Kia Motors Unveil the Seltos!

There are Compact Crossovers and then there’s the Kia Seltos, which was unveiled last night by Kia Motors Philippines as their next generation SUV for the hip Filipino Millenials. In fact the Philippines were the third country to be added in the market to have launched the Kia Seltos following India and South Korea.

Amidst the ever growing interest in the market for the Compact Crossover/SUV that is aligned also for the Filipino consumer the Kia Seltos certainly has arrived in the right time for those who like small cars that are elevated, which is also a practical need for those living outside the city.


The Kia Seltos was based from the Kia SP Signature concept car, which was showcased at the 2018 Auto Expo in February 2018. Its name is derived from "Celtos", the son of Hercules in Greek mythology.









The Seltos is the first Kia vehicle in the India market, where it was first unveiled in 20 June 2019 followed by its release in South Korean and recently at the Blue Leave Pavilion in McKinley Hill, Manila in the Philippines. The Seltos is manufactured in Gwangju, South Korea and Andhra Pradesh, India. There have been three model variations line-up that will be available for the Philippine market and they are 2.0 SX AT (PHP 1.498M), 2.0 EX AT (PHP 1.198M), and 2.0 LX AT (PHP 1.098M).

Kia Motors Philippines make sure their Compact Crossover/SUV is no pushover as it is not only geared for those intro technologies it can be for the whole family. No matter the trips ahead of you, Kia has a new vehicle that inspires for those who dared to travel in the most exciting and thrilling places.
