Along with this, Seltos gets a lot more features like six airbags, smart air-purifier, LED headlamps, flat-bottom steering wheel, twin-pod analogue instrument cluster, rear reclining seat, mood lighting and much more.

Telluride comes with a 3.8 Litre V6 petrol engine that produces 291 PS and 355 Nm of peak torque. It comes mated to an 8-speed AT gearbox as standard. Kia has no plans to launch the Telluride as of now because it is highly unfeasible for our market. If it comes to India, it could go against Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour.
