edition offers ‘enough’ grunt to cope with the 1392kg kerb weight and fulfil its intended use… just.

Within city limits, the Qashqai operates amicably and the CVT is one of the better units on the market. Where it becomes strained is open-road overtaking, especially given power and torque are developed high in the rev range (6000 and 4400rpm respectively). The 2.0-litre four-pot sounds strained, too, as the CVT perches the tacho needle high in the rev range.

What about the fuel economy?

Officially the Qashqai Midnight Edition is rated at 6.9L/100km on a combined cycle. However, throughout testing the trip computer returned eights, even when pushing the oddly placed Eco mode button for frugal driving. It’s a shame some of the Nissan/Renault alliance turbo petrol and diesel engines offered in other markets aren’t available here.

What’s it like to drive? 

All the controls are light, progressive and easy to use for the daily grind and family hauling. Driven within these parameters the Midnight Edition ticks boxes by being easy to live with. The brakes are strong and progressive, the steering is light for city car parks and the stepped-ratio CVT mimics a conventional torque-converter automatic with six ratios for a ‘manual mode’. The suspension tune leans towards the stiff side. However, the dampers offer enough control on the rebound to prevent pogoing. Still, overall, it’s a bit too firm to be branded cosseting.

A somewhat interesting move is the fitment of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres (225/45 front to rear) to the test car. It’s a lot of rubber for a humble SUV, especially given its usual performance-based applications. And while the sticky hoops offer the safety of heightened grip levels, it’s almost too much as the body struggles to match their competence, exacerbating the Qashqai’s roll. There’s also noticeable kickback and rack rattle through the steering wheel on poor surfaces.

How safe is the Qashqai?

The Qashqai range receives a five-star ANCAP safety rating, but it’s worth keeping in mind the score is carried over from the 2017 model year. Nissan Intelligent mobility active-safety includes blind-spot warning, lane-departure warning, emergency braking (AEB), rear cross-traffic alert 360-degree surround-view camera with parking sensors and intelligent driver alert. ISOFIX is fitted to the two outboard rear seats.

Sadly, given the price point, active cruise control, pedestrian/cyclist detection and lane-keeping with steering intervention aren’t standard, you have to step up to the Ti for that.

What are the alternatives?

Many. So many, in fact, it’s hard to list them all, so here are some of the key combatants. The never-say-die Mitsubishi ASX which, despite its age, keeps brewing a sales storm. In terms of racking up sales accolades, it’s the Lewis Hamilton of the small SUV segment. Like the Qashqai, it offers a lot of physical car for the monetary outlay.

Others to consider are the not-so-small Kia Seltos, dynamically talented Toyota C-HR, pragmatic Honda HR-V and the ‘funky’ Hyundai Kona. The Skoda Kamiq and Volkswagen T-Roc offer Euro quality, while the Mazda CX-30 pairs dynamics with a premium cabin. The choice is seemingly endless in this burgeoning class.  

The bottom line

The Qashqai is a classic case of ‘the more you spend, the less sense it makes. While the Midnight Edition jazzes things up a bit, there really isn’t much point extending into this price bracket. The metal-for-money equation that Nissan’s SUV does so well is no longer in its favour. At $28,290 (manual) and $30,290 (auto), the entry-level ST is about all the Qashqai you’ll ever need. The superior space and easy-to-live-with nature make it appealing to the masses.

So, while the Midnight Edition conjures visual delight and, somewhat out of character, offers grippy performance-orientated rubber, it isn’t the variant to buy. It’s also worth keeping in mind that a new Qashqai is, we’re told, around the corner.

Kia Seltos 

The Seltos is Kia’s first model in India commissioned with the uphill task of establishing the Korean auto giant in the Indian market. It unsurprisingly did not disappoint.

You can opt for the 1.5-litre petrol, 1.4-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines. The individual engines are available with manual and automatic gearbox options. All versions of the Seltos are BS6 compliant with the manufacturer keeping a check on the latest norms. 

