Witnessing the rising demand for SUVs in the market, KIA has revealed the new face-lift version of the Seltos. Present at the launch, the News 24 team had the chance to talk tête-à-tête with Atul Sood, Senior VP, KIA India. Through our interview, we tried to get a grasp of what’s next for KIA in the upcoming period and how the all-new KIA Seltos is better than the previous versions.|
During our interview with Atul Sood, we tried to understand how the profile of the typical KIA Seltos buyer has changed over the years since its first launch in India, why KIA thought that the new car was supposed to be manufactured on a newer platform, the K3. Sr VP marketing sales gave us the insight Atul Sood gave us the insight that With the change in the platform, the car now has enhanced structural integrity and, hence, is much safer.
