Kia Seltos Gravity Edition Launch Tomorrow?
The Gravity Edition of the Seltos will sport Kia’s new logo
-
Kia will launch the Seltos Gravity Edition tomorrow.
-
It will likely get a 6-speed iMT (clutchless manual), like the Sonet.
-
It could come with some new features, including a panoramic sunroof.
-
No changes are expected with the 1.5-litre diesel engine.
-
The Gravity Edition will command a premium.
It has been almost two years since the Seltos was launched in India. The Anniversary Edition arrived last year, and now, we are expecting the new Gravity Edition to launch tomorrow. We hazard this guess because the carmaker sent us a ‘Save the Date’ invite (for tomorrow, of course), and we think it could concern the launch of the Seltos Gravity Edition.
South Korea got this edition in 2020.
The updated Seltos will likely get a few cosmetic enhancements, including a revised chrome-studded front grille and a bigger set of alloy wheels. A panoramic sunroof could be on the cards as well. These aside, other features like the 10.25-inch touchscreen system, air purifier, and ventilated front seats will be carried forward.

The Seltos’s petrol variants (a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated and 1.4-litre turbo-petrol) will also likely get Hyundai-Kia’s clutchless manual 6-speed iMT (intelligent manual transmission). No changes are expected on the diesel unit.
