Kia Seltos is currently the top-selling SUV in the country. In October 2021, the SUV registered total sales of 10,488 units and outnumbered its arch rival (Hyundai Creta) with a huge margin. Hyundai managed to sell 6,455 units of the Creta opposed to 14,023 units of the same month last year, recording a sales decline of 54 percent. We have reported earlier that Kia is working on electric iteration of the Seltos SUV that will make global debut in coming years.
Ahead of its official unveiling, a latest digital rendering previews a possible design of the Kia Seltos Electric SUV. The rendered Kia Seltos EV has blue highlights on the front Tiger Nose grille, window lines, wheel hub, roof and side profile. One can notice the Blue strip on the headlamps and fog lamp assembly. The signature badged placed just above the grille has also been embossed in Blue accent. The SUV has been equipped with the airless tyres (non-pneumatic) featuring bread-like pattern.
While official details of the new Kia Seltos Electric SUV are yet to be revealed, it’s reported to be offered with the Standard and Long Range battery options. It could be made available with the 64kWh battery pack and a 204bhp electric motor. The same powertrain does duty in the globally sold Kia Soul EV. It offers a claimed range of around 400km on a single charge. The Standard version might use the 39.2kWh lithium-ion battery with 136bhp electric motor. It offers an electric range of 312km.
