Kia Seltos X-Line: The Toughest Look for the Brunei Commute

The Urban Warrior

You’ve probably seen plenty of Seltos around Brunei, but the X-Line hits different. It drops the chrome and goes all-in on darker finishes, giving it a more aggressive look without trying too hard. Same practical SUV underneath, just with more personality. It feels less like a typical family car and more like something you actually enjoy driving every day.

Turbocharged Confidence

The biggest upgrade is under the hood. The 1.6L turbo engine makes a noticeable difference compared to the base version. It’s quick when you need it, especially for overtaking, and the 8-speed automatic keeps everything smooth. Add AWD and you get extra confidence when roads get wet or uneven.

• Turbo Power: 195 hp and 264 Nm that actually feels strong on the road.
• 8-Speed Auto: Smooth shifts without the lag you get from some CVTs.
• AWD System: Helps keep things stable in heavy rain or rough patches.
• Ground Clearance: 190mm, enough for daily obstacles and bad roads.
• Quiet Cabin: Solid insulation makes long drives more comfortable.

• Dual Screens: Clean digital setup that’s easy to use.
• Ventilated Seats: A big win for hot weather.
• X-Line Details: Dark theme and subtle styling touches.
• Bose Audio: Good enough for music lovers on long drives.
• Wireless Charging: Keeps things simple and clutter-free.
