Environmentally friendly vehicles are now the main road map of the world's automotive manufacturers. As an efficiency measure, electric car products are usually developed from an internal combustion car (ICE) platform.
This strategy will also be carried out by the South Korean automotive brand, KIA. It was widely reported that KIA will launch an electric SUV based on the KIA Seltos.
Although it is not known for sure, when the electric KIA Seltos was introduced, the design of the KIA Seltos began to appear in cyberspace. One of them is a digital sketch or rendering of an electric KIA Seltos published on the electricvehicleweb.in site.
From the image it can be seen that the electric version of the Seltos will maintain the same design language as the conventional engine version of the Seltos.
A striking change on the exterior is the redesigned front grille without air voids. As is known, electric motors do not require air intake to drive the engine or cool the engine.
As for the fascia design, the electric KIA Seltos is believed to still retain the shape of the tiger nose, but is somewhat similar to the one seen in the Kia e-Soul crossover.
As an affirmation of the status of an environmentally friendly vehicle, blue accents are also pinned above the headlights, including around the fog lights and on the skid plate. In addition, this car is equipped with LED headlights, DRLs, and LED fog lights with 3 dots.
As for the interior, the electric KIA Seltos is expected to be equipped with the latest features such as an electric sunroof, ventilated seats, touch screen for infotainment, as well as AC ventilation for rear passengers.
The electric version of the KIA Seltos will likely carry a 64 kWh battery pack, which is the same unit as the one used in the electric Hyundai Kona.
The electric motor will power the front wheels and is expected to have a range of up to 450 km. Seltos EV (Electric Vehicle) supports both AC and DC charging, which allows users to recharge the battery quickly (quick charge) if needed.
