At Kia’s ‘Big Event’, the carmaker announced it will foray into a new segment in early-2022. Initially, that led us to believe that it could be a Marazzo-rivalling MPV, but spy shots have hinted at something else. A Seltos-based 7-seater, which will lock horns with the Tata Safari, MG Hector, and importantly, the Hyundai Alcazar. Let us explain: For context, here is a comparison of the Seltos and the upcoming Kia 7-seater SUV: You can see that the A-pillar and front doors are similar. Also, like the Harrier-based Safari, we see a taller roof, which will result in more headroom for the third-row occupants. And like the Creta-based Alcazar, the 7-seater Seltos could come with a larger backdoor and a restyled rear end.