 Mahindra Thar

The Mahindra Thar is the true off-roader. The all-terrain monster can negotiate the beaten track like no other. The car is surprisingly capable as an everyday vehicle with creature comforts like AC, climate control, and telescopic steering. The all new Thar is an embodiment of the original Jeep with its boxy looks and well shaped front and rear bumpers.  The Thar is available with diesel and petrol engine options and there are three roof options as well.

 MG Hector

The Hector is Chinese-owned British carmaker Morris Garages’ initiation to the Indian market. At first glance, it sure has some interesting ingredients to offer. An eye catching design, massive proportions and new-age tech make it a well-rounded package that should definitely be on the radar of prospective mid-size SUV owners. The car’s engine choices include a petrol-manual, a petrol-automatic and a diesel-manual. There is also the option of mild-hybrid technology on the petrol-manual powertrain. A major talking point is the industry first 5 year/unlimited km warranty that the car offers.

Hyundai Creta

The Hyundai Creta has been without doubt one of the most successful vehicles that has come from the  Hyundai stables. The car got an all new 2020 facelift with a host of cosmetic and mechanical upgrades.  One of the prominent features of the new Creta is a bold front grille with an updated set of tail lamps. The interior remains disguised, but it is likely to have the same layout as the current model. When it comes to the engine options, the new car gets a 115PS 1.5-litre diesel and 140PS 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine with a 6-speed manual, automatic and a 7-speed DCT gearbox options.

Mahindra Scorpio 

The Scorpio SUV is undoubtedly Mahindra’s biggest hit. Its tough build makes it well-suited to rough usage and to many, the upright shape gives it the right image too. The Mahindra Scorpio is available in 7-, 8- and 9-seat configurations and there are lots of versions to choose from. Automatic transmission isn’t on offer but you can choose from 2.5-litre and 2.2-litre diesel engines; the latter is available in two states of tune, and four-wheel drive is also an option.

 Toyota Innova Crysta

The Innova Crysta is a popular MUV (Multi Utility Vehicle) from the Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota. The car was first launched in May 2008 and has since seen a number of upgrades including the 2016 Crysta. The car gets cosmetic and mechanical upgrades and is bigger, better looking and more luxurious than ever before. It also boasts a BS6 compliant 2.4-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine and a 2.7-litre petrol engine. 

 Mahindra XUV 500

The XUV 500 is a 7 seater SUV from the Indian automobile manufacturer Mahindra. The car was first introduced in 2011 and has seen multiple upgrades including a facelift in 2017. The XUV 500 new model gets more power, new features and a long-overdue automatic transmission. The XUV500 is available in petrol-auto, diesel-manual and diesel-auto forms while the diesels can also be had with all-wheel drive. Powering the diesel is a 2.2 liter mHawk engine that delivers 140bhp of power and 320Nm of torque; while the petrol motor is a 2.2-litre mHawk engine that delivers 140bhp of power and 320Nm of torque.

 Jeep Compass

The Jeep Compass Is an all-round SUV that’s perfectly made for India. Tough, capable and built to last, the Compass feels like a proper Jeep. The standard Compass is available in petrol-manual, petrol-auto, diesel-manual and diesel-auto forms, the latter two of which can be had with all-wheel drive as well. The whole range was given a facelift in early 2021, which remained mechanically unchanged but brought significant improvements to the interior. The new model Compass has taken things to proper luxury car levels in terms of quality, appointments and equipment.

 Tata Safari

The lord of the SUVs, the Tata Safari is back in an all new avatar. Tata has brought the Safari name back, a seven-seat cousin of the Harrier. Unlike previous Safaris, which used ladder-frame chassis and traditional, rear-biased 4x4, the new one borrows the Harrier’s (actually Land Rover) D8 platform and is front-wheel-drive only. It's powered by a 170hp FCA-sourced 2.0-litre diesel engine, which can be had with either a six-speed manual or six-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox.

