The new Kia Seltos X-Line has been heavily upgraded in terms of cosmetic changes. Be it the new ‘Xclusive Matte Graphite’, which is the matte shade that is one-of-its-kind in the Seltos family or the ‘Xclusive Piano black finish on the front and rear skid plates, ORVMs, antenna and other areas of the car, the Korean automaker has made enough efforts to ensure that this one looks different from your everyday Seltos! Another thing that makes it stand out is the X-Line badge on the tailgate. The sun orange accents on the inserts also make it different from the family.
