The 2024 Kia Seltos 1.6T has more power, an extra 20 horsepower compared to the previous model and a new 8-speed automatic transmission which replaces the 7-speed dual clutch transmission which some felt to be a bit jerky.

The 2024 Kia Seltos interior is more refined than the previous model with less hard plastic, but there is some piano black at the centre console and on the doors.