Tata Harrier

The Harrier is a premium SUV from the Indian automobile manufacturer Tata. The car was first introduced in 2019 and has seen one upgrade including a facelift in 2020. The new Harrier gets more power, new features and a long-overdue automatic transmission. One of the defining features of the Harrier is the Land Rover platform that the SUV has been built on. This makes the Harrier a force to reckon with. This platform is powered by the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel. The engine also happens to power the Jeep Compass, which is a 170hp power-house of a motor. 

 Final Thoughts

Rugged looks, big tyres and a go-getter attitude make the modern SUVs in India a sophisticated piece of engineering. If you are looking for an SUV under 20 Lakhs, make sure to go through our list carefully before coming to a decision on which SUV to buy. Understanding key specifications like engine type, seating capacity and price are key factors in getting the right SUV.  

Remember to Buy Insurance

Kushaq kicks off India 2.0 project

The Volkswagen Group's India 2.0 project was kick-started in 2018, and over two and a half years later, the company is ready to roll out the first model from this project, the Kushaq midsize SUV. The significance of this launch can be gauged by the fact that VW has invested €1 billion (approx. Rs 7,900 crore) into the India 2.0 project.

Vision IN to Kushaq

Welcome to our LIVE coverage!

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Tech2's LIVE coverage of the launch of the Skoda Kushaq. The Kushaq is easily one of the most eagerly anticipated launches of 2021, and we'll bring you updates straight from the event, which begins in just about an hour from now. 

Today is the day: the launch of the much-awaited Skoda Kushaq is only some time away. Despite the hurdles posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Skoda has managed to keep the Kushaq project on track as it gears up to enter a hotly-contested segment in the Indian market. The Kushaq, being Skoda’s first offering in the burgeoning midsize SUV segment has plenty of expectations riding on its chiselled shoulders. It was previewed in concept form as the Vision IN at the Volkswagen Group Night in Delhi last year, and is the group’s first model to roll out under VW’s ambitious India 2.0 plan.

The Kushaq heavily borrows design elements from bigger Skoda SUVs such as the Karoq and Kodiaq and has a distinctive face with split LED headlight clusters and the signature Skoda grille. Other notable design elements include crystal-effect LED tail-lights, front and rear skid plates, heavy body cladding, prominent roof rails and chunky alloy wheels.

The Kushaq is based on Volkswagen AG’s customised-for-India MQB A0 IN platform, which is designed to accommodate up to 95 percent local content and will also form the base for the Taigun, as well as Skoda and Volkswagen’s new sedans, which are due at the end of this year. The Skoda Kushaq has a wheelbase of 2,651mm, which is 41mm longer than that of the king of India’s midsize SUV space, the Hyundai Creta.

Taking centre stage on the dashboard is a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The dashboard layout itself is somewhat similar to that of its cousin, the Volkswagen Taigun, and the centre console appears to be identical to the VW’s.

Top-spec Skoda Kushaq variants will be equipped with auto climate control, height-adjustable driver’s seat, and safety equipment will include up to six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), hill hold control, cruise control and a tyre pressure monitor. However, the Kushaq misses out on a full-digital instruments display; something that will be available on its mechanical twin, the Taigun.

The Skoda Kushaq will come with two turbo-petrol engine options – a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder unit making 110 hp, and a 1.5-litre, three-cylinder engine putting out 150 hp. A six-speed manual will be standard for both engines, but the 1.0-litre version will also be available with a six-speed torque-convertor automatic, while the 1.5-litre model will get the option of a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic (DSG). Those looking for a diesel SUV will be disappointed, because the Kushaq will not be offered with a diesel engine option.

8 Common Features Between Kia Seltos And Telluride (2020 WCOTY Winner)

Here we have listed the eight common features Kia Seltos sold in India and 2020 World Car Of The Year winner Kia Telluride have

Kia Motors India made a strong impression among domestic customers with its debut product, the Seltos. The mid-size SUV was introduced in August 2019 and it rose to fame in no time. It began beating Hyundai Creta in the monthly sales table only for the trend to still continue, except for December 2019.

