With regards to the reasoning behind the increase in prices for these models, we can guess that it might be connected to the brand’s efforts in adjusting to the supply and demand for these particular cars. Also, note that other markets like India also had price increases for several Kia models this year. 

Apart from the price changes, Kia Philippines also introduced the Seltos SX AT 2-Tone variant. Specs-wise, it is identical to the SX AT. As its name suggests though, it comes in a more stylish, two-tone color scheme.
