The XC40 is available in the following colours:
Metallic shades are a $1200 option on all petrol models, but are a no-cost option on electric models.
Seven colours are offered across the line-up, including a new Pluton Blue finish. The outgoing models’ Starlight Yellow has been dropped, while Clear White and Pluton Blue are available with a contrast Fusion Black roof exclusively on the Seltos GT-Line.
The other single colours include Neptune blue, Mars orange, Steel grey, Gravity grey, Cherry black and Snow White pearl.

In base specification the Kia Seltos is practical and refreshingly uncomplicated, although it lacks the polish of newer rivals.
