We were shared a Kia Seltos crossover advertising banner on facebook this morning and after checking with the Kia Malaysia office we were told that this is private initiative from a Kia dealer and Naza Kia has not yet confirmed the model specifications and also the selling price for this all new model. The Kia dealer has been creative to also include the picture of the facelift Kia Carnival which has just been launched to motivate Malaysians coming out of lockdown to make a visit to their showroom.
The Kia Seltos was first launched in India on August 22 last year amid an automotive industry demand slump in India. By October, Kia had delivered more than 12,850 units of the Seltos and by the end of 2019 some 26,840 units of the Seltos were running on Indian roads with their happy customers. Today, the Kia Seltos has been a runaway success for the brand and its sales is growing fast in India.
Rugged, refined and right-sized, the Kia Seltos energizes the compact SUV segment with a personality all its own. As a utility vehicle with an abundance of attitude, the Seltos arrives in Malaysia with modern styling and a penchant for adventure, whether that means everyday driving around town or taking in the great Malaysia interstate roads on the weekends.
Complementing Kia’s current robust SUV lineup and following on the heels of the Kia Sportage, this Kia Seltos slots in below the popular Sportage and Sorento, providing a comfortable and tech-savvy cabin, with a well-tested and spirited 1.6-liter engine. Looking at all it has to offer, it’s no wonder this 2020 Kia Seltos is poised and ready to become a true contender in one of the fastest growing segments in the industry.
Similar to Kia Telluride’s (not yet launched in Malaysia) design theme, the Seltos is a marriage of bold design and delicate details, and stands apart from rivals with its strong, upright stance. The tall front end and 7.2-inch ground clearance translate to a tough attitude and an adventurous spirit. Its assertive presence is spearheaded by Kia’s signature tiger nose grille that includes unexpected diamond-like detail. Chiseled surfaces and well-drawn lines lead back to a distinctive profile highlighted by a chrome beltline that melds into the D-pillar for a streamlined appearance.
Following the government’s announcement on the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) on 1st May 2020, all Kia SALES SHOWROOM resumed their operations starting 4th May 2020 (Monday).
Kia says that they place the highest priority on the health and safety on their employees and customers during this critical period. Please be assured that they are strictly observing the stringent safety measures and operating procedures imposed by the local authority to ensure your visit to their outlets will be safe and comfortable for you.
