We had already reported the ten new additions the 2020 Seltos will be featuring but here’s a quick brush-up:

For starters, emergency start stop signal and rear USB chargers are standard on all variants while the automatic variants benefit from remote engine start stop through the keyfob. The UVO connected car technology now features voice command-based feature activation with the hot word “Hello Kia” and UVO smartwatch app connectivity. The top-spec HTX+ and GTX+ variants now come with a new dual-tone orange/white colour scheme. Further, you can now opt for a sunroof in the dual-tone variants. Here’s a detailed table of the variants which will benefit from these new features:
