Kia has not yet released detailed specifications for the new 1.5 Turbo Luxury. However, it is expected to have similar features to the 1.5 Premium, except for the engine.

If so, the Kia Seltos 1.5 Turbo Luxury will feature full LED lighting, electrically adjustable and folding side mirrors with turn indicators, automatic wipers, electric tailgate, roof rails, and 17-inch alloy wheels.

The Kia Seltos 1.5 Turbo Luxury is expected to have similar features to the 1.5 Premium variant.

The interior of the new 1.5 Turbo Luxury is predicted to include a leather-wrapped steering wheel and seats, paddle shifters, an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, front ventilated seats, a digital instrument cluster, and a 10.25-inch central touchscreen infotainment system. It will also feature wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a 6-speaker audio system, dual-zone automatic climate control, a head-up display, wireless phone charging, and auto-dimming rearview mirrors.

Unfortunately, the 1.5 Turbo Luxury variant does not include advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, lane-following assist, forward collision avoidance assist, safe exit assist, and driver attention warning. Instead, it is equipped with six airbags, electronic parking brakes, auto hold, a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, tire pressure monitoring, blind-spot collision avoidance assist, and rear cross-traffic collision avoidance assist.

The Kia Seltos 1.5 Turbo Luxury lacks advanced ADAS features compared to the highest variant.

The Kia Seltos 1.5 Turbo Luxury is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-four gasoline engine, producing 158 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 253 Nm of torque between 1,500 and 3,500 rpm. The engine is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. It also offers three drive modes (Normal, Eco, and Sport) and three terrain modes (Snow, Mud, and Sand), similar to the other variants.

With the introduction of the 1.5 Turbo Luxury variant, Kia is providing Vietnamese consumers with more options and enhancing the appeal of the Seltos in the B-SUV segment.
