Redefining Safety with ADAS

The All-New Seltos enhances safety with its Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) - the same system in the Hyundai Verna, Tucson and Kia EV6. Working with three radars and one windscreen-mounted camera, ADAS provides 17 features for a comprehensive experience. These enhance on-road safety by:

• Helping drivers stay in lane (Lane Keeping Assist)

• Automatically adjusting speed to maintain distance from the car ahead (Adaptive Cruise Control)   

• Alerting drivers and applying brakes to avoid collisions (Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist)

• Detecting blind spot vehicles and warning drivers (Blind-Spot Collision Warning)

• Alerting drivers to approaching vehicles when reversing (Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning)  

• Notifying drivers of speed limits and warning if exceeded (Intelligent Speed Limit Warning)

Stay Connected with Kia Connect

The All-New Seltos offers extensive connected car features through Kia Connect, setting a new industry benchmark. With 67 smart features, drivers can remotely control and monitor their vehicle. Key features include:

• Remotely starting/stopping the engine and controlling climate settings 

• Tracking the vehicle in real-time and receiving alerts if it enters or exits specified areas

• Tracking and immobilising the vehicle if stolen

• Quickly connecting with emergency services in an emergency

• Accessing information like maintenance reminders and diagnostic reports remotely

Futuristic Dual Screen Panoramic Infotainment Cluster

The All-New Seltos offers an immersive futuristic infotainment experience with a dual-screen panoramic display and 10.25" HD touchscreen navigation system providing access to navigation, multimedia and vehicle settings. This is the same setup in the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Verna.

Replacing the traditional instrument cluster is a 10.25” full digital cluster with a colour LCD MID display providing information like speed, fuel consumption and navigation. 

There is also an all-new 8-speaker Bose sound system and 8-inch head-up display.
