Kia India has released the first teaser video of the upcoming Seltos X Line in the country. Being showcased as Kia Seltos X Line Concept at the 2020 Auto Expo, it is expected to be launched/revealed around August 22 as the Kia's first SUV in the Indian market celebrates its second anniversary on this day. Presently, the Seltos line up is evenly divided between Tech Line and GT Line and it remains to be seen whether the production-ready X Line variant will be positioned below or above the existing range-topping GT Line trim.
Going by the teaser video, it comes with a caption which reads, "It’s time to unleash A New Species Of Badass. ProjectX unveiling soon.” Kia has always associated the word 'badass' with the Seltos in India and hence, it confirms that the teased vehicle is indeed the X Line trim of the SUV.

There will be a 1.5L petrol engine with 114 bhp of top power and a 1.5L diesel engine with maximum power of 114 bhp.
