The interior of the Anniversary Edition Seltos is finished in an all-black theme, with black inserts on the dashboards, door cards and seats. In terms of features, the Anniversary Edition is similar with the HTX trim. It means it comes with ABS with EBD, dual front airbags, LED headlights and tail lights, keyless entry, sun-roof, rear AC vents and more. There are also features like 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system supported by AndroidAuto and AppleCarPlay, Kia’s own connected car tech ‘UVO’, six-speaker music system, wireless charging port, air purifier and ambient mood lighting among others.
Kia Anniversary Edition is equipped with the same engine as regular Seltos, that means it comes with a 1.5 litre, petrol engine which pushes 115hp and 144Nm torque, mated to a six-speed manual or CVT gearbox. The other engine option is a 1.5 litre turbo diesel engine, which churns out 115hp and 250Nm of torque, which comes with a six-speed manual gearbox. The six-speed torque converter automatic gearbox is not available with the Anniversary Edition. This edition will be limited to a stock of 6,000 units. Kia sells more than 9,000 units of Seltos every month. The Seltos has proven its mettle in the market and has brought with it an unseen list of features in this segment. It rivals the likes of the Nissan Kicks, Hyundai Creta and even base versions of Tata Harrier.