The South Korean auto major went all in with the Seltos as it is offered with a wide range of engine and transmission options. Moreover, the features list and the price range appeal to a large band of customers wanting to own a five-seater SUV. You might have already known these but do you know that the Seltos and Telluride have several commonalities?

If not the list of features will shed the light on their common nature. For starters, the Kia Telluride is an eight-seater flagship SUV sold in the global markets and it has the largest footprint for any production Kia model. Furthermore, it won the coveted 2020 World Car Of The Year award recently.

This puts plenty of emphasis on the common features between Kia Telluride and Kia Seltos in the technology, safety, comfort, convenience and connectivity departments.

1. 10.25-inch Touchscreen Infotainment: 

The 10.25-inch HD touchscreen infotainment system is at the centre of action and displays navigation and information surrounding the audio along with acting as driver’s rear view monitor and parking guidance. The screen can even be customised screen with pinch zoom in and out for maps.

2. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto:

Another common feature between the Kia Seltos and Telluride is the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. It helps in easy integration of the smartphones for making calls and sending texts through voice command. Moreover, Google Maps can also be used to access music, predictive navigation, and Siri voice control amongst other applications.

3. UVO Link Telematics:

Kia’s UVO Connect technology has certainly been a difference maker when comparing the Seltos with its rivals and it covers five categories namely navigation, safety and security, vehicle management, remote control and convenience. It is also equipped with AI-powered voice recognition service to provide Safer and smarter connected car experience. The smartphone remote engine start is another useful feature.

4. Wireless Smartphone Charger And Electric Sunroof:

The Seltos has the charging pad allowing to charge a mobile phone wirelessly, just as in the Telluride while the electric sunroof gives the open air feel and is predominantly preferred by modern-day SUV buyers.

5. Ventilated Seats:

One of the modern day features both the Kia Seltos and Telluride have in common in the ventilated front seats that use fans and small perforations to improve the comfort of the driver as well as the co-passenger.

6. High Line Tyre Pressure Monitor:

It is more often people would not mind an awful lot about their car’s tyre pressure which does have an impact in mileage. Thus, the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in the Seltos provides convenience and acts an added measure of preventative safety. It does so by constantly monitoring tyre inflation pressures in all four tyres as in the Telluride and warns via light in the instrument cluster if the pressures drop below a certain range.

7. Blind View Monitor (BVM):

Kia has made sure the Seltos does not lack on the safety bits and thus a range of assistive and safety technologies is provided in top-end variants including the Blind View Monitor (BVM). It gives the driver a live video of the car’s blind spot inside the instrument cluster. The video is recorded on the camera mounted on the mirror when the turn signals activate.

8. HAC (Hill-start Assist Control):

Both the Kia Seltos and Telluride are sold with Hill Start Assist Control (HAC). It is another layer of safety when moving from a stop on steep climbs. It prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards by gradually applying brakes for two seconds while you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator.

Kia Motors is all set to launch the Kia Seltos, their first product in India on 22nd of August and create a slight discomfort in the compact and mid SUV segment in India. We got our hands on the Seltos and here is what we will inform you about the Kia Seltos.

The Seltos comes in two trims, the GT and the HT line. 

Design (Exterior)

The Kia Seltos puts on a commanding look upfront sporting Kia’s signature Tiger nose grille with LED Headlamps and DRLs running from the corner to the centre of the grille. Vertically placed ice cube fog lamps, trapezoid air dams upfront come with red accents on the GT Line.

Move to the side and you notice the squared off wheel arches and body cladding running all around the car. Kia offers Diamond cut and Gun meal 17 inch alloys for GT and HT variants respectively. Subtle Chrome strips from the windowsill running up to the end of the quarter panel gives the Seltos a premium look.

The rear looks rather wide and LED lamps continue at the back as well. A spoiler, thick chrome strip, a skid plate and faux exhausts complete the rear look of the Seltos. The GT line also gets red accents on the rear bumper, adding to the sporty nature of the Seltos. 

Design (Interior)

The Kia Seltos comes with 10.25-inch touch screen infotainment system with a ton of features. 8.0 inch heads display, leather wrapped flat bottom steering wheel and 7-inch instrument cluster highlight the interior. The GT line also comes with red stitches on the seats, gear lever cover and arm rests.

