Kia is set to turn up the heat in the midsize SUV segment once again with the arrival of the Kia Seltos X-Line, a bolder and more aggressive version of the popular SUV. Known for its sharp design, feature-rich cabin, and strong road presence, the Seltos has already carved a strong niche in the Indian market. With the bookings for the Seltos X-Line opening on May 7, the brand is now offering something even more exclusive and dynamic for SUV enthusiasts.
Aggressive and Premium Exterior Styling
The Kia Seltos X-Line takes the SUV’s design to the next level with a range of visual enhancements that set it apart from the regular variants. It features a distinctive Matte Graphite exterior paint that exudes premium appeal and sporty character. A gloss black grille with X-Line badging, smoked LED headlamps, and ice cube LED fog lamps give the front profile a powerful presence.
Adding to its rugged charm are the gunmetal skid plates, dark chrome accents, and a contrasting roof finish. The rear also carries the theme forward with sleek LED tail lamps, a prominent rear spoiler, and unique bumper styling. Exclusive 18-inch crystal-cut alloy wheels complete the SUV’s tough and stylish stance.
Sophisticated Cabin with X-Line Detailing
Inside, the Seltos X-Line gets an exclusive Sage Green interior theme, adding a sense of luxury and individuality. The leatherette seats with contrasting stitching, blacked-out trim pieces, and dark metal accents enhance the sporty vibe of the cabin. The driver-focused layout is complemented by ambient lighting and a premium Bose sound system that transforms every journey into an experience.
The Seltos X-Line also boasts a panoramic dual-screen setup featuring a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a fully digital instrument cluster. Wireless smartphone connectivity, a powered driver seat, air purifier, and dual-zone climate control ensure that both comfort and technology are front and center.
Powerful Engine Options and Smooth Performance
The Seltos X-Line is expected to be offered with the top-end engine choices, including the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel powertrains. These engines are known for their strong performance and refined driving dynamics. The turbo-petrol variant comes mated to a 7-speed DCT (dual-clutch transmission), while the diesel variant is paired with a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
The SUV’s suspension is tuned for comfort and stability, making it well-suited for city commutes as well as highway drives. The higher ground clearance and rugged underbody cladding make it an ideal choice for those who enjoy occasional off-road adventures.
Safety Features for Peace of Mind
Kia continues its focus on safety with the X-Line variant, offering a host of advanced safety features. These include six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control (ESC), hill start assist control (HAC), and a 360-degree camera with blind view monitor. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) such as lane keep assist, forward collision warning, and adaptive cruise control are expected in the top trims, further boosting the SUV’s safety credentials.
Rear cross-traffic alert, tyre pressure monitoring system, and front and rear parking sensors ensure all-round protection and driver confidence, especially in urban environments.
Booking Details and Expected Pricing
Bookings for the Kia Seltos X-Line officially open on May 7, and it is expected to be available in limited quantities initially. With its exclusive styling and top-tier features, the X-Line is likely to be positioned as the flagship variant in the Seltos lineup.
While the exact pricing will be revealed at launch, the Seltos X-Line is expected to be priced in the range of ₹19 lakh to ₹21 lakh (ex-showroom), depending on the engine and transmission configuration.
Final Verdict
