Kia Seltos Imagined As Bigger 7-Seater SUV
Kia Seltos, the maiden offering of the South Korean carmaker, has been doing wonders in terms of sales in the country. Favoured for its modern styling, premium interior and multiple engine-gearbox options, the Seltos has clocked sales over 81,000 units within 9 months of its arrival. Though, there is always room for more, especially if you ask any marketing specialists. Could there be a 7-seater Kia Seltos? As of now, no one really knows, but here’s an imagination put up by a render.
A latest digital rendering previews the Kia Seltos 7-seater SUV with extended rear section. While the wheelbase of the SUV remains unchanged, its length has been increased to accommodate an additional third row of seats.
Minimal changes have been made to its front end. The 7-seater SUV carries a newly-designed radiator grille with chrome treatment, a revised bumper and updated fog lamps. The SUV has been fitted with a new set of alloy wheels. Most of the design bits remain intact including the signature Tiger Nose grille, headlamps, bold shoulder creases and roof rails.