Split screen reverse camera, indicator cameras, tyre pressure monitor, aluminium pedals, UVO connectivity, Sound mood interior lightings and an air purifier are a few more to mention among a packed feature list. 

Engine options and variants

The Seltos comes with 3 engine options, the 1.5 Litre Diesel, 1.5 Litre Petrol and a 1.4 Litre Turbo Petrol. The 1.5 litre Diesel packs 115PS of power and 250Nm of torque and comes with a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission options. 

The 1.5 litre petrol producing 115PS of power and 114Nm of torque comes with a 6-speed manual and a CVT option, while the GT Line 1.4 Litre Turbo Petrol T-GDI (Turbo – Gasoline direct injection) throws out 140PS and 242Nm of torque and comes with a 7-speed CVT and 6-speed Manual transmission options. 

Kia offers 8 different variants of the Seltos with 3 under the GT line ( GT K, GT X and GT X+) and 5 under the HT line (HT E, HT K, HT K+, HT X and HT X+).

What impressed us?

Editor notes

Seltos deserves the Best-looking SUV tag. Complementing to design, the quality of product, overall drive-ability and stability which it offers is mind blowing. The Headsup display (HUD) is a game-changer here. A mid-SUV offering so many features at this price point is pretty surprising.

Be it Sunroof, 360 degree camera, Air purifier, UVO connectivity, DCT engine and wide variety of engine options (diesel, petrol, automatic , manual), drive modes, space and comfort, build quality, safety, practicality – it ticks all the boxes. The Kia SELTOS definitely stands out from regular SUVs which you currently see in the Indian car market.

Kia Seltos Review – A New Benchmark for SUVs in India! Kia Motors is all set to launch the Kia Seltos, their first product in India on…

[runridedive]

The new KIA Seltos

The new KIA Seltos brings sophistication, assertiveness and cutting-edge technology and safety features to the global compact SUV segment. KIA revealed the Seltos for the first time globally today at a special event in Delhi, India.

The Seltos will be manufactured for different regions at two of KIA’s production facilities – in Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh, India, and Gwangju, Korea. A new entrant into the Indian market, KIA plans to commence retail sales in the country with the highest number of dealerships ever seen from a new car entrant into the market. Kia has also partnered with India’s eight leading financial institutions to offer comprehensive financial services to customers across the country.

The all-new KIA Seltos is characterised by distinctive design details, lending the compact SUV an air of understated sportiness. It combines forward-looking technical features, class-leading space and a suite of world-class safety features, and is powered by a choice of highly-efficient Smartstream petrol and diesel engines, while providing outstanding value for money.

Mr. Han-Woo Park, President and CEO, KIA Motors Corporation, commented: “The Seltos is an important car for KIA as it will play a central role in the expansion of our global footprint.

Seltos is aimed at youthful, tech-savvy buyers and is packed full of our most cutting-edge technology and safety equipment.”

Exterior design: A sporty and sophisticated compact SUV

The Seltos stands apart from its rivals with thanks to its sophisticated, sporty design and the space and capabilities of a traditional SUV – all in a compact package.

The Seltos offers distinctive exterior design details, such as its long hood, a strong, character line on the front bumper, and sharp lines pressed into the bodywork. It also sports a wide ‘tiger nose grille’, making the car instantly recognizable as a KIA, but with a difference. Its robust shoulder line and glasshouse shape, which tapers towards the rear of the car, lends the compact SUV an air of understated sportiness. The rear bumper with a metallic muffler effect accentuates this dynamic appearance.

Seltos is equipped with intricate and sharply designed full LED headlights and taillights, providing the car with a commanding and confident presence on the road. For daytime driving, the car also has LED daytime running lights and rear lamps, and 3D multi-layer indicators to make it clear exactly where the Seltos is heading. For driving in foggy conditions, the car is also equipped with LED fog lights.

