it's officially confirmed - from Kia Canada media news:

Urban-Ready Crossover Joins Kia’s Bold Utility Lineup Coming Soon to Canada
• Combines modern styling and sophistication with technology that enables your urban life
• Right-sized; slots between iconic Soul and sleek Sportage
• Powered by efficient 2.0-litre or spirited 1.6-litre Turbo four-cylinder engines
• Available all-wheel drive
• Well-appointed interior laden with smart technology to enhance the on-road experience harkens to Telluride levels of refinement

Toronto, ON, Nov. 22, 2019 – Kia Canada Inc. (KCI) – Refined and right-sized for everything the Canadian landscape can throw at it, from urban alleyways to Prairie straightaways, the all-new Seltos enlivens the Entry SUV segment with an energetic personality that exemplifies the spirit of Kia. As a utility vehicle with an abundance of attitude, the Seltos arrives in North America with modern styling and a penchant for adventure, whether that means everyday driving in the city or in the wilderness on weekends. Complementing Kia’s robust SUV lineup, and following on the heels of the Telluride, the Seltos slots between the popular Soul and Sportage models, providing a premium and tech-savvy cabin, a choice of two well-tested engines and an available all-wheel drive system. Looking at all it has to offer, it’s no wonder the 2021 Kia Seltos is poised and ready to become a true contender in the fastest growing segment in Canada when it goes on-sale in 2020.

Just noticed, you live in "The County" and drive a blue Kia Soul, do you happen to know Mia Lane, the artist?
She drives the same car as you.

I know of her but do not know her (she does some great animal pictures), she is on the opposite end of "The County" to me.

I work with her husband, he drives it occasionally.    Apparently her biggest concern when buying a car is the colour.

Do you ever get out to the airport to watch autoslaloms or arm-drop drag-racing?

Odd that they detuned the 1.6t down to 175hp but the reviewers seem uniformly impressed with the power.  This is easily the most visually striking entry in the segment, IMO.  Interior looks good (too bad about the hard plastic dash and doors though).  And it's no slug.  Methinks Kia has another "Selluride" on their hands.
