Jo spied Kia Sorento SUV dekhi gayi hai, woh kaafi heavy camouflage mein hai, but phir bhi kuch design details dikh hi jaati hai. Spy shots mein global-spec model jaise hi vertically-stacked LED headlamps nazar aa rahe hai, aur unke upper mein ek silk LED DRL strip bhi lagi hui hai.
Grille or bumper toh fully coverd hai, par front camera or front parking sensors clearly visible hai. Global-spec model mein ADAS ke liye radar sensor hota hai, but yeh spied model mein missing hai. Ho sakta hai production-spec version mein yeh add kar diye jaye, because Seltos jo is SUV se below position hoti hai Kia ke line-up mein, usme yeh feature already offer kiya jaata hai.
Spy shots mein 19-inch ke alloys dikh rahe hai, jinpe 235/55 wale tyres lage hue hai.
