South Korean automaker Kia Motors has decided to name its mid-sized SUV, which will be launched in India, the Seltos. The name is inspired by Greek mythology and the legend of 'Celtos' - the son of Hercules.

The company said that it has replaced C with S as the car exhibits speed, sportiness and strength.

"Seltos is all set to redefine the mid-SUV car segment with its eye-catching looks, exclusive segment first features and athletic design. We have spent a lot of time in perfecting our car to suit the taste of the Indian customers and I am glad that this originally India intended car is so perfect that it compelled us to make Seltos available globally. The car looks absolutely stunning and very closely matches the SP concept we showcased at the 2018 Auto Expo. I am confident that Kia Seltos would be an outright favourite when it hits the roads in the next few months," said Manohar Bhat, Head, Marketing and Sales, Kia Motors India.

Kia Seltos is all set to have its world premier in India on June 20 and will be launched in the second half of 2019. It will be made for the world at the company's facility in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh.

The Seltos exterior will have distinctive details such as long hood, a strong character line on the front bumper and sharp lines pressed into the bodywork. The cabin, meanwhile, will be characterised by broad, sweeping lines and sophisticated detailing.

The Seltos will come equipped with a range of connected technologies to maximise convenience, comfort and ease of use.

Kia Motors signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Andhra Pradesh government in April, 2017, to build a new manufacturing facility in Anantapur district. The manufacturing facility is expected to begin production in the second half of 2019 and produce approximately 300,000 units per year.