The Kia Seltos sits on a choice of 16-, 17- or 18-inch premium crystal cut alloy wheels, which complement the dimensions of the car, lending it a powerful stance. The wheels are shod with high-grip 205/60 R16, 215/55 R17 or 235/45 R18 tyres.

Interior design: A forward-looking interior characterised by futuristic and high-quality materials

The interior of the Seltos is designed with high-quality, futuristic materials. Aimed at youthful, tech-savvy buyers, the cabin is characterised by broad, sweeping shapes and highly technical details. Equipped with a range of technologies to maximise convenience, connectivity and ease of use, the bold design of the cabin incorporates, in some models, a 10,25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and Sound Mood Lighting.

The ergonomics of the cabin allow the driver to sit comfortably with a commanding view, helping to focus on driving and naturally reduce fatigue. Within the lounge-like and spacious interior, the Seltos also houses, in some models, an 8,0-inch Head-Up Display system which unobtrusively projects relevant driving information on to a small glass panel behind the steering wheel – such as turn-by-turn navigation directions and vehicle speed information.

Higher specification models are also available with a premium eight-speaker Bose audio system delivering clear, lifelike sound to all Seltos passengers.

Performance

A range of highly efficient Smartstream petrol and diesel engines

The Seltos comes equipped with a range of newly developed third-generation powertrains for high efficiency and powerful performance. All powertrains – which include normally aspirated as well as turbocharged petrol engines, as well as turbocharged diesel options – are engineered with KIA’s Smartstream technology for improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions.

Depending on the market, the Seltos will be offered with up to three automatic transmission options to suit their needs and driving style, including a seven speed dual clutch transmission (7DCT), a six-speed automatic transmission (6AT) and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) .

To further elevate the driving experience, the Seltos is equipped with a Drive Mode Select system that lets drivers adapt the car to their preferred style or the road conditions. Drivers can choose from ‘Normal’, ‘Eco’ and ‘Sport’ mode. The Eco mode is tuned to maximise vehicle range by using fuel-saving measures, while Sport mode increases responses from the steering and electric motor to maximise the dynamic driving feel of the car. Normal mode provides a careful balance between the two.

Technologies and features: Market and world-first features in its segment

The Seltos is a technologically advanced and refined compact SUV equipped with a range of market and world-first features designed to make driving safer and less stressful, while also providing total ease of operation.

The car’s 10,25-inch advanced infotainment system is packed full of technology and gives advanced split-screen functionality. This allows users to control or monitor numerous vehicle features at the same time, and customize the screen to display up to three applications simultaneously. The driver, therefore, can choose to have a single display (such as navigation) or combine different elements on-screen.

Other segment-first features include a Bose eight-speaker premium sound system that fills the car with a rich and immersive sound, taking in-car entertainment to a new level.

The cabin is also fitted with an optional Sound Mood Lighting system, emitting soft light from panels in the doors. This includes a unique 3D-patterned surface on the door panels. The Sound Mood Lighting system pulses in time to the beat of music playing through the audio system, with eight customisable colours and six themes illuminating the cabin.

Safety: Full range of advanced active safety systems available

KIA’s passive and active safety systems ensure that Seltos occupants remain well protected on every journey. Its body is made up of a blend of steel and aluminium, maximising torsional rigidity while keeping body weight low. With a high proportion of Advanced High-Strength Steel components, the rigid bodyshell reduces road vibrations and enhances occupant safety in the event of a collision.

The Seltos is fitted with six airbags, as well as a suite of electronic vehicle safety systems. These include KIA’s Vehicle Stability Management system as standard, incorporating traction control and electronic stability control. Depending on model and market, the car is also fitted with an Anti-lock Braking System, a Traction Control System, a Brake-force Assist System and Hill-start Assist Control, as well as front and rear parking sensors.

Built in Korea and India

KIA Seltos production will be based at two of KIA’s production facilities – in Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh, India, and in Gwangju, Korea. Sales will commence in select global markets in the second half of 2019.

The all-new KIA Seltos is expected to make its South African debut early in 2020.
